STRIKE LEADERS ACQUITTED.
LIABILITY FOR MURDER. Electric Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. New York. Last Night. The protracted murder trial in connection with the textile strike at Lawrence, Massachusetts, has ended in the acquittal of Joseph Ettor, one of the strike leaders, and two alleged abettors. Ettor was charged with being an accessory before the fact in the murder of a woman striker killed iu a riot in January last. It was not contended that he was anywhere iu the vicinity at the time of the killing, but he was charged with having used language inciting to riot, the incidental result of which was the homicide. Tremendous interest was taken in the trial. After the announcement of the verdict the accused embraced and kissed each other.
