QUICKLY DECIDED
Jury in Case Against Bert Viii

o'clock, and by 5 o'clock had returned
its verdict.
The details OF this shocking case
were given in The Argus last evening.

witness in the case, and her story was
told with such sincerity and frankness
that its horrible truth was readily es-
tahlished in the minds of those who
heard her testimony.
Charges in Iowa.
Had Williams in some manner been
discharged here on the charge of alb
ductiOn, he would still have to defend
himself on a criminal charge because
of the facts on which this case was
based, for the girls father at the time
Williams was arrested filed charges of
rape at Burlington, where the alleged
|offense was committed.
Gravel Trial Begun.

The Adventures of a Manuscript

To the June McClure's Henry c. Row
land contributes story, "Shiraz," that
is remarkable in more ways than one.
1t is an appealing tale of a small Amer.
lean boy the son of brilliant portrait
painter. Born in Persia, his mother
died soon after his birth and he trailed
all over Asia with his father. 'Shiraz"
became versed in the ways of orientals,
spoke their dialects, and because of the
constant strain and anxiety and the
undue responsibility of looking after his
bibulous father, he acquired strange
prematurity of face and speech He is as
odd yonngster and as lovable one as
recent fiction has portrayed.
Curiously enough the manuscript of
"Shiraz" had strange and international
experiences also. The story was bought
by McClure's some four years ago. A
little later the manuscript was lost. On
November H. 1905, it was found lying
on the sidewalk on Lexington Avenue.
The finder addressed it 10 Mr. Rowland
and it was forwarded to the author at
his residence in Paris. He, in turn, sent
it back to McClure's with an explain
atory note in the early part Of 1907, and
it was Immediately put in galleys and
