ST am the wife of minister About
three years ago a warm friend, an eX-
emplary mother and the conscientious
wife of a minister, asked me if 1 had
ever tried giving UP coffee and using
the Postum Food Coffee. 1 had been
telling her of my excessive nervousness
and iIl-health. She said: We drink
nothing else for breakfast but Postum
Food Coffee, and it is a delight and a
comfort 10 have something that we do
not have to refuse the children when
they ask fer it
II was surprised that she would per-
nit the children to drinl. even the food
coffee, but she explained that it was
a most healthful beverage and that the
children thrived it. A very Little

LILY IS FOUND Guilty
TRIAL. OF THE MAN WHO SHOT
HIS WIFE LASTED ONLY
TWO HOURS
HIS WIFE's INFIDELITY
That Was the OnIy Defense offered
for the Shooting by the Pris-
Oner-Sentence Is De-
ferreL.

Buoyed UP with the hope that wife 8
perfidy would mitigate the punishment
for his attempt to kill her and compan-
ion: Fred J. Lilly in the district court yes
terday- faced a jury of twelve men tried
and true, and saw his hopes blasted when
the clerk read a slip of paper handed
him by the foreman, guilty as charged
in the Indictment"
The color left his flushed face as the
import of the virdict dawned upon him
and he sank back into his cahir trem-
bling. His wife and her companion,
Della Feige, who had also felt the eff
fects of Lilly's weapon, sat opposite him,
and when the verdict was read, craned
their necks in an endeavor to see what
effect it had upon him. The wife smiled
as she turned to her companion and made
a remark, which others could not hear
The trial, under the two indictments
charging him with assault in the first de-
gree in murderous attempt on the
lives of his wife and Della Feige, was
held before Judge Bum and jury, in
the district court, and only occupied
about two hours.
Judge Egan appeared for Lilly, but he
offered little defense IN behalf of his
client, beyond to dwell on the fact of the
wifes unfaithfuIness and its effect upon
Iillys highly imaginative nature. Lilly
was the only witness called, an appeal to
the jury concluding the work of the de-
Tense.
Mrs. Lilly, now divorced, first took the
stand, and despite the caution of the
prosecutor to speak slow and be more
concise ratified off her story at rate
that kept the official stenographer busy.
Her talk was literally sprinkled with
''he says and L told him. the import
of which was that she had refused to re-
main with him any longer, unless he
quit drinking and became better man.
She told the story of their meeting at
Minneapolis, and the dramatic close,
when at the California wine house, her
husband drew a revolver and shot her
and Della Feige.
Della Feige, who also felt the effects
of LilIy's revolver, was called, but her
story was simply repetition of that
Of Mrs. Lilly.
LILLY TELLS HIS STORY.
During all this time Lilly sat an in
terested listener of the testimony given
by the two women, and on several oc-
casions started up as if to question
statement made. He consulted his at
torney frequently, and was clearly agi-
tated When his time came to testify
he mounted the stand with a quick step
and, turning to the jury, SAID: Gentle
men, 1 am going to tell you the whole
truth. SO help me God Launching into
his story with little Introduction, he be-
gan the story of his wife's misdoings,
her open flautn:ng of the same in his
face, and the fact that he believed Della
F'eige was the instigator of it all. When
he reached Minneapolis on the day OF
the shooting. he found his wife sailing
under the alias of Foster, which she
admitted, and called him to account fer,
when later In the day he introduced her
to a gentleman friend as my wife, Mrs.
Lilly" His contempt for Della Feige,
he said, angered his wife and she tried
