DID NOT KILL WIFE
SAYS MAN AND BRIDE

Clinton, ILL.,, July 31.--That they haye
been crucified on the cross of love:
made victims Of the evil tongue Of
hypocrites, and that they are innocent
OF the murder Of Mrs. Pet Magill, is
the story told in Jail today by Fred
Magill and his young wife, Faye Gra-
ham, who are held to answer the
charge of numbering the bankers first
wife in order that they might be free
to wed each other.
Facing a practical certainty of in
dictment for murder; shrinking timid-
ly from the finger of shame pointed at
them by those who had known them
since they were boy and girl, the cou-
pie still maintain courage, composure
and even cheerfulness.
The father and mother of Mrs. Ma
gill were first to call on the prisoners.
The meeting between mother and
daughter was in keeping with the
girls strange character. She kissed
her mother and said calmly:
Mother, / am innocent We did
wrong to get married so soon after
Pet died, that is ALL"
Mr. Graham kissed his daughter and
told her he would help her all he could.
Magill said:
Says Il Was Suicide.
II have only one story to tell, and
never have told any other. My wife
killed herself, as can be shown in a
hundred ways. Why, cannot be sure.
but In letters she gives the only rea-
son accept-that she did not care
to live under the conditions n, of i'll
health and interfering relatives
She had been complaining Of her
head the Decoration day that Faye
and drove to the cemetery to put
some flowers on the baby's grave. She
did not go out until we got back. Then
we all went riding until p. m. We
sat around or talked until 10 or so.
Faye went home and we went to bed.
About a. m. / got up and found
my wife gone. looked for her on the
cot where she sometimes slept, but did
not find her. then went upstairs and
saw her lying on the bed with a bowl
filled with chloroform in the crook Of
her elbow. did not know whether she
was dead, 50 / ran to get water, and
washed her face. Then I called the
doctors and told Marguerite to call
Faye.
"As true as I stand here, am inno-
cent, and this girl Is more innocent
than !. We are the victims of gos-
lsipers and scandalmongers. Until my
wife died, Faye and I were no more
than friends"

time in getting away. -.
There was plenty OF evidence showing
that the burglars had been to the

After defining the degrees OF MUIR
der the Judge said: &
IT further instruct you that while
proof has been admitted OF the COM
mission OF other crimes by the defend
ant and his associates II has only been
the existence Of a conspiracy to ac-
complish certain objects, that such
crimes and the crime resulting In the
death Of Steunenberg as well. were all
incidents Of such conspiracy; but you
must not forget that the defendant is
being tried for the murder Of Steunen-
berg and for that crime alone. You
are. however. privileged to take such
other matters into consideration as part
OF the evidence In this case, and as
Inciderits and circumstances bearing
upon the question OF his guilt upon the
charge of murder Of Steunenberg.
Conspiracy Defined.
1T makes no difference. however, in
this case what crimes have been COM
mitted in Colorado. in the Coeur
d'Alenes or elsewhere, or who is respon-
sible for the commission Of such crimes,
IL any there be. The defendant cannot
be convicted unless the state has estab-
lished beyond reasonable doubt that
he Is guilty Of the felonious killing Of
Steunenberg."
The Judge then defined conspiracy,
within the meaning Of the criminal
law, and said:
OF conspiracy that there should be
a formal agreement among the par
ties to do the act charged. It Is suf-
hcient II the minds Of the parties meet
understandingly, so as to bring about
an Intelligent and deliberate agree
Tnent to do such acts and commit the
crimes charged, although such agree
ment be not manifested by any formal
words.
"If the prosecution has failed to
prove these facts beyond a reasonable
doubt, you should find the defendant
not guilty. II, however, you believe
In this case from the evidence beyond
reasonable doubt that the defendant
Haywood aided. abetted, or advised
and encouraged the killing Of Steunen-
berg, then the defendant is guilty, and
1t would be immaterial whether he was
actually present at the time Of the
killing"
The jury is directed to disre-
gard Harry Orchards testimony
unless 1t Is corroborated by other
evidence. Under the laws Of
Idaho, a person cannot be con-
v1cted upon testimony Of an ac-
complice unless such testimony is
corroborated by evidence Of a
different character to the same
point.
The Judge said:
Under the Indictment, Haywood. II
the evidence warrants It, should be
convicted OF murder in the first degree
