PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Both MagilIs Answer to Murder
Charges in Dewitt County
Circuit Court.
DGESUsTAlNS INDICTMENTS
Prisoners Composed Under Trying Sit
uation - Move for Speedy
Trial.

Clinton, H., Aug. 3.-Fred II. Magill
and his wife. Faye Graham Magill,
plead not guilty to the charge of muir
Gering Pet" Gondy Masill, the former
wife of Fred Magill, in the circuit court
esterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
This climax of all the dramatic events
which have transpired here since the
death of Mrs. Pet Magill on the night
of May 80 was reached thus in the De
Witt county court room before Judge
w. G. Cochran. 1t followed an earnest
plea for an immediate trial by r. A.
Lemon, chief counsel for the Magils
II was the first public appearance of
the Magills since they were arrested in
! California. They sat close together,
the man chewing gum with the precis.
ion and regularity of a piston rod, gaZ-
irg up at the ceiling with his dull blue
eyes, and the woman quiet and alert,
with thin, set lips and flashing eyes,
her cheeks paling and reddening alter
nately.
Prisoners Are Firm.
Behind the prisoners and groups OF
and the defense were the tense faces
| of Magilrs old friends and acquaint-
ances. They mostly were farmers,
with here and there business man
or a listening. watching woman, but
as Magill and his wife pleaded TO the
/ iirdictment there was nothing but as
sUrance and defiance in their voices.
No couple ever seemed to feel more
sure of acQuittal but the evidence
against them is said to be piling up,
and the trial will be one filled with
deep interest and dramatic features.
Its like may never be witnessed in an
Illinois court again.
The special grand jury made its re-
port on the Magill case at l o'clock in
the morning. The two true bills re
turned were identical. Each covered
nine typewriter pages. The same
crime was charged against both the
man and the girl.
Court UphoIds states Charges.
At the afternoon session Judge Coch,
ran ordered the prisoners to appear
but Attorney Lemon served notice OF
a motion to quash the indictment on
technical grounds.
Attorney Lemon asked that the in
dictment be quashed on the grounds
that each defendant was charged with
six indictments, that they were not
properly witnessed. and did not specify
murder as against a human being and
the DCacp of the peODle.
The last count, he declared. was toe
general. Attorney John Fuller also
presented arguments to quash. Special
Prosecuting Attorney Lot r. Herrich
came back with authorities refuting
Mr.. Lemons arguments, but the judge
was not satisfied. He was prevailed
upon, however. to decide at once, anG
after the reading of authorities he de
MED the motion made by Attorney
Lemon. and declared the indictments
good with the exception of the last
lcount 1t was held not material by the
state.
| Prisoners show No Emotion.

WinkIeman's Position.

Hon. g. Nj. Winkleman was in town
the past week and while here express
sed himself quite freely concer ming
the way the democratic papers had
mended him for his so-called kick
ing over the party traces in bis course
in the Legislature which has just adj
journed. Mr.. Winklemen said: l
am, above all things, a republican,
and / want everybody to know that
in my independent course in the leg
islature | had the support of every
member of the Carbon county dele
cation. We we're in accord in all
things and l received most substantial
support and encouragement from my
co-workers. This singing me out
and making much of my actions is
very distasteful to me and is entirely
without my concent or c%onnivance. l
don't know what the democratic
papers expect to gain by such work,
for they certainly will receive no con
sideration at my hands for making me
such a conspicuous object and at
tempting to array me against my
party. They will find that / am too
strong a republican to be caught by
any such chat. Well do | know the
object of this fulsome hattery. 1t is
simply to stir up strife and dissension
in the party-but it will not avail
them anything as they will see when
another election comes around"
MI. Winkleman is too sensible IA
"A man to allow a little fulsome praise
to turn his head or affect his actions
in the future. He is "a republican and
acts entirely from republican princi-
pies. He made a most excellent re-
cord in the last Legislature and it is
to be hoped that he will De sent there

The cross examination of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw by Jerome reminds one
of a kitten in a barrel beseiged by a
bull pup. Poor Evelyn! She has
never for a moment denied the life of
shame she led after Stanford White
debauched her and drug her into the
pit. Jerome cannot possibly gain
anything by the course he has taken
and he has shown himself to be a
heartless brute not one whit removed
from White in brutality. 1t is ex-
ceedingly strange that a court of JUS
tice should be the scene of such rank,
outrageous injustice as is being per
petrated on Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in
the present instance. Why stould a
lawyer in cross examining a witness
have leave to badger and browbeat
him or her into a fit of Mysteries or
insanity? For hours and hours-and
even days, a lawyer is permitted, in
cross examining IA witness, to go over
the same questions hundreds of times.
1t is a form of inquisition that should
be either abolished altogether, or so
modified that it cannot be abused.
