way. and the same will be done as

lowing these two parties to let the
water run If the weather should be

and as no revenue can come to the
city, therefore the owners of the
Box Factory are asked to pay for
the meter and its setting.

city. City Attorney Hess. reported

JURY FREES GIRLS
LILLIAN GRAHAM AND ETHEL

VERDICT IN So MINUTES
Tounq Women Become Hysterical
When They Are Acquitted of At
tempt to xii New York Million
aire-Given Ovation by Crowd.

New York.-Lillian Graham and
Ethel Conrad, the young women who
shot W. E. D. Stokes in the legs, are
acquitted The acquittal was re-
turned in record-breaking time, but
fifty-eight minutes to think it over
and reach a verdict.
Miss Graham fell into the arms OF
Miss Conrad and they were locked in
fearful embrace when friends rushed
to their aid.
After holding a triumphant recep-
ton in the courtroom they were es-
corted from the criminal court build
mig by a cheering crowd
In his charge to the jury Judge
Marcus eliminated the attempted
murder charge from the indictment,
restricting the jury to the charges of
assault with intent to kill and as
sault with intent to do bodily harm.
His contention was that the shooting
in the Varuna apartment on the night
of June was not premeditated.
The closing plea of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Buckner was vicious
attack on the girls and a denunciatlon
of Stokes OF the latter he said:
1T makes no difference whether
you like Stokes or not. | don't like
him. I'm glad he isn't my father.
My father is a minister of the Gospel
and stands for everything Stokes
isn't. This has nothing to do with
the case, however The fact remains
that Stokes was a willy old man who
knew better than to get himself into
breach of promise suit. There was
not an element of love in the whole
affair. 1t was lust on Stokes part
and on Miss Graham's part it was
fucre."
The girls plea was extortion. pure
and simple. he declared, with Ethel
Conrad, "a wildcat and kitten" as the
prime mover.
He said the whole episode was a
Matchmaking scheme and heaped all
the blame on Miss Conrad, whom he
described as "the most remarkable
woman l have ever met, the most as
founding combination of wildcat and
kitten the world has known in many
years-and only nineteen years old"
