HOT GUILTY SAYS THE JURY Automobile Driver Acquitted of Manslaughter at Lincoln. KILLED YOUNG LADY AT STREET CROSSING William Coon, who Killed Miss Nellie Smith Goes Free. LINCOLN. Nov. 17. Wm. Coon, owner of the Lincoln Automobile Co., who has been on trial in the district court for the murder of Miss Nellie Su.Lh, a young lady of this city whom he ran over at a street crossing last full, was acquitted last night of the charge. The accident occurred on April 30, 1908. Two sisters, Misses Nellie and Lizzie Smith, had lecn shopping dur ing a portion of the noon hour and were on their way back to work. They were crossing Twelfth street on the wuith side of 0 street and had gone about fifteen feet uito the street when they saw the nutomobjlo coming to ward them front the south. One of the girls jumped back out of the road, but Miss Nellie Smith was struck by the gunrd and thrown a distance of ten or twelve feet, her head striking the pavement. She was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried into a drug store. Dr. J. F. Stevens who was near when the accident oc curred, examined the injuries and found that the woman cou Id not live I Ier.sk ull was fractured. ; She died within a short time. j.'Siivj. A number of persons saw the aeci- dent but their statements differed as to the speed of the machine and the dis tance the young woman was thrown. It was found that Mr. Coon was driv ing the machine without a number on it. The estimates on the rate of speed the machine was . traveling varied greatly. Some thought it was less than ten miles per hour, while others placed the estimate at a much higher rate. The distance covered by the auto nftcr striking the woman was considerable, and some regarded this fact as evidence that the machine was . going at a high rate of speed. Mr. t Coon's statement at the time was that he could have slopped the car much quicker, but In! was so excited after Miss Smith w:s hurt that it was some time before he was able to make the effort.
