“Movie” Manager Acquitted of Violating Sunday Closing Law.

Elkhart, Ind., March 23.—A jury today acquitted Clifford Cole, manager of a moving picture show, of a violation of the Sunday closing law on the tenth ballot. The early ballots stood four for conviction and eight acquittal. A large crowd was in the city court room yesterday, to hear the arguments in the case. Attorney P. L. Turner, for the defense, said he would prove that “such a picture show as was presented at the theatre on the date named was not a violation of the spirit of the socalled Sunday law.”.
