GUNMEN's CASE
IN JURY'S HANDS
Quartette Accused of the Actual Muir;
der Of RosenthaI Confident Of
Acqufttal.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Nov 19.-With the
evidence complete, the arguments OF
both sides spread on the records, and
Justice Golf charging the jury, inter
est in the verdict in the trial Of the
four alleged gunner for the killing OF
Gambler Herman Rosenthal was in
tense today.
A verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree was expected by the gen
eral run of court officers and attor-
neys who followed the case. They be-
lieved that Moss had torn down the
barriers raised by the defense in his
analysis Of the story presented by
the gunner and that the jury would
finally SO decide
The four accused were supremely
confident, when brought into court
today to listen to the charge Of JUS
tice Golf. They laughed and joked
with each other and professed to be-
lieve that by nightfall they would be
freed Their attorney, ex-Judge
Wahle, protested to be as confident
as they were, although he said he
feared that the jury might disagree.
~ think that we demonstrated that
these boys did not commit this crime, .
said Wahle. And believe they will
be acquitted. But there we're twelve
men to convince and you know what
trial juries are"
Justice Golf began his charge to the
Jury soon after court reconvened at
10: 80. He departed from the usual
procedure by reading summary Of
the evidence presented by both sides.
This was the same method he pursued
in the Becker case, with the exception
that in this instance the defense pre-
pared its own summary. Goff asked
Mcintyre, attorney for Becker, to
prepare one for him but that lawyer
refused and then complained that the
court had "misrepresented" him.
The summaries as read by the court
contained the salient points brought
out by each side and cleared up points
that had apparently been slurred over
during the examination of witnesses.

also use Keokuk labor as much as we
can. Any Keokuk man who wants a
job and has trade useful in putting
UP the hotel can get job on it. said

Declares at Hospital After Shooting
That Her Brother Had Told
Her to Find Another

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Nov. 19.-Mrs.
Eva Aubrey. wife OF Samuel Aubrey,
of Palmyra avenue, made desperate
attempt at o'clock last evening to
take her own life by shooting herself
through her lung, about two Inches
above the heart. The tragedy took
place on Palmyra avenue directly in
front OF Wards barber shop, Mrs.
Aubrey had been employed at the
Mark Twain hotel and 1t Is presumed
that she was on her way there to re.
sumo her duties. She met her little
niece on the avenue and gave her a
half dollar to deliver two messages,
one to her brother Grover French and
the other to her husband. Just as the
little girl had delivered the note to
Mr. Aubrey pistol shot was heard
and he was informed that his wife
had shot herself. When Mrs. Aubrey
gave the notes to her niece she kissed
her ana said You viii never see me
again" Just as she reached a point
in front Of Wards barber shop she
drew a revolver from her pocket and
fired two shots, one Of them entering
her left breast about two inches above
the heart and penetrating her lung.
The other shot went wide OF the
mark. The weapon was a hammer
less blue steel 32-calibre revolver but
where she obtained 1t no one seems
to know. She was rendered uncon-
scious and DR.. J. ]. Farrell was hast
lily called. DIT. Farrell examined the
wound, found 1t to be serious and or
dered her taken to the hospital and
he accompanied her there. He says
the wound is very serious but that he
cannot tell what the result will be
for at least twenty-four hours
Mrs. Aubrey had been separated
from her husband year or more,
spending part of the time in Keo-
kuk where she filed a suit for divorce
from her husband and the suit is now
1 pending In court. She returned to
Hannibal some time ago and since
then has been making her home with

distance from his brother-in-law.
When the husband was notified of
the shooting he fastened to her side
and accompanied her in the ambul-
ance to the hospital. He was terribly
worried over the tragedy and no one
was more surprised than he. 1t APP
pears that Mrs. Aubrey, who Is only
about twenty-one years old, Is subject
to spells and during the paroxysms
she Is not responsible for her actions.
Al note was found on her person after
she was taken to the hospital-unad-
dressed-telling her sister goodbye
which would indicate that she con.
templated taking her own life. After
being taken to the hospital and while
partially conscious she undertook to
tell why she committed the deed. She
said that her brother told her Sunday
night that she must find some other
home, and as she had no home she
became respondent.
