MRS. RUSSELL IS FREE.
The Eau Claire Woman Accused of Poisoning
Bertha Erickson Is Released.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May s. Judge
Bailey to-day discharged Mrs. Elizabeth
Russell, who was convicted of murder
a year ago. The defense withdrew the
plea in bar and made motion in
arrest of Judgment which raised
all the issues. Judge Bailey held that
Mrs. Russell had been placed once in
jeopardy and had not waived her consti-
tutional right against a second jeopardy
for the same ofense and also that her
most sacred rights had been SO invaded
by the district attorney in the telephone
episode that q second trial could not re-
store them to her and that the substitu-
ton of another prosecutor, how
ever honorable, could not restore

RATES GO TO PIECES.

Throat-Cutting Game.

The Rio Grande and Santa Fe Play
Throat-Cutting Game.
DENVER, Col, May S.--The Santa Fe
this morning announced a cut in strictly
Colorado rates the like of which has
never been equaled. From any
point on the line of it's Mid
land branch, which can also be
reached by the Rio Grande, the
price for ticket is only % cents, with
the single exception of Grand Junction,
where a cut rate would conflict with the
Union Pacific. The Rio Grande stands
pat at 81 fare for all points reached by
the Midland for % cents. The Rio Gran
de officials are considering reduction
of Eastern rates, but up to noon have
no announcement to make. 1t is gem
orally believed that before the close of
the week Il round trip ticket from this
city to Chicago can be bought for $50,
but there the fight must end or the
several presidents agreement, which
is al that figure, will be violated.

commencement

ncr 10 thc position Snc occupied aI lnc
commencement.
In closing the Judge said: "Thc
discharge of the accused OF these
and lead to expressions untavorahle to
the administration of justice. This
cannot &c avoided 1t may be
urged by some who have been
anxious for the conviction of this
woman whether the evidence was sutlic-
lent or not, that she has escaped pun
iShment ON mere tcchnicalitieS. In
the application of legal principles such
is not the case. Her discharge now
saves the county thousands of dollars
The court is frank enough to state that
unless the evidence given upon a
second trial was more substantial
in its naturc-morc direct and positive
than the evidence given on the former
trial-the court would not, even
if a jury should convict, permit the YER
dict to stand"
Mrs. Russell showed no emotion and
went quietly away with her attorneys.
Mrs Russell was charged with the
murder of Mrs. Bertha Erickson by
poison. The defense claimed death was
due to criminal operation. AS a sup
posed motive for the alleged crime, the
state attempted to show that Mrs. Rus
sell and Peter Erickson, husband of the
dead woman, had been unduly friendly.
Erickson had been employed by Mrs.
Russell at one time on her farm At the
first trial Mrs. Russell was convicted.
Judge Bailey, before whom the trial
took place, at once ordered the case to
the supreme court for Il ruling on GER
tain points of law. The supreme court
set aside the verdict and ordered Il new
trial On the method of taking the case
to the supreme court arose the techni-
cal points on which Mrs. Russell was to-
dav given her liberty.
A sensational incident of the first
trial was the exposure Of certain meth
ODDS alleged to have been pursued by
District Attorney Frawley in securing
evidence against Mrs. Russell. While
the woman was in jail she was called to
the telephone to talk with her attorney.
She discussed the case with the person
whom she supposed was her lawyer,
which, it was afterwards represented in
court, was the states attorney. When
these facts came out in court Judge
Bailey roundlv scored the prosecutor.
Before the date was fixed for the
second trial Judge Bailey appointed
James O'Neill, of Clark County, to pros
ecute the case instead of Mr.. FraWley.
