MOVES TO RELEASE
JOSEPHINE COLLETT
States Attorney Scott Brings Matter
Before Judge Gest, Who Post
poneS Action.

When the circuit court convened this
afternoon States Attorney Scott enter
ed a motion to nolle pros the indict-
ments against Josephine Collett. who
is held under the same charges as
William Nagle in connection with the
death of Carl Brady at Island B June
8, 1905. Action was postponed by
Judge Gest until Friday, when the mat
ter will be more fully considered. The
Collett woman has the same avenue of
escape from murder charges as Magic
was freed upon, and there seems to be
no other upon which to hold her in
view of the turn that the prosecution
of Maggie has taken.

c. w. Davies, the travelling man who

On the Gridiron.

Next in Importance to the feast, at
least from the viewpoint of many, will
be the football game between the Rock
Island and Bloomington high schools
at the Island City park. Bloomington
has one of the strong high school elev-
ems in the central part of the state,
and Rock Island will have chance to
measure up its prowess with teams
that have met the Boomers this fall.
1t will be the final contest of the sea
son for the local eleven. The contest
will begin at 3 o'clock.
In Moline, Davenport and Moline
high schools will struggle for the tri-
city championship, though Rock Island
admirers will not concede that either
team is actually better than Rock Is
land. Davenport outweighs Moline, but
judging by the scores against Rock Is
land will have little if any advantage.
The Rock Island Gun club will have
a shoot for turkeys at the range at the
Watch Tower in the afternoon.
At the Illinois theater 1.-The Show
Girl" is booked for matinee and even
ing performances, and it bids fair to
be an unusually good attraction. There
will be two afternoon and two evenin G
performances at the Crystal vaudeville
theater. The skating rink will also
draw many, and there will be a dance
at Armory hall in the afternoon.
The employees of the Rock Island and
Burlington railroads, with the excep-
ton of the ticket agent and operators
are all feeling cheerful knowing that
they will be given holiday tomorrow
All the local freight houses will be
closed and local freight trains annulled
Arrangements will be made to deliver

NAGLE NOT GUILTY
Surprising Verdict Returned by
Jury in Henry County Cir
cult Court.
TECHNICALLY IN THE WAY
Judges Instructions Appear to Have
Been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In
dctments Remain.

William Maggie was found not guilty
by the jury at Cambridge yesterday af-
ternoon of the crime of robbing Carl
Brady on Island B in the Mississippi
river on the night of June 8, 1905. The
verdict was reached in three hours, be-
ing reported TO Judge Graves at 5: 80
p. m.
Nobody was more dumbfOunded by
the finding than the attorneys for the
defense. When the jury was deliber-
ating, H. A. Weld and Adair Peasants,
counsel for the defense, took the after
noon train for Rock Island, after first
leaving in the hands of the clerk of
the court motion for a new trial, with
the instructions that it be filed as soon
as the verdict was rendered. But for
obvious reasons it was not necessary to
file the motion
The charge of robbery is as effectu
ally killed as that of murder was in
habeas corpus proceedings before the
state supreme court, and an
other important step in the liberation
of a man whom the world believes and
whom the evidence almost unquestion-
ably shows to have been guilty of one
of the most diabolical crimes ever com
mitted in Rock Island county, has been
taken

DAY FOR THANKS
Tomorrow Also the Day to Eat
Turkey for Those Who
Are Fortunate.
WILL BE OBSERVED HERE
Union Church Services Morning and
Evening-FootbaI and Other
Sports.

| Tomorrow is the day when those who
can afford to will eat turkey. Others
| less fortunate or with different tastes
will dine on goose, duck, chicken, or
plain spare ribs. Unfortunate indeed
will be those who are not able to have
some unusual article on the bill of fare,
for feasting is everywhere conceded to-
be the most appropriate way to cele-
brate Thanksgiving.
Home gatherings will be the order
tomorrow. Schools. colleges and uni
versities will generally have a short
vacation, and many of the students will
be home tonight or tomorrow morn
ing for the remainder of the week, and
all will gather round the groaning
board at home. Generally speaking, it
will be found if careful inventory of
the year is taken, that all will have
much to be thankful for.
In Rock Island, as usual, there will
be little business transacted. Stores
and factories will observe the day, as
will city and county Offices The post
office will be open till 10 a. m. only,
in the morning.

Other Charges Remain.

Nagle was not released, and will not
be. There are still several indictments
pending against him, and they will be
taken up in order Oh the severity of the
punishment, chances for conviction be-
ing considered. The next trial will be
for burglary in the night time while
armed and inflicting a wound. AS was
the case before the robbery charge was
brought to trial, States Attorney Scott
is confident of conviction. The case
will be taken up at Cambridge before
Judge Graves Monday. Dec. 10.
Yesterdays verdict furnishes another
example of the peculiar results that
often attend trial by jury. Failure 10
convict apparently resulted from a mis-
understanding on the part of the jury
of the instructions. Judge Graves made
it plain that it would be illegal to re
turn a verdict of guilty if it were found
that Brady was dead at the time the
alleged crime was committed.
Differed on Application.
From statements by jurors made af-
ter the finding was reported it is gath
cred that there was a division of opin-
ion as to the manner of applying the
instructions. The states evidence had
tended to show that Brady was uncOn-
sciOus at the time it was alleged his
clothing was rifled and he did not re-
cover before his slayer completed his
bloody work. Some of the jurors held
that the victim was virtually dead the
moment he lapsel into Inconsistencies,
and this view eventually prevailed and
had great weight in determining the
verdict. 1t seems, also, that the testi-
mony of Josephine Collett, the states
chief witness, was not given great
credence
