MAGILl And His
BRIDE INDICTED
CHARGED WITH CAUSING DEATH
OF THE sANkER's FIRST
WIFE.
SIX COUNTS AGAINST each.
CROWDS FOLLOW THE PRls
oNERs IN THEIR WALK TO
THE JAIL.

Clinton, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-The grand jury
which has been investigating into the
death of Mrs. Pet Magill, the first wife
of Fred Magill, banker, who with his
second wife is in Jail here, having been
brought back from California to an
swer the charge of having caused the
death of Mrs. Pet Magill, yesterday
returned one indictment against Ma.
gill and one indictment against Mrs.
Faye Graham Magill.
The indictments were exactly alike,
each containing six distinct counts.
The six counts in each are as follows:
That Mrs. Pet Magill was murdered
by the administration of strychnine
poison; that the murder was done by
arsenic; that she was smothered with
quilt; that she was strangled to
death by chloroform; that she commit
ted suicide as the result of compact
and agreement with the defendants
and by their advice and counsel; that
her death was caused by the defend
ants, by some means unknown to the
grand jury.
Followed by Crowd.
Magill and his bride of four weeks
were in the crowded court room when
the indictments were returned.
AS soon as the indictments were
filed the prisoners were hurried out of
the court room and locked in an ante
room with the sher1ff's wife, where
they remained until court took re.
cess. AS the prisoners, escorted by
the sheriff and his wife, came out of
the court house thousand men, wom-
en- and children surrounded them,
eager to see Magill and his wife. Sew
eral men called out, Hello, Fred!" to
which Magill replied, but neither of
the prisoners paid much attention to
the crowd that followed them during
their walk of five blocks to the Jail.
Ask Early Trial.
During the afternoon session Judge
Cochran sustained motion to quash
the sixth count of both indictments.
He overruled the motion to quash the
other indictments, holding that they
were good.
The defense Immediately filed mo:
ton to consolidate the two cases, so
that both husband and wife would be
tried together, and the court took this
under advisement.
The defense then asked that the
cases be set for trial as speedily as
possible, and Judge Cochran announc.
ed that Nov. 9 would be the earliest
possible date, but after considerable
argument of this subject the judge ad.
journed court until to-day, when he
will decide whether the trials shall be-
gin next week or in November.
The defendants were then arraigned
and pleaded not guilty.

In their haste to reach shelter.
Shot in Own Doorways.
The Hop Sing longs chased their
victims into their own doorways and
shot them down. Then, casting away
their guns, the strange visitors ran
through the Chinese quarter, most of
them escaping the police.
Immediately after the shooting one
of the Hop Sing Tong men from New
York was captured as he was running
away. He gave the name of MIN Sing.
Later Hong Woon of New York, whose
hands were powder stained, was taken
into custody. Both prisoners are
charged with manslaughter.
Fifty Shots Were Fired.
The police arrested seven other
Cinnamon on suspicion, who are stran.
gers in the local colony. The shooting
occurred in Oxford place, in the center
of Chinatown. Fully fifty shots were
fired.
The trouble is attributed to the

ment for preserving peace and order
on the iron range was outlined in a
proclamation issued by Gov. Johnson
yesterday. The governor makes it
clear that any intimidation or at
tempts to prevent those who desire
from working in the mines, or any
trespassing on private property, will
be met with the calling out of the
troops. On the other hand, the gov.
ernor wants it understood that the
miners have a perfect right as citi'
zens to meet in public halls to discuss
the situation, and while parading will
not be tolerated, ordinary groups of
strikers are to be allowed on the pub.
lie streets and highways without mo.
lestation.
Committee Reports.
The governors action in issuing the
strike proclamation was largely based
on the report of the investigating COM
mittee appointed by him to investigate
the situation. The committee, con.
sisting of T. D. O'Brien, Harvey Grim.
mer and c. H. Day, spent day on the
ranges and obtained the views of the
strikers and disinterested citizens on
the situation. The general feeling
! seemed to be that the strike would be
a peaceful one. despite the fact that
Petriella, the strike leader, had in.
structed the strikers to use violence
if necessary to prevent interruption of
their meetings.
Believe End Is Near.
Duluth, Aug. 3. - While disquieting
| reports are constantly being sent in
from towns on the Mesaba range
there is general feeling in Duluth
that the end of the struggle is near at
hand, and that inside of a week or
eight days everything will be moving
along with accustomed regularity.
Heavily loaded ore trains came down
all day yesterday to the docks at Two
Harbors, Oneota and Allouez. The
fact that tho ore dock strike has been
ended paves the way for the end of the
miners strike, for as long as the cor.
poration is able to ship ore it is not
believed there will be any further in.

Has salutary Effect.
The PRONUNCIATION Of Gov. Johnson's
proclamation, according to advices re-
ceived from the range towns, has had
a salutary effect, and the strikers
most Of them at least, are firmly con.
WINGED that If the rules as laid down
by the states chief executive are will
fully violated by them, the governor
will keep his word and send the troops
there Immediately. Arrangements
have been made whereby two local

STRIKE on

by Petriella, the strike leader, in
which, while counseling peace, he ad,
vocated the use of guns to maintain
what he said was their right to sell
their labor where they could to the
best advantage.
Advises Violence.

This was made clear to them whel.
they attempted to march from Hib-
bling to the meeting at Chisholm,
where Petriella made his violent
speech. Otherwise the officials will
handle them gently in order that there
may be no pretext for a clash.
Reports received here yesterday in.
dictate that mining operations were re-
sumed heavily in both Hibbing and
Eveleth districts. Thomas D. O'Brien,
former state insurance commissioner,

to Gov. Johnson, who visited the range
towns yesterday as personal represent
atives of the governor, returned to Du.

succeeded in getting each side to
