Especial to Lake County Times.)
Chicago. Nov. 16.-There was a SEN
sation in the courtroom of Judge KAY
anaugh this morning when the trial OF
Lucille McLeod-Memhard was opened
The young womans mother was barred
from the room. and the bride was left
alone to face the jury which holds her
life in its hands.
In a clash between the attorneys
Judge Kavanaugh interviewed and final
~ ordered Mrs Mcleod to leave the
side of the pretty defendant. The bride
bowed her head as her mother was
escorted from the courtroom. but a
few minutes later she raised it to
glance at the jurymen.
1t was the first time that Lucille had
been separated from her mother from
the time that she was found danger
ously wounded in the Empire hotel be-
side the dead body of Nieman, whom
she is accused Of shooting.
When Mrs. Mcleod entered the
courtroom she was wrapped in a seal
skin coat and wore close fitting dark
tailor-made suit. Her face was COW
cred Assistant States Attorney
Grove rose to interpose an objection to
her presence.
i ask that Mrs. Mcleod be exclud-
ed from the room. She is an important
witness for the defense" said the pros
ecutor
If Mrs. Mcleod is to be excluded
then I insist that Walter Nieman, the
brother of the dead man, be ordered to
leave his seat in front of the jury"
said Attorney Patrick II. O'Donnell of
counsel for the defense
+All witnesses must leave the court
room until they are called to testify"
Judge Kavanaugh ruled. after both
lawyers had made arguments protest
ing against the order of exclusion.
Before a crowded courtroom the
opening statements to the jury were
made, and sensational charges against
the character of both the accused girl
and the man she is charged with muir
dering were uttered.
Here are the accusations made
against Lucille Mcleod in the States
opinion:
That she was a dancing girl, and
had been involved in many escapades
before she met Nieman.
That she murdered Nieman after
having bounded him for months.
That she followed the man like a
Nemesis for months before the En-
pire hotel tragedy
That she had written threatening
letters to Nieman advising him to jump
in the lake.
! To Offset the charges of the State
Attorney O'Donnell made the follow
| ing accusations against the man who
was slain:
! That Lucille Mcleod was a pure girl
until she met Nieman.
That Nteman was a "masher," and
forced his attentions on the girl at the
Coliseum skating-ring, and finally
gained permission to become her es-
cort.
That Lucille Mcleod became the fan
Gee of Nieman in June, 1904. and that
the girls mother consented to their
marriage.
That Nieman gave the girl written
promise of marriage.
That he insisted on postponing the
marriage, and finally took the girl to
Milwaukee, and posed as her husband
after their return.

Lawrence McTurnan, assistant state
superintendent of schools, visited the

made a special comment upon the

He thinks the work in reading is
receiving special attention, and that
the plan of having the pupils of the
reading classes asking other pupils of
the class on % pronunciation of
words, 90 meaning Of words in the Sc
lections, (3) the thought of the selec-
ton, and 90 purpose of lesson. is
highly commendable, and that he would
like to see other schools follow the ex-
ample shown here.
Superintendent McTurnan spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the untirlng efforts
shown upon the part Of the teachers TO
show the pupils the Importance of do
ing things thoroughly, saying that
when a pupil is taught to do his work
accurately he is fairly well prepared
for his Iife's work.
This afternoon superintendent Nc
Truman addressed the teachers upon
the following subject:
Training For Thoroughness and Ac-
curacy in Education"
Before leaving he expressed himself
satisfied with the work being done in
the schools, and that as good a system
was being introduced here as any
school he had yet inspected, and pre-
dicted bright future for any student
completing his high school course here.

Tribute of Respect.

Tribute of respect to the memory of
our beloved Bro. Will L. Dean, adopt
ed py the Woodstock Baptist church.
We, your committee appointed at
our last conference to draft suitable
resolutions relative to the life and
death of our Bro. viii L. Dean, submit
the following:
Whereas, it has pleased an all wise
Proyidence to remove by the hand of
death from our midst our brother, DIR.
Win l.. Dean, who had long been a
member of our church, and who by his
faithful service, genial disposition,
hlgh-toned moral conduct and noble
Christian spirit had greatly endeared
himself to the entire membership.
Therefore Ibe it resolved
1. We bow in humble submission to
the will of Him who worketh all things
together for good to them that love
him aud are called according to his
purpose.
2. We feel that in his death our
church has lost one of her most useful
members, who has served her with
faithfulness and efficiency both in the
ranks and in the official positions of
deacon, clerk and Sunday school super
intendent, that our community has
lost one of her best and most exempla-
~ citizens, whose voice and influence
was ever found on the side of truth and
righteousness, and that his family has
lost most faithful, wise and tender
husband and father whose every effort
was devoted to their welfare and nap
piness.::
3, We sextend to his family and to
his loving father and mother our ten
derest sympathy in this hour OF their
bereavement, and most.sincerely pray
that the memories of his useful life,
the consciousness of the love and es-
TEEN of his brethren, friends and neigh
bors, the consolation of the Divine
Spirit and the hopes of glorious i'm
mortality beyond the grave, may all
combine to give them peace and com.
fort.I
4. AS token Of our love for him and
our appreciation of mis- worth and USE
fulness, and as tribute of our tender
regard for his memory, it is ordered
that copy of these resolutions be
spread on the records of the Church :;
that a copy be furnished his family,
and that copy each be furnished the
Cherokee Advance and the Marietta
Journal with the request that they be
published.
