THE MAGILLS ARE ACQUITTED
SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL AT
DECATUR, ILL, is ENDED.
He Said the State Had Failed to Prove
that the Defendants Were Guilty
of the Alleged Crime.

Decatur, Ill. - Acting under in
structions from Judge Cochran,
jury last night acquitted Frederick
Magill and his wife, Faye Graham Ma
gill, of the charge of numbering Ma
gilPs first wife. The judge said that
the state had failed to prove the
charges The verdict was greeted with
cheers, despite the efforts of the court
to maintain order
Mrs. Pet Magill was found dead in
bed at her home In Clinton, ILL.,, on
May 81. She had died of chloroform
asphyxiation. Notes pinned to the
bed by Mrs. Magill asserted that she
had taken her life because of constant
indignities thrust on her by her hus-
bands relatives.
The coroner returned verdict of
suicide and little was thought of the
case until five weeks later when Ma
gill, who was bank cashier, and
Miss Faye Graham, close friend of
Magill's daughter, were married in
Denver The quick marriage caused
unfavorable comment in Clinton and
it was suggested that Magill and Miss
Graham had forced Mrs. Magill to
take her life by their actions and COM
ments. so that they might marry.
Magill and his new wife were ar
rested at San Diego, Cal, after their
marriage. and brought back for trial.
The state charged that the notes
found in Mrs. Pet Magill's bed were
forged and that If Magill and Faye
Graham did not kill her they drove
her to suicidal dependency by their
actions toward each other. No proof
was produced to prove the charges,
and the final plea of the prosecuting
attorney was that Magill knew his
wife was suicidally despondent and
did not use proper means to prevent
the self-murder.

LONG VOYAGE IN A BALLOON.
Two Army Officers Travel from st,
Louis Into West Virginia.

st. Louis, Mo.-Swinging through
the air at a speed estimated at %
miles an hour, the United States sig
nal corps balloon No. 10, in which
aeronauts j. G. Mccoy and Capt.
Charles Def. Chandler, of the signal
corps, ascended at ST. Louis Thursday
evening, passed over Illinois and In.
diana Thursday night and across Ohio
Friday and last night probably landed
in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, w.
Va. The distance covered is approx,
mately 500 miles, and the length of
the voyage won for the aeronauts the
Lahm cup.
The Lahm cup was instituted by the
Aero Club of America soon after the
international races at Paris in 1906,
when Frank p. Lahm won the James
Gordon Bennett cup for the Aero Club
of America. So joyful were the mem
bers of the club at the victory that the
cup was named for the pilot of the
balloon United States" and it was
put up by the club to be won by the
aeronaut who travelled more than 4O2
f, miles, the distance travelled by the
United States" in the Paris races,
provided the start was made from
American soil. Lieut.. Lahm never
held the cup and this was the first
time it was ever won.
The balloon, Stevens No 81, in
which Alan r. Hawley and Augustus
Post ascended at 6:10 o'clock Thurs
day evening, landed Friday 16 miles
from Indianapolis and about 225 miles
on a straight line from st. Louis.
The balloon manned by Aeronauts
Oscar Erbsloeh and Hans Heidemann,
who compose one of the German
teams entered in the international
cup race, landed at Red Bud, Ill.,, 80
miles southeast of here at 1882 D. m.
Friday. The balloon started from
here at / :05 p. m. for trial flight.

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular

She was Japanese college student,

her Paris gown.
"The kiss" she said, blushing faint

is becoming quite renowned.
'Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in Japanese girls ex-
perience / have known maidens who
tainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
