WILL ASK DEATH PENALTY.
Prosecutor Holds Four Responsible
for Murder of Banker Saylor.

States Attorney John D. Pallissard
in Watseka, Ill, announced h a he
would ask the death penalty for all
four defendants in the murder of
Banker John Byron Sayler-Dr. W. K.
Miller, Mrs. Lucy Sayler, John Grun-
den and Ira GrundeR.
Mrs. Cora Miller, wife of the &C
cused physician, who is in Watseka
with an uncle, John Marshall of Blairs-
Vile, Pa, has S25O,O00 back of her in
her fight to free her husband. She re-
pudiated a report that she had visited
Mrs. Sayler In the Watseka Jail, and
declared her undying hatred for her
m rival. Owing to Mrs. Miller's
peculiar position in the case-that of
a witness for her husband and against
Mrs. Sayler-it became probable that
there would be separate trials for Mil
Ter and the other defendants. Mrs.
Sayler, her brother, Ira Grunden, II
her father, John Grunden, will be tried
on the charge Of accessory to murder,
and Miller will be tried separately, 1t
is believed, on the direct charge Of
murder.

JURY FREES ELLA GINGLES.
Acquitted Of Theft, but Verdict De-
clares Stories of Attacks Untrue.

1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Ella Gingles, not guilty. We further
find the charges made against Miss
Agnes Barrette to be u~nfounded and
untrue" With the foregoing double
tipped verdict the jury in Judge Bren-
tano's court in Chicago wound up the
famous Gingles case-the case of COM
mon larceny which swelled into one Of
the greatest psychological puzzles in
legal annals and made regulations
tremble with weird charges of white
slavery and amazing stories Of psy-
~chCpathic nature.
The verdict at once was q release
3or the girl from the charge Of steal
Tag lace and a vindication of the po-
sitiOn taken by the State, which vas
that. ella Gingles lied in her terrible
story of m~istreatment at the hands
of Miss Barrette, her acCuser. and
Miss Barrette's associate. the deci-
sion was reached after seven hours
OF elaboration. during which five bal
lots were taken, the first being eight
to four for acQuittal. From the time
Of entering the jury room the jurors
were agreed that the story told by
the girl against Miss Barrette was IN
true.
The point upon which the four
jurors who at first stood out for con-
viction turned in their voting was
a doubt as to whether Ella Gingles
really stole W. pieces of lace valued
at not more than $50 which Miss
Aornc pnrrpt}o rn;l tive ,;,1 tooJ, rro,,
her Irish lace store in the Wellington
Hotel. The decision resulted in attor-
neys for both sides rejoicing in the
fruits of victory-a situation novel in
