door locked, summoned Policeman

unconscious, and an empty vial, labelled
him. on a table near by the policeman

to Roosevelt Hospital In an ambulance,
where the doctors continued laboring
over the would-be suicide.

PLEA OF GUILTY IGNORED.
Court Discharged n Chicago Barber
Arraigned for Murder.

Wy associhteo Tress-
CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-After pleading
guilty to a charge OF murder, Granville
N. Hackley was discharged last
evening by Judge Chetlin. The Court
directed that a nolle pros. be en-
tered, and Hackley walked out Of
court free. Hackiey. who was a barber
in a shop on State street. cut Aaron B.
Bright. another barber, on the arm with
a razor. Bright was taken to hospital
and died.
When the case was called Hackley
entered a plea Of guilty. Judge Chetlin
said the evidence showed that Hackley
had acted in self defense. Bright was
shown to have threatened to kill Hack
ley, and, the day of the tragedy he
entered the barber shop in order to at.
tack Hackley. The Court learned that
Bright bled to death, and that no proper
effort was made to stop the flow OF
blood after Hackley cut him.
The Court held that there was lacking
all the elements which go to sustain a
charge OF murder, and that despite the
plea of the prisoner the Court could
not punish him.

their leader. She is "A small and why,
but a very energetic woman.
She advanced to the gate OF Heddens
factory and asked for admission. HAM
Strauch told her TO go away. but she re-
fused, and, when he opened the gate to
reason with her. slapped his face He
forcibly elected her then, and this made
the strikers angry.
