s. rvice had just ended and Count Boni
ap. Prince Helie met on the steps.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Dora Nc
Donald, who has been on trial here
since January 20 on the charge of
numbering Webster Guerin, was ac-
quilted by a jury in the criminal court
tonight.
The verdict was reached after six
and a half hours deliberation, the
jury having retired at 1 o'clock this
afternoon.
The defendant, who is the widow of
Michael Mcdonald, the former mil
lionaire gambling king and political
leader in Chicago, received the YER
dict without apparent emotion. Dur
ing the trial she had frequently COL
lapsed, and on several occasions the
case has been interrupted in order that
she might receive medical attention.
Tonight, however, she was the least
moved of any of the persons con-
cerned in the defense, her attendant
being so overcome that Mrs. Mcdonald
was compelled to exchange roles with
her and try to quiet the woman.
Members Of the jury took an oath
before reaching their finding not TO
reveal the history of their delibera-
tions. The first ballot, they said,
stood eight to four for acquittal, but
subsequent developments were care
fully kept secret.
After Mrs. Mcdonald had been dis
charged she was taken to a hotel by
that she will retire to a sanitarium.
Despite her nervous and physical con-
dition during the trial and the months
following the tragedy, no hint of in
sanity was offered as a defense at the
trial

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 1.-THE net
result of the Republican primaries held
throughout Ohio today was in favor of
William H. Taft. Four delegates-at-
large, twenty-five district delegates to
the national convention in Chicago and
a list of delegates to the state con-
vention, to be held March 3, which will
be unanimously in his favor, were Sc
lected
No opposition worth mentioning de-
veloped during the day. The supreme
court destroyed all chances of success
by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga
county by declaring that the Taft
county committee was the only valid
organization of it's kind in that coun-
ty, and the selection of delegates went
by default, no t,cket being placed in
the field against the Taft candidates.
In Knox county the opposition to
Taft had brought an independent
ticket into the field, the 'indepen-
dents,' however, being all Foraker
men. The Taft candidates won easily
the vote being four to one in their
favor.
Actual voting for delegates to the
state convention was carried on in but
thirty-five out of the total of eighty
eight counties, the Taft delegates in
tion.
Congressional primaries were held in
the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, the greater
part of the Eighth, Ninth, twelfth,
Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth and
Twenty-first district and in small por-
tions of the Seventh and Nineteenth.
Taft Ticket Wins
In all but the two last, wherein the
voting was in too limited a territory to
be decisive, the Taft ticket won WITH
out opposition. In the Ninth, Slxth
and sixteenth districts candidates for
congress were nominated directly at
the primaries. 1t was the original IN
tention to select delegates to the ma
tional convention in the same manner,
bu. later it was decided, in order TO
avoid all chance of future compllca-
tions. to name the delegates at reg
ular district convention.
In the Eighth district congressional
primaries were not held in one county
-Hardin-but the result there cannon
POSSIBLY overrule the vote in the re-
mainder of the state, and the two dele
gates to the chicago convention are
certain for Taft.
The following statement was issued
tonight by Arthur 1. Vorys, manager OF
the Taft presidential campaign: ONO
is for Taft: the result of the primaries
todav completes the demonstration
Every county, except one win seven
delegates, now has selected it's dele
gates TO the state convention. Every
County has selected Taft delegates
The state convention will be unanl-
mously for Taft, for every one of 1919
delegates is for and is instructed tor
Taft. This unanimity also demon
strates that every one of the forty-slA
delegates to the national conVehtioi'
will be for Taft"

BY Associated Press.
FULLERTON, Cal, Feb. II. - Two
men were instantly killed and ten 9TH
ers narrowly escaped with their lives
today when an engine of the Sharpe
Hauser Construction company struck
a soft fill at Horseshoe Bend on the
Santa Fe and toppled into the ditch.
Steam Shovel Engineer James Bewes
and j. Shae, a powder man, were
caught beneath the locomotive as 1t
fell from the track and their lives were
crushed out.
There were twelve men riding on the
engine at the time. All jumped when
the danger was apparent and succeed
cd in escaping with the exception of
the two men named. Bewes resided at
Wilmington, where his body will be
taken for burial. His wife was with
her husband in the camp of the con-
struction crew. Shae was unmarried.
An inquest over the bodies of both
rlen will be held at once.
The scene of the wreck is in the To-
cality known as Santa Ana canyon, on
the Santa Fe line, between Santa Ana
and San Bernardino. Recent heavy
lains weakened the fill and last night
a considerable portion of it caved
away from the track. The engineer
saw the weakened spot as his engine
approached and succeeded in bringing
the engine almost to a stop. 1t was too
late however, and the weight of the
locomotive caused the track to give
way. The one car drawn by the en-
gine did not leave the rails.
The financial loss will be between
$2500 and $4,000.
