L
Ftve Jurors Were Firm for Ac
quittal From the First.
M. Sprock, a Successful Music Com
poser, Was Impressed by Accused's
Apparent Sincerity Length ol
Jury's Deliberation Explained by
Obscurity of Questions Put to Them
to Answer Belief Trat the Crime
Was Committed by Burglars.
The members of the Jury which
acquitted .Mine. Stein hell at Paris
have of cours been Interviewed.
M. Sporck, a successful music compos
er, who distinguished himself by the
care with which he took notes through
out the trial, says he Degnn the case
vkhoiit the sllghest previous cWivlc
tions about it. He was Impressed by
Mine. Stelnhcil'z alncerlty. He Is pro
fessionally well acquainted In the the
atrical world, and he became con
vinced that she was not acting.
Vive of the jurymen were firm par
tisans of acqulttul throughout. M.
'Sporck's notes show that he was es
pecially impressed by Detective
Pn'ice's declaration that he was ab
solutely sure of Mme. Stelnhell's
innocence. He explained the ' length
of the Jury's deliberations by the ob
scurity of the questions they were to
answer.
The first question, "Is Mme. Stein
hell guilty of the voluntory homicide
of h"r mother?" was negatived by a
vote of 8 to 3, one Juror not voting
The second question. "Is Mine. Steln
hell guilty of voluntary homicide of
her husband?" was negatived by a vote
of 10 to 2. The third qutistlon,
"Were these homicides premeditated?"
required nn appeal to the Judge. It
was then negotlved 9 to 3.
The Judge was again called on for
the fourth question, "Did the second
homicide precede, accompany or fol
low the fourth?" After being informed
by the Judge the jury negatived the
question by a vote of 10 to 2.
The seven subsidiary questions tend
ing to establish complicity In the crime
took longer to answer. The first two,
"Is It established that a voluntary
homicide was committed on Mme.
Japy?" and "Is Mme. Steinhell guilty
of having wittingly aided in this hom
icide," were each negatived by a vote
of !) to 3. The third subsidiary ques
tion, "Was Mme. Japy Mme. Steln
hell'B legitimate mother?" puzzled the
Jury, who thought it contained a trap
of some sort.
Consequently the Judge was recalled
and he explained that the code allows
no extenuating circumstances in cases
of parricide. The question was then
Ignored. The fourth question, "Is it
established that a voluntary homicide
was committed on M. Steinhell?" was
negatived 8 to 4. The other questions,
"Was there premeditation?" "Did the
homicide of M. Steinhell precede, ac
company or follow the voluntary homi
cide of Mme. Japy?" and "Is Mme.
Steinhell guilty of aiding therein?"
were all negatived 9 to 3.
M. Sporck believes that the crime
was committed by ordinary burglars,
who left Mme. Steinhell alive in order '
to Incriminate her. Another juror
confesses that he was greatly Influ
enced by the fact that he has a daugh
ter of about the same age as Marthe,
Mme. Stelnhell's daughter.

STEINHEI
ACQUITTED
HYPNOTIZED JAILER
Professor Everton Walts In Vain F
Friend to Bail Him.
Professor Arthur Everton, the hyp
notlbt, held for manslaughter, waltei
In vain In the Somerset county Jai
at Somerville, N. J., for his friends t
come from Newark with $4,000 casl
ball to secure his release.
He hypnotized Keeper James P. Ma
Jor of the county Jail. Keeper Majoi
had Just led the doctors Into the wit
ness room In which Everton Is im
prisoned, and stood near the dooi
with a bunch of keys In his hand whei
Everton stood motionless before hire
and looked him squarely In the eye foi
a few seconds, after which he calmlj
remarked: "Major, you are falling for
ward." Major's body ftlffened and
leuned gradually forward and h
would have fallen face downward or
the floor had not Everton caught him
and supported him In his arms.
Everton next stood Major In an up
right position until be recovered hit
normal condition, when he got behind
him and, making a quick pass down
the keeper's spine with his nana", said
in easy tones: "Major, you are falling
backward."
Major's eyes closed as If In slum
ber, and ho leaned backward until he
lost his balance and was again caught
by Everton, who would have experi
enced no difficulty in laying him on the
floor and relieving him of the keys
he had In his hands, after which he
could have made an easy escape from
the Jail.
SITE FOR PUBLIC BUILDING
Donated by Mrs. Thompson of Canan
daigua and She Also Furnished
the Plans.
Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson, whose
philanthropy has done much for Will
lams college and the town of Canan
dulgua, N. Y., where she lives, has the
unique distinction of having plans sub
mitted by her own architects, Allen &
Collens of Boston, adopted by the
treasury department at Washington
for the new public building at Canan
daigua. Mrs. Thompson, who has been the
"pood angel" of the Canandaigua pub
lie building, donated the site. The
treasury department accepted the do
nation. Then Mrs. Thompson In
quired whether the government offi
cers would consider plans ffxr- the
building If she submitted them, and
Acting Secretary Hill decided that no
statute forbids the acceptance of do
nad plans.
The plans proved to be attractive
and original, having been made after
suggestions submitted by Mrs. Thomp
son. The only 'obstacle was the dis
covery that the appropriation of $75,
000 authorized by congress was not
Bufliclent to construct a building after
the plans submitted. She was not
daunted by this suggestion and di
rected the department to proceed and
build after her plans and if Uncle
Sam did not relax she would see that
the necessary funds were produced to
complete the work.
MOB HANGED TWO MEN
Negro Suspected of Murder and White
Man Accused of Killing His Wife.
A mob numbering about 10,000 per
sons on Friday' night Cairo, 111.,
lynched Will James, the negro sus
pected of being the murderer of Alias
Annie Pelley. He was hung up In the
largest public rquare In the city. The
rope broke and hundreds of shots
were poured into his body. The mob
then dragged the body. through the
streets for a mile to the place where
the murder was committed.
James had made a partial confes
sion. The mob looked for Alexan
der, whom James Implicated.
The murderer was caught Thursday
afternoon near Karnak, 111., and taken
from the sheriff and brought to Cairo.
Later Henry Salzner, white, a pho
tographer, who killed his wife last
July with an ax, was taken from jail
and lianged to a telegraph pole and
his body riddled with bullets.
FEAR OF GHOULS
A Watchman Stationed Every Night
at Grave of E. H. Harriman.
Fearing ghouls may try to desecrate
the grave of the 'ale Edward H. Harri
man in the graveyard of St. John's
Protestant Episcopal church at Ar
en, a watchman has been stationed
there and Is on duty every night. A
time clock Is stationed at the Harrf
man grave and the watchman has to
visit it every little while during the
night.
Contrary to reports at the time of
the funeral the Harriman grave is
not blasted from solid rock. Only a
portion of It Is in rock, considerable
soil having been removed before rock
was found. The sides of the vault
are laid In cement and the top sealed
by 18 inches of concrete reinforced
with a heavy chain, which was form
erly usied as a derrick chain at the
Harriman mansion, and there Is little
chance for ghouls breaking In.
No Chance For Suffrage Plank.
The Earl of Crewe, lord privy seal,
told a deputation of Liberal wo
men at London that there was no
chance of the government support
ing a woman suffrage plank In the nex'
election. There weie, he said, sharp
differences of opinion on the question
among the members of the cabinet.
He was convinced as the question
stood now that the house of commons
would defeat such a proposal by a very
large majority.
FRESH FIREJN MI
By Order of Mine Experts Main
Shaft Was Sealed Again.
Experts Believe It Will Be Several
Days Before Further Effort to Reach
the Entombed Miner Can Be Made.
Water Supply Is Low and Tank
Train and Fire Fighting Apparatus
Are Being Rushed From Neighbor
ing Towns.
Cherry, III., Nov. 1G. Fire has
broken out afresh In the St. Paul mine
and fire engines and fire fighting ap
paratus are being rushed here from
LaSalle on a special train.
By order of the mining experts and
Inspectors, after a conference with G.
o. Rice, chief of the field work of the
United States geological survey, the
mtin shaft was sealed again in the
hopo of smothering the flames suffi
ciently to permit of fighting the fire
when the special engines arrive. The
fire broke out with great Intensity
after the rescue workers and Inspec
tors had thrice descended Into the
shaft to the bottom.
On the first two trips no sign of fire
was detected near the shaft and there
was little Btnoke. Then the fans were
stal led in the hope of clearing the gal
leries that search for the bodies might
proceed. Suddenly the flames were
rekindled, the tire pouring out of the
stables, where It started.
Inspector James Taylor and R. Y.
Williams were being lowered Into the
shaft when they discovered the flames
abuut 100 feet from the bottom of the
shaft and towards the exit shaft. They
signalled for an ascent and ordered a
call for the fire department. The wa
ter power proved Insufficient and with
in a short time the shaft was sending
forth volumes of smoke and the heat
became excessive.
The water supply here Is low and
officials of the company are ordering
t-nk trains from nearby towns.
All hope of further exploration In
the mine wa9 abandoned and experts
believe it will be several days before
any further effort to reach the en
tombed miners can be made. Shortly
after the mine was resealed the offi
cials announced that carbonic gas or
steam would be forced through the
pipes to the bottom of the mine. Pres
ident McDonald of the United Mine
Workers snid. If this was done, every
man In the mine would be dead within
a few minutes.
384 DEAD IN MINE
Fire That Gutted Two Shafts Hat
Been Extinguished.
Three hundred and eighty-four men
are dead In the mine of the St. Paul
Conl company at Cherry 111, where
they were trapped by fire on Sat
urday afternoon. All efforts to res
cue have failed. Not a Blgn of life
hat, been received from the Imprisoned
men.
The fire which gutted the two shafts
has been smothered, but it is feared
that the men's lives have been snuffed
out by that effort to save them from
being roasted alive.
Mine experts In Drneger oxygen
helmets have made five trips down in
theiair shaft. They xeached the sec
ond' vein level but not one of the
miners ha been reached.
MRS. EDDY'S COMMAND
Obeyed by First Church Scientists and
Charges Dropped.
New York, Nov. 16. Twelve hun
dred members of the First Church
of Christ. Scientists, fortified them
selves with five minutes of silent
prayer in the congregational meeting
before proceeding to vote on the ques
tion of removal of First. Reader Virgil
O. Strickler on charges preferred
by all the trustees of the church
except one. Ten , minutes after that
time the meeting was declared ad
journed, the trustees' charges dropped
without even a vote and the first read
er was secure In his position through
the unexpected Intervention of Mrs.
Baker G. Eddy herself.
A personal message from the leader
of the church herself had been deliv
ered to the chairman of the board of
trustees by special, messenger. The
trustees had construed the message as
a command, and when Wie first reader
opened the meeting which had been
presumed to be the crucial test of the
belligerent factions that have split the
Virst. Church on the issue of Mrs. Au
gusta E. Stetson's orthodoxy, he knew
that those who prayed silently for
guidance In their voting already had
their way made dear to them.
Mrs. Eddy exhorted all to support
the mother church. Since Mr. Strick
ler has been in the position of sup
porting the mother church against the
advocates of Mrs. Stetson among the
trustees, the trustees themselves
could read but one Injunction In the
twelfth hour message from their lead
er and In obeying they gave up the
fight against Mr. Strickler.

WEST INDIAN HURRICANE
Lost of Life In Jamaica Known to Bt
20; Banana Crop Destroyed.
Kingston, Nov. 16. The loss of life
during the recent hurricane and tor
rential ralim is now figured at about
twenty. It Is known that one family
of ten was lost In the interior.
Communication by cable was re
stored today, but the land lines are
still down In many directions and
communication with the Interior is in
terrupted. In a general way it may be stated
that 40 per cent of the banana crop of
this year Is lost, a number of vessels
are ashore and the property loss to
private individual? and public roads Is
figured at $5,000,000.
The British bark Carpathian Is a to
tal wreck at Opaca Bessa. The Nor
wegian bark Westland Is ashore at
Port Maria. Her mate was drowned
when the vessel went ashore.
The wrecking steamship Premier Is
still working on the steamship Brad
ford of the I'nlted Fruit company
which is ashore In a dangerous posi
tion at Port Antonio.
The family of ten referred to above
as having been lost were drowned
when their home was carried away
during the night by flood.
CLOSE WATCH ON
PALADINO'S WORK
Keller Will Come On If His Agent
Can't Detect Her.
New York Nov. 16. Eusapla Pala-
Jino was such a wreck after the
ieaDce which she gave to the newspa
per men Sunday night that she bad to
stay In bed all day. She will probably
be In shape for another seance to
night She will do her work this evening
before Dr. Saram Ellison, who Is the
representative here of Harry Keller,
the magician, and another physician.
They will watch the actions of Pal
adino In order to find out if it Is worth
while for Keller to come from Los
Angeles to look her over. Ever since
Keller has been doing slight-of-hand
feats he has held out a standing of
fer of $1,000 for any piece of necro
mancy which can't be evplained on
purely physical grounds. If Dr. Elli
son and the other physician decide
that Eusapla's work is beyond their
powers of explanation they will tele
graph Keller to come east and be
present at some of the seances.
Another man to will be at the
seance tonight and who is capable of
picking flaws, is David P. Abbott of
Omaha, who wrote a book exposing
tricky clairvoyants, "Behind the
Scenes with the Mediums." None of
the psychologists such as Professor
Muensterberg and President Stanley
Hall, will be there and probably they
won't attend any of Eusapla's seances
until after the first of the year.
FOREIGN MISSIONARY WORK

Albany, Nov. 16. The Methodist

Wednesday and during which $1,036,-
388 was appropriated for foreign mis
sionary work. It was decided to hold

more, Md. The discussion over the
proposition to combine the foreign and

ter up to the two boards with the
recomendiitlon that they devise means
for cutting down expense.
STATE CANALS CLOSED

the averuge length, owing to the need
