Faye Graham Magill.
The indictments were exactly alike,
each containing six counts. The six
counts in each indictment are as fol-
lows:
That Mrs. Pet Magill was MUIR
dered by the administration of strych-
nine poison; that the murder was
done by arsenic; that she was smoth-
cred with a quilt; that she was
strangled to death by chloroform, that
she committed suicide as the result OF
a compact and agreement with the de-
PENDANTS and by their advice and coun-
sci; that her death was caused by the
defendants, by some means unknown
to the grand jury"
Magill and his bride of four weeks

nled, the prisoners were hurried out of
the court room and locked in an ante
room with the Sheriff's wife. where
they remained until court took a re-
cess. AS the prisoners, escorted by
the Sheriff and his wife, came out of
he courthouse thousand men, women
md children surrounded them, eager to
Zee Magill and his wife, Several men
:alled out, Hello, Fred" to which
'lagill replied. But neither paid much
ttention to the crowd that followed
n walking the five blocks to the jail.
During the afternoon session Judge
cochran sustained a motion to Quash
he sixth count of both indictments.
lie overruled the motion to quash the
ther indictments.
The defense filed motion to con-
olidate the two cases, So that both
usband and wife would be tried to-
ether, and the court took this under
lvisement. The defense then asked
lat the cases be set for trial as speed
y as possible, and Judge Cochran an
lunced that Nov. 8 would be the
lrliest possible date but after con-
derable argument on this subject the
idge adjourned court until Saturday,
hen he will decide whether the trials
all begin next week or in November.
ne defendants were then arraigned

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Aug. Mrs. sar
Small, wife OF the celebrated Georgi

hotel today scored women's clubs an
organizations generally, including tn
w. c. T. u. because, she said, the,
had failed in the purposes for whicl
they were organized, aud had deter

clubs"
Mrs. Small believes that indirectly
these women's organizations were re
sponsible for the great number OF
young women entering into mems
work, through inability to get at what
she terms the woman problem" a
greater future question than that of
capital and labor or the race prob.
lem.
IL the women's clubs and fieneficent
organizations desire TO accomplish their
real purpose in life, they should teach
the young womanhood of our country
the love for the home"
Mrs. Small said this So far they
have failed to do and advised girls
to go to work for living" Let the
girls remain at home and take work
from their mothers shoulders, while
the father and brothers support them.
Women are now fast running salaries
because the yare willing to work
cheaper than men in order to wear
line clothes. Daily association with
men in the business field tends to
break down the barrier between the |
sexes and when men~lose their senti- |
ment for women they lose their
respect for them"
Mrs Small believes leaving home is
responsible for the much talked of
servant problem"
These women's clubs and other or
CARNATIONS which pretend to exist for
sake don't study what real
life is" said Mrs. Small They spend
he greater part of their time in enter.
