John Henderson Acquitted.
Word has been received by O. G. [sic] Gutke that John Henderson, his brother-in-law, formerly a citizen of Ogden and well known in railroad circles, was acquitted yesterday, in Los Angeles, of a charge of murder. Herson killed a man named Otto, a chauffeur, who claimed Henderson had shown attention to his wife. The verdict was returned at 3:44 p.m. Tuesday. The shooting occurred last October. Henderson claimed self-defense, Otto having threatened his life.
