Many Innovations Planned Store Returned to Brooklyn Interests Long Beach, Feb. 17 HV-The State's explanation of the sensational slaying of "Captain" Walter Wanderwell a mystery with back-ground and developments rivaling detective fiction was rejected by Jury. On the fourth ballot, the Jury at 10:35 lasf night freed 23-year-old William James Guy of the charge he slew the leader of an adventure-seeking band of eight young women nd seven men last Dec. 5. The Jury took the case at p.m.

yesterday, The almost fantastic career of Wanderwell, 39, Polish-born soldier of fortune, was ended by a revolver bullet on board his yacht Carma, docked in the ocean harbor here. In a few days, the Carma, a former rum-running craft bought at a customs auction, was to have put out for Hawaii, the South Seas and Oriental ports on a vagabond cruise for which the strangely assorted crew members were charged $190 each. Guy was not a member of the crew, but he and his wife were members of a 1931 automobile-ship expedition, Buenos Aires to San Francisco, which they left In Central America after a quarrel with the leader, Wanderwell. This quarrel was offered by the prosecution as a motive for Wanderwell's killing. Receiving the verdict with a characteristic smile and thanks, to each of the Jurors, Guy was taken Immediately to the county Jail at Los Angeles to await disposition of a charge of illegally entering this country.

The charge has been pending almost since the time he was arrested, Dec. 7, in the murder case.
