fit by the tickets should not forget that the

any late comers being seated during the
progress of the first act. All the available
standing room will be sold early and tardy
theatergoers will therefore stand a poor
show of getting a sight over the heads of the
crowd of the beautiful first act in the Old
French theater. Mr.. Mansfield has en-
forced this rule in New York. Chicago and

MRS. GEORGE INDICTED.
VIII BE Tried for Numbering George
ID. SaXtOn at Canton.

CANTON, o., Jan. 19.-The grand jury to-
day returned true bin against Mrs Annie
e. George for numbering George D. Saxton
last October. The Indictment is for the first
degree and the penalty is death by electro
cution. Saxton was a brother of Mrs Will
liam Mckinley. The President and Mrs
Mckinley were called to Canton for the fu-
neral of Saxton. OF course, all the proceed
ings of the grand jury were secret. At the
coroners inquest it developed that no one
saw the shooting but circumatantial evil
dence indicated that on the night of Oct. 7
SaXton was shot as he was about to enter
the residence of Mrs. Eva A. Althouse,
widow of the late George Althouse Five
shots were fired, three taking effect SaXton
died before any physician could reach him,
According to current reports, Saxton had
changed his affections from Mrs. George to
Mrs Althouse. There were circumstances
to justify the arrest of Mrs. George on sus-
picion few hours after the murder. After
ward evidence was secured before the coro-
ner showing that Saxton had not only quit
his association with Mrs George. but had
also attempted to eject her from the rooms
she occupied in the SaXton block. Witnesses
testified to threats that Mrs. George had
made because, as she charged, SaXton had
deserted her for Mrs Althouse after he paid
the expenses of Mrs George in getting a
Dakota divorce. Witnesses also testified to
Mrs George securing Il revolver and being
seen leaving a street car near the Althouse
residence just short time before the shoot
ing was heard. AS Mrs. A1thouse was not at
home that night. it was even conjectured
that Mrs. George had sent the victim a de-
coy letter for him to call that evening at a
certain hour, so that the shooting might be
done at the threshold of the rival A pre-
liminary hearing here last October created
much comment and excitement and now

with the life of Saxton (whO was a wealthy
bachelor) and his associates will come out
