SLEW BIGAMOUS HUSBAND
MEXICAN BEAUTY NOT GUILTY MEXICO CITY, December 6. Amidst scenes of great rejoicing, a jury unanimously pronounced the beautiful Maria Teresa de Linda, better known' as "Miss Mexico," not guilty of the murder of her bigamous husband, General Moses Vidal. The attorney for the . defence, Josia Maria Lozano, held the courtroom's attention for five hours. While the trial proceeded wires came from interior points, beseeching Lozano to use his oratorical gifts as he never had before, to save de Linda. Others "sent their blessings. As the jury rendered its verdict, those iu the courtroom acclaimed Lozano for several minutes, and a thousand persons in the streets, who had been waiting through the long hours until 3 a.m. to know the result of the trial, took up the cries. "Miss Mexico," who some time ago won : a beauty contest at Galveston (Texas), admitted that she had shot General Vidal when he read to her in a paper that his first wife was suing him for bigamy. Before the verdict was rendered, "Miss Mexico" told. interviewers that if the Court freed her. she would become a nun. She did not want to marry again, she said, because Vidal was the only man she had ever gloved.
