trial at Gencseo, of Mrs. Gladys Gan- i
non Webster, 19 years old, charged I
■with the murder of her father-in
law, Edwin Dwyer Webster, last i
August, ended suddenly to-day when |
Justice Robert Thompson directed the j
jury to bring a verdict of not guilty |
and Immediately thereafter discharg- j
ed the defendant.
District Attorney William A. |
Wheeler moved for the dismissal of |
the Indictment on the ground of I
insufficient evidence. He said the '
expert testimony of Dr. Herbert j
Brown, pathologist, as to te presence ■
of arsenic In Edwin Webster's or- •
gans had been in error. Specimens 1
of the contents of Webster's organs, j
said the district attorney, had been i
submitted to Dr. Albert'l*. Sy, toxo-j
logist, of Buffalo, and Dr. Sy had re- j
ported that no traces of arsenic were j
to be found.
Dr. Sy corroborated the district at

sauce, relishes and fruit salad. The
31.48-a-person miinu includes prac
tical y everything that one could de
sire in a well-balanced, first-class full
dinner. The total cost for such a
i meal for four, which could he pre
pared by any housewife in Harris
burg, is $5.94," and is given below
with the cost for each item:
Oyster cocktail, 50c
Celery, 15c Olives, 18c
Roast Turkey, $2.50
Bread filling anil brown gravy, 60c
Cranberry frappe, 20c
Mashed potatoes, 15c
Asparagus t'ps, 35c
Fruit salad, 30c
Crackers, cheese and pears, 3tio
Plum pudding, 50c
Bread, butter nnd coffee, 25c
The Menu Explained
For the oyster cocktail, a pint of
60c oysters would furnish each per
so with about five oysters. The
horse radish nnd catsup necessary
for the cocktail would cost about
20 cents. A five-pound dressed tur
key shou'd easily suffice for four
persons, nnd the current price per
pound in this city is 60 cents. The
filling requires bread, eggs, milk and
seasoning, and the estimate is as
follows: Rrend. 10c; two eggs, 12c,
milk, fie; seasoning and onions, 10c.
This makes a total of 3 8", nnd with
the flour for the gravy this item
would not cost more than fifty cents.
The other items on the menu were
estimated nn follows: A quarter of a
peck of potatoes, 10c, nnd ml k and
butter, sc. The fruit salnd. Includ
ing two oranges, bananas, sugar and
dressing, should not run over the
30 cents allotted to this Item, It Is
altogether within tho realm of
reason to make a plum pudding for
four to cost 50 cents, nnd the cheese
should ho 10 cents, tho pears 20c
arid the crackers fie.
A Clr*npor Dinner
The ether menu suggested, which
wou'd cost an average of $1.0" for
each person, would omit the plum
pudding, the asparagus tlpH nnd tho
oyster coelitnll. und would substitute
cske nnd coffee for crackers, cheese
and pears. Till* menu rosts a total

hiirg, said to be intoxicated, ran his

|in the hospital with a fractured
I skull. Both machines were badly
J wrecked. Accused of being intoxi-
I cated Miller refused to give bail and

French Pour Gifts on
the Wilsons; to Visit Italy
Pari*. Dec. 23.—Gifts of various
sorts are being sent to the President,
end Mrs. Wilson from all parts of
France, many of them homely little,
presents from peasants of their own
handiwork. All are being acknowl
edged.
The President's trip to Italy, which
will probably take place some time
early in January, will he more than a
visit to Rome. It is possible that ho
will choose a route that will take
him, both going and returning,
through some of the most important
industrial centers. The details of thn
trip, however, can not be worked dui
until his return from England.
