 Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 15-Hattie iLe Blanc, today, enjoyed all tEe lux uries and graces afforded by the eX- elusive River Bank Court, the apart ment house in which lives Melvin M. Johnson, the young lawyer whose a. fairly successful evil practitioner, to a famous defender of the weak.
 Yesterday, sne arose and went through all the dull. irksome routine of the prison, to go into the court room to hear herself acquitted of the murder of Clarence F. Glover.
 The girl showed the keenest apreci- her by Mrs. Johnson. After Hattie's acuuittal, yesterday. Mrs. Johnson took the girl off to the shelter of her home to await decision as to her future life.
 That decision was expected to be made this afternoon, when Hattie. Johnson, the girls father and her two sisters. Irene and Lillian, held a con- ference at Johnson's home. Hattie will go home to West Arichat, Cape Breton, that is certain. In an inter view with a newspaper representative the girl, partly in French and partly in English. tried to express her feel ings over her acquittal. '1'm so hap pv, Pm going home! I think of see- ing my friends only" she said. '"The terrible trial is over and now every body will know I didn't do that ter r,ble thing. They all pray, my friends that are in West Arichat, that shall go free. The prayer it is an- swered and the good men of the jury say I am not guilty. I am so happy now. that it is hard to think what I shall say to all these people who so kind to ne have been.
 "When the men come in the room grab the hand of my dear friend, kind and good Matron Warnock. Then far off the voice say that the men of the jury find me not guilty. I feel the nails of my hands cut into my flesh so tightly they are shut. I feel my feet on the floor. the room it goes round and round, see so many faces everywhere.
 "When the voice say to me to put my hand up and I hear the good jury say Not guilty then I feel the arms of good Mime. Warnock around my neck and she kiss me and say she is glad. There is the sound like the sea in the storm in winter. see that all the many men and women in the big room are so glad they clap and shout and the officers try to make them quiet.
 'I have passed through so much that am old though it is that I am only 17. The only happy memories of my life they are of West Arichat. There I am to go soon for the long rest and forget all that is so unhappy for me to remember. Lillian is going with me.
 Madame Glover Of her I would not speak. I do wish I had much money-lots of money, then I to the poor people presents would give to make them happy. I know how to help for I have suffered so much that my eyes are almost blind."
 With Hattie free and the statement of Judge Bond that there is at pres ent insufficient evidence to bring Mrs. Glover before the Grand Jury to detain her for the murder of her husband. the Glover murder will prob ably remain a mystery forever. How ever. Glover's brothers, who are con- testing the will, held conferences with counsel today, With a view of having the authorities investigate the mur- der of their brother
