ACQUITTED OF ADULTERY

Charge Are the Indiana Couple, Though Pleaded Guilty. Anderson, Ind., June 20— In Police Court this afternoon Mayor Foster acquitted Mrs. Margaret King and Dr. Fred W. Davis, a dentist, both of Jeffersonville, of a charge of adultery alleged to have been committed ■in this city on May 17. Two weeks ago, when arraigned, the woman pleaded guilty, but Dr. Davis pleaded not guilty. Td-day Mrs. King and her husband, Arthur King, were the only witnesses, and Davis was not called to testify, although he was in Court and had three lawyers. The Court discharged Davis on the testimony of the woman, and then asked Mrs. King if she desired to change her former plea. She accepted the opportunity to plead not guilty, and that plea was accepted. It developed that King, who had sued Davis for alleged alienation of affections, had dismissed his complaint upon some sort of a settlement.
