TWICE ACQUITTED MURDER OF INSPECTOR GHOSE
ACCUSED DETAINED IN CUSTODY. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received April 3, 11 a.m.) CALCUTTA, 2nd April. In the re-trial of the student Roy on a charge of murdering Inspector Ghose and a spectator, the Judge summed up against him. The jury, consisting of two Europeans, one Armenian, and six Indians, again acquitted him. The Judge dissented, and discharged the jury. <'! Roy has been detained in custody. [A sensation was caused in the High Court in Calcutta last month when a jury of six Indians and three Europeans, by 6 votes to 3. acquitted Roy. They were unable to agree on the question of the culpable homicide of the spectator. The Judge ordered a re-trial, which has again resulted in acquittal. The defence argued at the first trial that Roy's case was prejudiced by the police publicly giving rewards to witnesses of the crime for the capturing of the accused, whom tho police styled a murderer.]
