CHARGE Of
MURDER
GRAND JURY PROMPTLY
RETURNS INDICTMENT
Defendants Held Responsible
for Death of Woman Whom
Jurors Believe Was Poisoned
and StrangIed,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wlrel
Clinton, Ills, Aug. 2.-The grand
jury today reported indictments
against Fred Magil and his present
wife, Fay Graham Magir, charging
them with having caused the death of
Mrs. Pet Magill, the former wife of
Fred Maglll. There are six counts in
the indictment, as follows;
"That Pet Magill was murdered by
the administration of strychnine
poison.
THAT the murder was done by ar
senic.
"That she was smothered with a
quilt.
"That she was strangled to death by
chloroform.
THAT she committed suicide as a re.
suit of a compact and agreement.
"That her death was caused by
the defendants by some means un-
known to the jury"
During the afternoon session Judge
Cochran sustained a motion TO 1uash
the sixth count of both indictments,
He overruled the motion to quash the
other indictments, holding that they
were good. The defense Immediately
filed a motion TO consolidate the two
cases so that husband and wife would
be tried together. and the court took
this under advisement. The defense
then asked that the trials be set for
trial as speedily as possible. and
Judge Cochran announced that No
vember would be the earliest possi-
BILE date, but after considerable argu-
ment on this subject, the Judge ad-
journed court until Saturday morn
ing, when he will decide whether the
trial will begin next week or in No
vember. The defendants were then
arraigned and pleaded not guilty.

THRONG GREETS HAYWOOD
AT MORMON CAPITAL
Eager Admirers Almost Overwhelm
Little Party of Travellers
From Boise.

Salt Lake, Aug. 2.-Carrying his in
valid Wife in his arms, William d.
Haywood, secretary treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners step
ped from an Oregon Short Line train
at $50 o'clock this evening into a
crowd which had gathered to meet
him. In its eagerness to see the de-
fendant in the famous trial at Boise,
the mob almost overwhelmed the lit
tie party of travellers. Mrs. Carruth-
ers, Haywood's mother, was swept
away from the waiting carriages. She
was rescued by her stalwart son and
the latter after shaking the few hun
dreds of outstretehed hands, thanked
everybody and started with his family
for the home Of his sister, Mrs. James
Killeen.
Dying Lawyer Taken to Hospital.
With Haywood came his wife,
mother, two daughters and other rel
atiVes who met him i'm Ogden, John
II. Murphy, attorney for the Western
Federation of Miners, who Is now dy-
ing from tuberculosis, and DR.. w. l..
Bsrow, Mr. Murphy's physician. On
his arrival here the patient was so i'll
that he was taken to the Holy Cross
hospital, as fear Is expressed that he
will not live to reach Denver, al
though his physician still speaks hope
fully.
At Ogden the news of HaywOod's ar
rival spread through the railroad
yards, and many men from the shops
and switch engines i'm greasy blue
jumpers took advantage 'of the short
stop to touch the hand of the labor
leader and to cheer him as the tram

Denies Quarrellng With Meyer.
"The story that have had quarrel
with Meyer doubtless originated where
other similar stories, equally false
have started" said Haywood.
There is absolutely no truth in
them. Mr. Meyer delayed his depaf-
ture from Boise chiefly because h.
wanted to stay near PettibOne as lOr 3;
as possible. AS to the changes tn
may be made In counsel at the nesi
trial. ! do not know. There will pro '-
ably be a change. Some slight di.-
Guilty has arisen between Messrs. Rich-
ardsOn and DarrOw. Both are biz
men and such differences are almost
sure to arise when two big men are
trying the same case"
Mr.. Haywood said that he would
leave with his family for Denver at 4
o'clock tomorrow evening on the Rio
Grande. He expects to be at his desk
at federation headquarters on Mon
day.

NEW GRIEF FOR

ROAD
LOSES LICENSE TO DO
BUSINESS IN ALABAMA
Violation of Statute Prohibiting
Removal of Suits From State
to Federal Court Brings
Drastic Retaliation,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wlre.l
Montgomery. Ala, Aug. 3.-An-
nouncement was made yesterday by
Secretary of State Frank n. Julian
that he had revoked the franchise of
the Southern Railway company be-
cause it had removed case from the
state circuit court of Talladega county
to the United States circuit court at
Birmingham. This action is alleged
to be in violation of the two outlaw
acts passed by the state Legislature
last winter, each of which provided
that such removal should be punish
able by revocation of the charter Of
the offending railroad.
One of these laws, the better known,
was declared unconstitutional by
United States Judge Thomas ]. Jones,
but never enjoined by the federal
courts. The state insists that the Sec
ond outlaw act Is still in force, and
it is entirely proper to act under its
provisions, while the adherents of the
railway contend the act of revocation
is in contempt of the federal court in
junction, at least in spirit. Neither
side would make an authoritative
statement of the probable course to be
pursued in the controversy today,
