        Vanderpool.
        
        The third trial of GEORGE VANDERPOOL,
      for the murder of HERBERT FIELD, at 
      Manistee, two years since, has at last
      been brought to a close. The following,
      which we clip from the Free Press, gives
      the result of the trial:
                      "Hastings, Sept. 13.
        "The end has come at last. The jury,
      after having been duly charged by his
      Honor, the Judge, was given possession
      of the court room for their deliberations,
      everybody else being excluded. This was
      at about ten o'clock.
        "At three o'clock the jury asked for
      further instructions as to the difference
      between murder in the first degree, and
      murder in the second degree. Having been
      informed, they deliberated another hour,
      and at about four o'clock court was con-
      vened to hear the rendering of the verdict.
        "They announced that they had agreed
      upon a verdict of 'not guilty."
        "When this result was announced, VANDER-
      POOL remained unmoved, but his wife went
      off in a fit of hystirics, lasting for some
      time. Of course there is great excitement
      here over the result, which is different
      from what even the most sanguine of VANDER-
      POOL's friends had expected.
