Atter a careful review of all the testimony taken in the case of the death of Jack Butler, Prosecuting Attorney Kearney, Saturday morning discharged Andrew Schiappacassee from jai I , nothing being discovered on which to hinge a prosecution for maaslaughter. Indeed it does not appear from the testimony which of the two men struck the first blow. Butler, however, was shown to have used insulting language toward both Schiappacassee and members of his family, whereupon Andrew rose frora his seat, the two came together and both delivered blows; they clinched, both feil and Butler never rose again. Dr. Smith, after hearing the testimony showing that Butler before his death frothed at the mouth gave his opiniĆ³n that death was due to a fit. No warrant or complaint had been sworn out against Schiappacassee, his surrender to the custody of the sheriff having been voluntary.
