MURDERER ACQUITTED
SYMPATHETIC FRENCH JURY Paris, November 2. ' A jury acquitted Muller, a young workman, on a charge of murdering the legal representative of the company where he was employed. Muller lost his right arm in an accident, and was awarded £2O annually. He demanded £4O, and, when it was refused, shot the firm’s representative dead. _ ■ At the trial Muller pleaded, that the refusal to increase his pension made it impossible for him to support his mother. Several of the jury burst into tears. He was acquitted, and received with cheers in the Court.
