It looks as though he was acquitted. The Criminal records on Ancestry have a Sussex trial held at Lewes Autumn Assizes on 17th December 1888 "Inciting to murder". This is the link

Have you tried the British Library newspapers?
A quick free search shows that there are several reports on it there - of course they may the same report as you already have repeated in several different papers.Caroline

How interesting!
My gt grandfather Charles Williams married again after my gt grandmother Ellen died. His 2nd wife, Katherine's father, Jacob Isenschmid was a butcher and was actually arrested on suspicion of being Jack the Ripper. He had bouts of insanity and threatened to kill his wife. He was in an asylum when the real "Jack" committed the double murder. Jacob was living in lodgings in 1891, separated from his wife, but by 1901 he was in Colney Hatch where he died.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy
