SEATTLE JURORS
ACQUIT MITCHELL
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER IN
KILLING CREFFIELD
Verdict Greeted With Applause In the
Court Room and People Crowd
Around the Young Avenger
to Greet Him
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 10.-It took
the jury in the trial of George Mitchell
just one hour and twenty minutes ito
determine that the youth was not
guilty of murder in killing Franz Cref-
field on the streets of Seattle May Z
last.
The verdict was read at a quarter to
3 o'clock this afternoon and was greet
ed with rounds of applause from the
excited audience.
Every face assumed a happy express
sion and many women were hysterical-
ly weeping through their smiles when
the verdict was read. A few minutes
later the prisoner was discharged from
the custody of the sheriff.
He shook hands with the jurors and
was then treated to a general ovation.
Men and women crowded up close to
the rail to shake hands with the youth
who was clearly the hero of the hour.
AS he went downstairs to the Jail to
gather up a few of his effects and bid
farewell to the jailors and fellow pris-
oners of the last few months his way
was blocked by people eagerly crowding
over the bannisterS to catch glimpse
of the acquitted youth.
Asked as to his feelingS in regard to
the killing and as to the ordeal which
had thus suddenly terminated, the
young man replied that when he killed
Creffield he hardly knew what he was
doing, so worked up had he become by
the wrongs he and his sisters had suf-
fered.. He stated that he could not yet
regret that he had removed the man
from the possibility of harming his
family.
Mitchell will leave tomorrow fol
Portland, where he will probably re-
sumo a position in a mill which he held
previous to the killing of Creffield.

ORDER Of PENOO
TORN BY DISCORD
Or. S. B. M0LIN CHARGED
WITH THREATS TO KILL
Election Of Medical Examiners Said
to Be Responsible for III Feel
ing Between Accused and
Or. Vaughan

In the ranks of the order OF Pendo,
an insurance company which has been
operating in the west for few months,
dscord which threatens to disrupt the
organization is said to exist.
DR.. E. LeGrand Vaughan, who occu-
pied the position of supreme medical
examiner until the election Monday
afternoon. has filed complaint against
DR.. S. B. Molin, supreme manager of
the Order of Pendo charging the latter
with threatening to kill him.
A warrant was issued for DR.. Molin's
arrest yesterday afternoon, and last
evening about 10 o'clock he was ar
rested at his home at 225 West
Eighteenth street, by Detective Ritch.
He Immediately filed a cash bond of
$500 with Judge Rose at the home of
the latter and was released.
In a statement made by DIR. Vaughan
yesterday he made the assertion that
Molin called him up on the telephone
and threatened to kill him as the result
of an exposure which DR.. Vaughan
made at the meeting of the supreme
council of Pendo which convened yes
terday.
Tells Of Charges
Dr. Vaughan further stated that the
charges which he made against Molin
consisted of statements to the effect
that Molin approached him a few weeks
ago when he CDR. Vaughan) occupied
the position of supreme medical ex-
aminer, and told him to pass every ap-
plicant for membership with a perfect
medical test.
Directly contradictory to the asser-
tion of DR.. Vaughan is the statement of
Molin that when he allowed Vaughan
to examine the applicants he instructed
Vaughan to examine carefully every
applicant and to turn down every one
who did not come up to the require
ments,
The grievance of Vaughan as stated
by a third person who Is acquainted
with the facts was that Molin had
promised that Vaughan should have
the position of supreme medical ex-
aminer when the triennial election took
place yesterday. Instead of doing this
Molin allowed another physician to be
appointed.
Would Revoke Charter
The election of the other doctor was
due to the personal unpopularity of
Vaughan among the members, it is
said. Vaughan was said to have stated
that he would have the charter of the
Oruer OIL Henuo III CdlIorHld reNoheu
unless he was treated with more re-
spect.
The trial of Molin on the charge of
making threats over the telephone to
kill Vaughan will take place today.
Vaughan also stated that Molin went
to his *office yesterday afternoon at 2
o clock prepared to carry out his al
legged threat of killing Vaughan.
Molin asserts that he has at least
three witnesses that ne was not outside
of his home from a. m, yesterday to
3 p. m.
Many interesting revelations of high
finance among the minor insurance or
CARNATIONS will be brought to light to-
day when the trial of DR.. Molin takes
place. it is believed. Charges and coun-
ter charges will be numerous, it Is
said by persons in position to know
the inside workings of the order.
