Ella Gingles Not Guilty,
Says Jury, In Trial of
Irish Lace Maker at Chi
cago. ai
WHITE SLAVERY
STORY UNFOUNDED.
Tom Targgart Completely
EXonorated of Connection
With Case.

Chicago, Ill.,. July 20.-Elln Cling
les was cleared last night OF thu
charge of stealing lace from Miss
Agnes Barrette, her former employo,
but tho story she told on the witness
stand to the effect that an attempt
was made force her iIo white slav-
cry was denounced as unture by tho
jury that freed her. The verdict
was as follows:
I'VE. the jury. find tho defendant
not guilty and we, the jury, further
find that the charges made against
Miss Agnes BarTette were unfound-
cd and are untrue"
The basis OF the defense made by
Miss Gingles' counsel was that Mlsa
Barrette and others had attacked her
and mistreated her In the Yelling
ton hotel Oh two occasions last win
ter, and that the objects OF those at
tacks and OF the theft charge was to-
force her to be sold to an unnamed
man in French Lick Springs, lad.
The jury was out seven hours. Tho
court room was nearly vacant when
the jury came I'm.
Miss Gingles shook hands with tho
jurors. Juror Thomas Mackey, the
Oldest man on the panel, said:
Now. b. a good girl ELLA. Go back
to your home in Ireland and be
good girl
The girl nodded her head and
turned away.
Five ballots were taken by tho
jury. The first was eight for acquit-
tai and four for conviction. Those
voting for conviction did so mainly
from their belief that the girls stor-
les OF the weird outrages comitted
against her were untrue. They were
won over TO acquittal by the addition
to the verdict Of the clause exoner-
atlng Miss Barrette.
1t was announced by Assistant
states Attorney Furthman that the
OF whether Indictments for
perjury would be asked against Miss
Ginglos would be taken up today.
Among the spectators in the court
room was Caleb Powers, once secre-
tary OF state OF Kentucky, who spent
several years In prison I'm connection
with the kllli1g of Governor Goe-
bel.
In instructing the jury Judge Ber-
nato said that tho girls story OF the
tortue in the Wellington hotel was
to be regarded by the Jurors as
a test OF the credlbility OF the de-
PENDANTS testimony.
At one time the taking OF perti-
nent evidence was halted long
enough TO give Thomas Taggart, OF
Indiana, former chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee, an
opportunity 10 declare from the Wit
ness stand that he had no knowledge
OF Ella Glngles save what he had
read in the newspapers. His name
lad been mentioned by Ella Gingles
as one which was spoken while she
was subjected to the imaginary abuse
at the hotel. u was made clear that
Mr.. Taggart had nothing to do with
the case.

are quite short and do not hide the dainty
footwear worn beneath. The little shoes
are entrancngly pretty with their fox.ngs
of patent leather and their embroideries
and headings At an important opening
of elaborate afternoon costumes early In
the winter every gown was displayed
with an accompanying pair of boots,
some Of colored suede. some OF bronze
and buckskin with all manner of dainty
furb shings. The formal reception cos
tune, however, is not short enough to re-
veal the footwear, but trails all around
several inches on the floor. Such gowns
are worn now only when the journey
through the streets Is to be made In car
riage or limousine, and few women are
seen holding up long skirts. as was the
case last winter.
Different from the more elaborate after
noon frocks, but quite as characteristic
in their way, are the chic street dresses
of heavy serge and cheviot, which are
worn with the massive furs without other
W, APPS. These frocks are usually In the
Russian style, witt. long tunics falling TO
the knee. Miss Pauline Frederick, in
THE Fourth Estate" wears such frock
with handsome sable furs. The costume
is of tobacco Drown broadcloth with
oeep hem to the knee of brown velvet,
below the hips, is of the velvet. This
costume is a startling innovation after
the long-coated suits worn two seasons,
BIZ. it's charm cannot be denied and many
limitations will doubtless follow soon.
