FORSYTHE ACQUITTED BY PULASKI COUNTY JURY.

Cleared of Charge Preferred by Wlnamae Merchants Who Soaght to Pot Him Oat of Business. Winamac, Ind., March 4.—The big criminal case ended at 3 p. m. today by my acquittal. I was neither Jailed nor hung. B. FORSYTHE. This information was contained on a postal card received at The Republican office Monday morning. It means that Mr. Forsythe can remain in business in Winamac as long as he pleases without paying a license and that he can employ such means of advertising for business as hfe chooses. It looked Friday as though the case might be going against him, but the fact that the jury was composed of farmers, who would probably reluctantly commit a merchant who had been offering real bargains to them, was in his favor. Just what turn the case took or what the instructions of Judge Vurpillat were to the jury this paper does not know. Mr. Forsythe’s friends here will be pleased to learn that he was acquitted.
