ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Jury Exonerates Young Girl Who
Killed Lover.

Wheaton, Mimi, July Sat z p. M,
less than an hour after it had retired
to decide her fate, the jury returned a
verdict finding Antoinette Seiden-
sticker not guilty of the murder of
Herman Schipp, the nineteen-year-old
boy she was accused with having slain
after he had betrayed and deserted
her. The verdict is taken rather as
the jury's vote that the crime was
justifable than that she did not kill
the young man, for it is alleged that
she has admitted the murder.
Childish to the end the thirteen
year-old lass rushed to her attorney
and entwinedsher arms about his neck
in her joy when she heard the verdict
that meant freedom and left the court
room with her arm about her fathers
waist.

He took out the letters reverently and looked
over them, now and then mur1nuring below his

writing out what he never could have told to her,

dead and gone generations of stern repressed fore
fathers laid their unyieding fingers of reserve on
his lips and the shyness of dreamy, book-bred
youth stemmed the language of eye and tone.

though YOU know it not, surely such love will
hover around you all your life, like an invisible
