Criminal Court- Murder Case- Yesterday, in the case of Daniel Roberts, on trial for the murder of John Wolfe, after the close of Mr. Carrington's opening argument, Mr. Norris, the counsel for the prisoner, addressed the Jury for more then hour, urging the plea of self-defence, after which the District Attorney replied, and the case was given to the jury, who, after a short absence from the court-room, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty."
