to the court room. The prisoner was
brought in and took her place in the
dock and the verdict was rendered as
reported. The woman so lately accus-
ed of such a hcinous crime rushed over
to where her senior counsel, Mr.. Heath,
was seated and threw her arms about

gratefulness upon his cheek. The
members of the jury listened to a short
speech of thanks from Judge Peabody

down the narrow aisle to where Mrs.

San Francisco. April 22.-There are
no hungry people tonight. The gaunt
spectre of starvation has been banish-
ed by the magnificent response of the
people Of California and of the entire
nation to the appeals that went out
for assistance. Food by the carload
and boatload poured into Oakland last
night and today in sufficient quanti-
ties to oVerWhelm the committee which
has in charge the distribution. SO
great was the volume of foodStuffs
brought into the general depot at oak
land, that the general committee today
made an appeal for skilled labor in
the handling of these supplies.
Groccrs, butchers and commission men
have been requested to secure men
who are familiar with the handling of
foodstuffs in order that the distribu-
ton at the scores of stations eStab-
lished might go on without confusion.
The homeless people are no longer
obliged to Subsist upon bread and
canned stuff entirely as they have
been during the previous days of their
trying experiences, but We're today Civ
en- hot coffee, meats and evening cakes
and oranges. Oranges have come in
plentiful supply from southern Cali
fornia and the sight Of California s
famous product was everywhere hail
ed with delight
While the supply is abundant at this
time, it is well for the public to re-
member that the homeless thousands
must be fed and cared for by the or
ganized relief committees for an in
definite period. II is desired therefore
that contributions be continued every
