the governor authorized the attorney-general 4o conduct thje case for the state A bill appropriating $10000 for the expenses of the trial was introduced but failed of passage jYhen the attorney-general looked the ground over he deemed it advisable to dismiss the Case in Holt county where it had been begun and to swear out new complaints and bring the trial in Boyd county which lies immediately north of Holt county The result of the trial was an acquittal for the three men and Boyd county was respon isble for the costs Boyd county is sparsely inhabited district and at present
