WIFE INDICTED
Grand Jury at Clinton, ILL.,, Re-
turns a Somewhat Remark
able Verdict.
MODE OF DEATH UNCERTAIN
CONSEQUENTLY THERE ARE
SEVERAL GUESSES.

Clinton. H.. Aug. 2.-The grand jury
that is investigating the death of Mrs.
Pet MagiH. the first wife of Fred Ma
gill, who with his second wife, is in
Jail here, having been brought back
from California to answer to the
charge of having caused the death of
Mrs. Pet Magill, today returned one
indictment against Magill and one in
dictment against Mrs. Fay Graham
Magill. The indictments were exactly
alike, each containing six counts. The
counts are as follows:
That Mrs. Pet Magill was murdered
by the administration of strychnine
poison: that the murder was done by
arsenic; that the woman was smoth-
cred with a quilt; that she was stran-
gled to death by chloroform; that she
committed suicide as the result of a
compact agreement; that her death
was caused by the defendants by
means unknown to the jury.
Accused in Court.
Magin and his bride of four weeks
were in the crowded court room when
the indictments were returned.
They sat together inside the railing,
their four attorneys around table in
front of them. While hundreds stared
at Judge COchTane.
AS soon as the indictments were
filed, the prisoners were hurried out
of the court room and locked in an
ante-TOom with the sheriff's wife,
where they remained until court took
recess.
As the two prisoners, escorted by
the sheriff and his wife, came out of
the court house, a thousand men. wo-
men and children surrounded them,
eager to see Magill and his wife. Sew
eral men called out, Hello, Fred" to
which Magill responded. But neither
paid much attention to the crowd that
followed, walking the five blocks to the
jail
During the afternoon session Judge
Cochran sustained a motion to quaSh the
sixth count of both indictments. He over
ruled the motion TO QUash the other IN
dictments. holding that they were good.
The defense Immediately filed motion
to consolidate the two cases. so that both
iSu/iand and wife would be tried together.
and the court took this under advisemeDt.
TIE Sefense then asked that the cases be
set for trial as speedily as possible. and
Judge Cochran announced that Nov. 9
would be the earliest possible date. but
after considerable argument on this sub
ject, the judge adjourned court until Sat
urday morning. when he will decide
Nhether the trial will begin next week or
in November. The defendants were then
arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
