uNeER AND BROWN GUILTY.
Defenbach Case Ends in Victory for
State.

State.
Chicago, June 11.-Dr. August M.
finger and f. Wayland Brown on trial
for conspiracy to defraud insurance
companies though the death OF Marie
Defenbach were last evening found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentl-
ary under the indeterminate act.
Frank H. Smiley, who was indicted
with Unger and Brown, pleaded guilty
and turned states evidence. It is like
" he will escape with a slight sen
tence.
Evidence in the case showed that
Unger, Brown, Smiley and Miss Deten-
ach entered into a conspiracy by
which Smiley was to appear as the
afianced husband of the woman. She
was then to be i'll and apparently die,
leaving insurance which aggregated
$4,000. The woman in her will said
she desired her remains be cremated
and it is supposed it was the intention
to hurry her away after the supposed
death and cremate another body pro
cured from the hospital.
The woman became i'll, according to
the program, but did not rally and
died. The body was at once cremated.
An inquest was held by Assistant
Coroner Weckler without jury and
Weckler returned to the coroner's Of
flee a vedict that the woman died OF
natural causes. The death of the wo-
man was shrouded in mystery and
physicians on the stand differed wide
Iy as to the cause OF death. The state,
however, declared that the woman
was murdered although it could not be
positively proved. 1t was shown that
all the insurance carried by the Wo-
man was assigned before her death
and that her will was drawn up after
these assignments had been made.
The will has no effect save in clause
touching the cremation and it IS
claimed by the state that the will was
prepared only to facilitate the DISPOSE
ton of the body after death.

FEELING MORE HOPEFUL.
President and Physicians Now More
Cheerful

Washington, June 9.-Dr. Rixey left
the white house at 11:2O last night
after visit that extended over two
hours. He said: Mrs. McKinley's
condition is about the same as report
ed in the morning bulletin. She
rested comfortably today. There has
been no material change though
possibly there has been barely per-
ceptible improvement. She is now
sleeping soundly." The feeling at the
white house last night was a little
more hopeful as to the outcome. The
fact that Mrs, Mckinley has been rest
ing much better than usual in the past
few days has been an important factor
in fighting the disease.

A Great Success.

The Memorial Day picnic given by
the A. o. U. W. of this city was a
great success and surpassed the expec-
tations of the order. The steamer H.
X. Bedford made a trip each hour and
the boat was always well filled with
picnickers. Probably two thousand
people visited the grounds during the
day. Among the guests were members
of the order from towns as far up as
Wheeling. The Marietta orchestra
furnished music for the occasion.
Since this picnic has been so success
full it is the intention of the order to
hold one each year.

IT WASN'T VERY PLEASANT
But All the Old Sinners Were Fined Just
the Same.

AS a continuance of his crusade
against the proprietors of gambling re-
sorts and houses of i'll fame, Mayor
Sykes held court yesterday morning
and administered good stiff fines to the
recalcitrants against the law. and good
morals of the community.
The three girls, Maud Noll. Blanche
Stage and Anna Mahoney, who were
found at Chas. Hendershot's place,
were each given fines of $40 and costs.
which they were unable to pay and
were therefore sent back to board
them out.
Charles Howard also appeared to
settle for his offences against several
municipal laws. On the promise OF
conducting his place in an orderly
manner and abating the nuisance
which the resort has been. Howard
was fined $40 and costs, which he paid
and was released.
Chas. Hendershot, however, felt the
strong arm of the law descend on him
with considerable violence, as his no.
torious joint at the corner of Third
and Ohio streets has long been an eye
sore to the police. He was fined SAC
and costs, which he is paying on the
installment plan, as that is conven-
lent way to settle.
The Mayor announces his determin'
alton to bring all these hardened and
shameless violators of the law before
the judicial bench of the city for trial
and punishment.
The office No. OF the Flag Grocery
is located at S12 Wayne street, where

was deemed compensation for the lost
garment was offered him, but he pre-

where he sued Mr.. Mills to recover rs
cents. He was nonsuited, and then he
carried the case UP to the higher
courts, and now the appellate term of
the supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court. 1t has
cost the litigious plaintiff the price of
several dozen undershirts.
