STATE FAILED IN PROOF

 Cell Doors to Him.

St Louis June 6.-After Dora EllZa, hoth Doxey had enjoyed a few brief bours of freedom following her ac. ouittal on the charge of murdering William J. Erder, she was hurried to Clayton where she was placed in jail to await trial on the charge of having entered into bigamous marriage with Erder at Clayton April 26, 1909
 statement from the office of Cir. emit Attorney Seebert G. Jones was to the effect that Mrs. Doxey would be proceeded against criminally in St. Louis on the charge of perjury in con- uection with the collection of the life insurance on Erder's life. Three charges of perjury and two of obtain ing money under false pretenses, it is claimed. can be placed against her.
 With the acquittal of Mrs. Doxey, it is stated at the circuit attorneys of flee that conference would be held to consider the case now pending against Loren B. Doxey, who was in- dicted jointly with his wife While no decision has been reached it is confidently predicted at the four courts that a nolle proseQui will be entered and that he will be liberated.

They held that it was not proved that Mrs. Doxey had administered arsenic to Erder, and it was on this point that the jury based it's verdict.
 Johnson Analyses Verdict.
 The states greatest mistake" said Attorney Charles r. Johnson. was that they did not stick closely to the corpus delicti. They did not establish this to the satisfaction of the jury.
 They sought to show too much of motive and irrelevant and immaterial testimony, and did not concentrate their efforts sufficiently on the intro duction of testimony to show death from arSenical poisoning.
 They should have known the truth about cacodylate of sodium, and not been hopelessly involved on this point. which they had to abandon. With three of the five counts against the de- iendant abandoned, with the admis- sion of error the jury had right to reason that perhaps the state was mis- taken regarding the remaining two counts
 oFefconhdence was fatal mistake on the part of the prosecution. Assist ant Circuit Attorney Newton too often smiled disdainfully when counsel for 'ne uetense interposed objections.

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA

THE public conscience is now be-

lie morality. Last week l was in
vited to take part in a meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church.
but who are sincerely desirous OF as
sisting in the reformation OF their
countrymen. Their purpose was M
start an antigambling league. e.
with this in mind they called a public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds Of Chinese scholars and
business men. and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style. approving Of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members Of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting. and to demonstrate by the
means Of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese. and the chief organizer Of the
movement is one Of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
Of Kinngsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin
solo. a Chinese secretary OF the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two tornet solos. and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. Tho
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that II
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years. even ten years, ago such
meeting would not have been within
the realm Of possibility. Today We
have a class Of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity In their midst the ideals
which they are desirous Of impressing
upon their countrymen."
