SATURDAY, APBItr23, 1887.
The uncertainty of a jury's ver
dict was again shown in the Aren
dorf murder trial. Conviction was
not expected by any one who had
watched the evidence, but that
eleven jurors should vote for ac
quittal is somewhat remarkable.
If the state can produce no better
evidence in the other cases, the
prosecutor might as well nolle the
whole business.
Hon. A. J. Weaver died at his
residence in Falls City Monday
evening of peneumonia, after an
illness of a few days. He was
about 44 years of age and had been
a resident of Nebraska since '69,
most of the time having accupied
important public positions. He
was prosecuting attorney for the
first judicial district four years,
then judge of the same district five
years, and represented the "Big
First" in Congress two terms. He
was a self-made man, possessing for
above the average ability. His death
will be quite noticably felt in Ne
braska affairs.
