Mrs. John R. Early, wife of the
insists hat her husband is not aflict-

ing by him with touching devotion.
Since August last the suspect has
occupied a little cottage, separated
only by a fence from the house occu-
pied by his wife. where she and the
children could talk with him and can
watch him at work in a little garden.
She first prevented the authorities
| from separating him entirely from his
family and human association, and has
tried to obtain every method of treat
ment that medical science could sug-
gest.
Her latest move has been to engage
an eminent specialist to study her
husbands case, and she has just re-
ceived his first report, which has CIV
en- her fresh encouragement and hope.
The specialist, whose name she will
not disclose. stated as his belief that

children she watches him from her
side of the fence and converses with
him. The eldest Of the children, a lit

him and play with him a S formerly.
The younger child, 5 months old. was

LABOR LEADERS CONVICTED.
Madden, Pouchot and Boyle Found
Guilty of Conspiracy.

A compromise verdict, lnticting a
penalty of $500 each on Martin b.
Madden, Fred A. Pouchot and M. j.
Boyle, the labor leaders found guilty
OF conspiracy to eXtort money from the
Joseph klicka company, was Saturday
returned by the Chicago jury in whose
hands the fate of the three defendants
had rested since Thursday afternoon.
Before entering the courtroom to an
nounce their verdict to the court the
jurors had agreed among themselves
not to talk for publication. Despite
this it was authoritatively learned that
the verdict was a compromise, growing
out Of a deadlock ballot which stood
Z to 5 for conviction of the three men.
Forty ballots were taken by the panel.
On the principle that he has
"scotched' the snake of graft but not
killed it. in securing the verdict of
guilty. States Attorney Wayman has
braided fresh quirts for the castiga-
ton of Madden and his lieutenants. AS
soon as it vas announced that after
forty-six hours of battle in the jury
room Of Judge McSurely's court the
jury had established a record in labor
cases in Chicago by finding a verdict
of guilty, albeit by virtue Of a COM
promise eliminating the penitentiary
from the punishment. Mr.. Wayman or
dered Madden rushed to trial IN an
other of the indictments standing
against him and carrying a peniten-
tiary sentence in the event of ultimate
conviction. Furthermore, it was an
nounced at the states attorneys office
that evidence will be presented to the
Cook county grand jury with the OBJ
ject of securing the indictment of GER
tain witnesses for the defense in the
trial just closed on charges of per-
Jury.
