Trial of Youth Taken From Jury by Court Order

Duncan McDermott indicted for stealing an automobile was released after the jury returned a not guilty verdict. Judge Worstell instructed the jury to render this verdict as evidence was presented, with Prosecutor Bartels noting McDermott was under eighteen and not within probate court jurisdiction. Ralph Wolfe then faced trial for assault and battery, acknowledging he attacked George Thornton at Thornton's Kimberly-area home but claiming Thornton struck first. Wolfe, who dug a ditch by Thornton’s house, argued the dispute over the ditch led to blows. The case proceeded to the jury after two more witnesses testified, with a verdict expected minutes later.
