Woman Accused Of Killing Her Hue
band Believed to Be Innocent.
Mrs. Julia Ann O'Grady, who last
tall was arrested on the charge OF hav.
ing murdered her aged husband, John
O'Grady, at the O'Grady home, north
Of Sioux Falls, will not be tried on the
charge Of murder, as had generally
been expected.
States Attorney Orr appeared be-
fore Judge Jones, Of the state circuit
court, and moved that the charge
against Mrs. O'Grady be dismissed. II
appears that diligent search has fail
ed to bring forth anything In the
shone Of evidence upon which con
n could be based, and undo"
ME circumstances the states at
Jorney asked that the case be dis
missed, and Judge Jones SO ordered.
Mrs. OGrady was under a heavy
bond for her appearance in the state
circuit court, and this now will be re-
leased.
John O'Crady was mysteriously shot
and killed while seated In his home.
One feature which pointed to the in
nocence Of Mrs. O'Grady, and which
has not heretofore been printed in any
newspaper, concerned her actions i'm
mediately following her giving the
alarm at the home of a neighbor that
her husband had been shot and killed.
The neighbor and his wife returned
10 the O'Grady home with Mrs.
OGrady.
A lighted lamp standing on a table
revealed the body of the old man on
the floor, but the neighbor and his
wife did not at that time eater the
aouse, remaining at the doorway and
peering into the room in which the
body lay.
Mrs. O'Grady, however, entered the
room without hesitation, and, going up
to the body Of her husband, lifted the
head, and, placing her cheek against
that Of the dead man, piteously called
his name and urged him to speak to
her. Those WHO have had much to do
with criminals declare that this action
clearly was an evidence of innocence,
and that had Mrs. O'Grady really
been guilty of the wanton murder Of
her husband she would have shrank
from the body instead of caressing the
face and head of her dead husband.

Caught in the cab OF his wrecked
engine his clothes on fire and suffer
ing from broken collar bone and 9TH
er injuries, Engineer Edwin c. Durkin
of the Milwaukee railroad was rescued
from certain death by his fireman. Ed.
ward Nelson.
The men were on one Of the big
freight engines coming east from Het-
finger, n. d., to Lennon, new town
on the extension just below the state
line. when the engine and tender
'jackknifed," left the track and rolled
down a high embankment with both
men In the cab. The fireman was
thrown out but the engineer was
caught by the levers and held fast.
The engine turned completely over
and the firebox, becoming dislodged,
fell on Durkin's shoulder and set fire
to his clothes.
In the meantime the fireman, al
most stunned by the fall, made his
way to the engine. and although badly
bruised and shaken up, he managed
to drag the engineer out Of the cab by
prying back the levers.
Both men will recover from their In.
juries.
