The Daily Graphic's correspondent at st.

A NEW TRIAL FOR LAMB.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Judge Disney, Of the
Supreme Court, last night granted 9 super
sedeas In the case Of Johnny Lamb, sentenced
to be hanged on the twentieth instant, on the
charge OF numbering Policeman Race last
October. Lamb Is happy man. This morn
ing be. is confident that he will be granted 9
new trial and cleared. It Is understood that
the stay OF proceedings has been granted on
the strength Of the new evidence found.
Peter Stevens, the wife murderer, who is
now confined In jail with Sheeney George,
says that the latter told him confidently on
several occasions that he killed Race.
Whether the evidence OF convicted mur-
derer can be used IS questionable but 1t is
further claimed that woman has been
found, Mrs. Mary Thompson, who saw the
shooting. Her statement confirms the belief
that Freeman, alias The Sheeney, did the
shooting.

ants lying dead In her room. She was bound
hand and foot and gagged. From appear
ancps her death was caused by strangulatlon.
Ihe room was In disorder, and robbery had
evidently been TIE motive of the murder. The
greatest excitement prevails In the vicinity Of
the tragedy. The police are investigating the
mystery.
The murder Of Mrs. Deforest Hull proves
to be a most diahOlieal outrage. An examin-
alton shows that the victim was first ravished,
committed. Mrs. Hull, VINO was q member Of
the SOrrOsis Society, and we'll known in 40.

and her husband, DR.. Alpnzo Hull, who occu-
pies separate room, half an hour later. The
discovery uf the murder was not made until
this morning. Her rings had been torn from
her fingers and other valuable iewelry stolen
The police believe that at least four men were
concerned 10 the affair, but are puzzled over
are inclined to the belief 1t was done BY
clumsy thieves, and suspicion already points
to some discharged negro servants.
