lin, the simple. Winsome girl who a
few weeks ago emitted a Al Colts
revolver into the body of her false
lover, Hugh Smith, Jr., yesterday
faced jury of ner peers, and while
Mamie Mclaughlin told the story of
her wrong which prompted the hor-
rible deed, Alice Blake, the girl who
had supplanted her in the affections
OF the tickle lover, told of the sensa-
tional tragedy, and presently the case
was given to the jury, and it did
not take them long to bring in a
verdict of not guilty. The unwritten
law was the basis of the defense,
and it evidently weighed well with
the twelve men who had the fate of
the girl in their hands. 1t was the
plea made by the womanhood Of New
Orleans, as represented by the Era
Club and the other women's organi-
cations. and they sat through the
trial, lending their influence by their
presence to the sorrow stricken girl.
When the verdict was brought in,
despite the warning given by Judge
Baker beforehand, the audience,
composed almost entirely of women,
broke into demonstration that rival

room, and the deputies were power

The jury had been out about
twenty minutes, when the court was

Jugde Baker from the bench, seeking
to avert a demonstration, began by
complimenting the audience upon the
splendid decorum maintained so far
in the case, and asked that it be

applause, and then one of two stem

ladies (some of them, not alb began
cheering and waving handkerchiefs.
The judge stood agast, the deputies
were paralyzed, while the prisoner
bowed her head on her arms and
wept for JOY.
Then she was taken to the grand
jury room, where the ladies follow

enough there for the throng that
tried to extend congratulations, she
was taken to the sheriff's Office, and
there they manifested their satisfac-
tion in hearty handshakes, and SYM
pathetic words, and many promised
material assistance in helping her to
better life.

HOW 70 MAKE eae.N JUICE.

ter, but the crushing and pre- ssine
can be done by hand. If light-col.
lored Juice is desired, put the crush
ed grapes in a cleanly washed cloth
and when folded in, with an assist
ant, proceed to twist each end un-
til the greater part of the Juice is
forced out.
The Jul e should then be placed
in stone jar and slowly heated to
not less than 180 nor more than 200
degrees. This Jar should be set in
dishpan of water before heating.
IN order to prevent the scorching of
the juice. Hold to the above heat
about ten minutes, but do not al
low it to come to boil. This done,
pour it into glass or enameled ves-
sci and let it settle for "a hours:
then carefully drain the clear juice
from the sediment and run it
through a flannel filter. It is now
ready for bottling, but be sure that
the bottles are thorougly sterilized
before filing. Common glass fruit
jars would do in the absence of bot
ties. Do not fill quite full as room
must be allowed for the second heat
ing's expansion. Fit d thin board in
the bottom of common wash boiler.
set the filled bottles on this, fill boil
er with water to nearly the height
of juice in the bottles, and heat again
as above, not allowing it to come to
a boil. Then take the bottles out,
and seal tightly; cork Immediately.
1t is a good idea to take the pre-
caution of sealing the corks over
with paraffin or sealing wax to pre-
vent the germs of mold from enter
ing through the cork.
Should red juice be desired,
crush and heat the fruit, then drain
instead of pressing, and proceed as
with the white juice. With the
white we pressed out the juice be-
fore heating. The bottles should
now be set away in a cool place, and
in an upright position and if het
work has been properly done, this
unfermented juice will keep for an
indefinite period.-A. M. Latham, in

His victim is said to have been Susie McDuffey the six year old daughter of Frank McDuffey, negro farmer who lives on the Creed Taylor place. three miles southeast of Pine Bluff Will Hams strongly denies the charge and intimates that he has been "jobbed' by certain parties who object to hs selling consumers groceries di- rect from the Omaha house. He has employed Senator H. K Toney - represent him at the preliminary hearing, which will take place next Saturday before Magistrate J. A. Frazier, in this city.
 Williams so the charge goes, wis., tied the home of McDuffey while the latter and h's wife were in the field, picking cotton. Three small children were at home and Williams is said to have made the little girl get into his buggy. He drove a half mile from the house and took the child into a field, where two negro men are said to have appeared, rum .ng him away. The child walked back home and reported the matter to her parents. According to the mother, Williams did not accomplish his pur- pose, but handled the little girl roughly. Williams is positive in as- Serting his innocence.
 Williams has brother living at Henrietta, Ok, and is said to be well connected. He was at the home of Mr. Patton for the night when the constable appeared and ar rested him. He has been making his headquarters in this city and has been lying at the Robinson Board- ing House on Georgia street.

Naples, Oct. 25.-The coasts of the Fay of Naples and the Gulf of Saler- no and the islands of Ischia and Pro- cida have been devastated by a pe- c'lliar combination of elements. The exact number of victims has not been learned, but 250 persons are said to be lied.
 The monetary loss is great. The distaster appears to have come from d cyclone having three centers, the first over the island of Ischia, the second over the town off Del Greco, cn the east coast of the Bay of Naples and the third sweeping the Gulf of Salerno.
 Accompanying the cyclone were cioudbursts, tidal wave and violen; eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and from a crater suddenly opened on inc summit of the long extinct Mount Epomeo, on the island of 1sch'a.

nothing to do with the other crims,
 Does Not Look Like Crazy Negro.


 He does not look like negro that would go crazy and kill so many peo- pie without any motive, and his ex- planation of the feeling that induced him ito commit the other crime is sufficient to convince person who talks to him that he is telling the truth and that he does not know any, thing about the Sweet Home pike murders.
 He has already been indicted by the grand jury, the indictment hav- ing been found before he returned. It is likely that he will waive any preliminary hearing and be committed to jail.
 The capture of Wooten by Sheriff Roberts and his force shows they nave been keeping in very close connection with the negro all along. because they have chased him over Oklahoma and Missouri as we'll as parts of Arkansas almost since the night he killed Nelson and left here, and have landed him back in Little Rock within a little more than a month after the crime was commit ed.

But Claims He Knows Moth. Ing About Sweet Home
 Pike Tragedies.
TROUBLE OVER WIFE
Says He Was Nss on the Sweet
 A Home Pike, and Has Since Been Over Two States.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 25.-Deputy | Sheriff J. J. Hawkins, arrived in Little Rock this morning about I9 o'clock bringing with him Charles lWooten, the negro arrested yesterday 1at Sedalia, Mo-, and now held here on eae charge of the murder of Ed Nell son, negro, on the Arch street pike en the night of September 19.
 The negro decided yesterday to re- turn to Little Rock with Mir. Hawkins and not wait for requisition papers Rs he had demanded. He denies that he knows anything about the tragedy on Sweet Home Pike in which Arthur Hatton was killed, Mrs. piehl wounded and afterwards died, and MT. Gossell and Miss Meyer wounded, on the same night the negro was killed on the Arch street pike.
 WOOten Admits Nelson Killing.
 Charles Wooten says he does not deny that he killed Ed Nelson, and lclaims that the trouble was oyer the wife of Wooten; he claims that he bad no cause to want to kill anybody Ielse, and that he rented the gun for Ehe purpose, which he afterwards Ehrew away on the Arch Street pike, twhen he decided to leave the coun- try.
 F He first worked his way On the Eailroad for some distance down the Eracks and finally went to Oklahoma, khlrking for his board as he went and GtSying away from the towns. He fin- hlly went to sedalia, where he was kaptured.
 He says he had warned the Nell son negro to stay away from his fwife, and when he again saw them to- gether he told him he would kill h m, and that his act in killing Nelson was pnrely one of jealousy.
 Where Gun Was Found.
 It will be remembered by those who Kept up with the facts at the time that the gun was found On the Arch Erect pike just about where Wooten Said he left it, and was identified by he local dealers as the one they had rented to Wooten in the afternoon be- lore the killing.
 There is scarcely now any doub' bout the innocence of Wooten of any
 ort of connection with the Sweet Home pike tragedy. He is yer, fank in his admission that he is the han who killed Nelson, and just as Positive in his assertion that he had
