Lovejoy Acquitted.

The trial of Wisner D. Lovejoy, former county attorney of Washington county, 
who was charged with embezzling the funds of a client, was concluded Tuesday 
evening, when the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty.  The case excited an 
unusual amount of interest owing to Lovejoy’s personal popularity, and the 
peculiar circumstances in connection with the alleged crime, together with the 
difficulty experienced in obtaining jurymen.

The charge against Lovejoy was that he had wrongly appropriated $100 given him 
by E. M. Barton in payment for a liquor license.  It will be remembered that 
Lovejoy left the state when the charges were made and remained away for some 
time, eventually surrendering himself to the Washington county sheriff in 
Boise.
