The fact that many of the houses of

der in it, it never blazes. The great OBJ
lection to the use of this wood in the

Legal Battle.

This demonstration was a marked con-
trast to that which took place when Frank
M~illington, Mary Millington, his wife, and
Sarah Millington, his sister. a pretty
young girl of eighteen, were accused OF
poisoning William II. Avery, the former
husband Of Mrs. Millington, and one OF
the wealthiest citizens of Fort Collins,
Colo. Then a bowling mob assaulted and
threatened to lynch them.
The case was a remarkable one. In 1884
Frank Millington, then fresh from college,
entered into partnership with w. II.
Avery. Mrs. Avery was the orgauist in
one Of the churches and a leader In Fort
Collins social circles. Avery was a grim,
taciturn man, absorbed in business and
much away from home, and M%illington
was thrown a great deal in the society OF
his wife.
In May. 1890, Avery was taken suddenly
Ill, and died a few weeks afterward. Just
before his sickness Millington left the
state, but he returned to Denver shortly
after Avery's death, and he and Mrs. Avery
were married secretly at Hastings. Neb.
When the gossips Of Fort Collins heard OF
the wedding they were wild. It was learned
that during Millington's absence Mrs. Az
cry had correspondent with him through
his sister Sarah, or "Dillie," as she was
called Avery's body was eKhumed, but
no trace of poison could be found. But
Fort Collins was not satisfied. The viscera
were again dug up, and the presence Of a
small quantity Of arsenic discovered Then
Millington and his wife and sister were nc
cused OF poisoning Avery, and they were
arrested and almost mobbed by the popu.
lace.
The trial disclosed the fact thai Mrs
Mtlington wa a much abused woman.
that her husband was cold and crnel; that
she fell in love with Milllngton. but that
their relations were pure, and she was con
templating "A divorce when Avery died.
There was no evidence OF crime. The traces
OF arsenic In the yiscera undoubtedly came
from the embalmlng huid. Then there
a reyulsion OF popular feeling, and the
Acquittal OF the defendants was the signal
for an uproarious display Of delight.
