TWO HARD BLOWS
FOR PROSECUTION
IN MAGILL CASE
Sixth Letter of Pet
Alleged to Have Been
Found.
Noted Prosecutor With
draws His Assistance
From State.

CLINTON, Ill, July 2O.-The States
case against Frederick II. Magil and
Faye Graham Magill. arrested while on
their honeymoon charged with the muir
der OF Mrs. pet MagHl, and now be-
ing brought back to Clinton by Sherin
Campbell, was given two crushing blows
today when Attorney f. J. Sweeney an
nounced that he would have nothing 10
do with Il and n sixth letter written cy
pet" Magill was found.
Attorney Sweeney is noted in Central
Illinois as a prosecutor OF bulldog pug
nacity, and when States Attorney
Arthur Miller announced last night that
Sweeney had been engaged TO assist the
State in the prosecution of Magiil and
hts wife. people shook their heads and
said, TT locks bad for Fred Magill."
Today Attorney Sweeney notified Mr..
Miller that he could not assist him in
the prosecution Of the Magills. Mr..
Miller. while admitting that the refusal
of Mr.. Sweeney TO participate in the
case was a hard blow TO him, still main
tainec that the Magills would be held
TO the grand jury and that indictments
would be returned against them in Octo-
Der

discovered today. This letter was ad-
dressed TO Der father, Alexander Candy,

stroy herself and babe him good-by.
She also begged his forgiveness for the
step she was about 10 take. This letter

was destroyed by relatives here. If this
is true IL is another blow 10 the States
case. The defense claims that conclu-

as the attorneys for the Magills will
insist upon an Immediate hearing, the
moment the prisoners arrive and are

There is Just one possibility that the
Magills will not even be held TO the

TAYLoR.HALDWlN CASE.
. Bundle of Peculiar Circumstance
Involved in important insur-

anCe case.
The case of the Taylor BALDWIN
company, a mercantile concern located
at Garrison, this state, against the
Northwestern Fire and Marine lnsur-
anc of Minneapolis is being
argued this afternoon in Judge rem
pleton's court.
The case started at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and involves a bundle Oh
%neculiar circumstances caused by the
removal of the town of Garrison a
distance Of four. miles. The property
of the TAYLOR Baldwin company, To-
Gated at Garrison, was insured Tor
s.. 200, and in the policy was described
the property as located at the former
town of Garrison. When the town
moved the TAYLOR Baldwin company
also moved their property to the new
town and soon after the removal the
building was destroyed by fire.
1t was conceded this afternoon that
the plaintiff could not receive lnsur-
ance except on property described III
the policy, but it is also charged IN
the complaint that the company report
ed to their local agent that the polley
was cancelled after accepting a proof
of the loss caused by the fire and toI'
this reason refused settlement. On
top of this the argument also brought
out the fact that the fire was caused
by a defective gasoline plant and the
policy fcrbids the use of gasoline gen
Grated in the building.
The plaintiff conceded that on the
ground of the removal of property and
the fact that the property was destroy
ed by a gasoline plant, contrary to
the stipulation of the policy, there
would be no case, but from the fact
that the insurance company in its or
ignal hefusal did not take into con-
s%ideration these facts and refused pay
ment only on the grounds of the policy
being cancelled the plaintiff claims to
have a case and the argument is being
produced along the latter line.
w. A. Stanbaugh of Fargo appears
in behalf of the plaintiff while Attor.
ney Young, of the firm of Ball, Wat
son, Young and Hardy, under the in
struction of Charles Carothers, of
Minneapolis, who is assistant secre'

for the defendant.

The Bismarck Council gave $500
toward the support of their band
for the coming year. The Wash
burn boys are now wondering if a
little Of the surplus fund in the
commercial club here could aid
them in getting a leader. The
following is clipped from the Tri-
hume about the matter: The as
sistance rendered to the band by
the city council will meet with
general approval. With this con-
tinued aid the band will procure
much needed new instruments and
will continue to be a credit to the
city and please the people with its
excellent music.
