fiendish manner, early today. Her
body, bearing Sc wounds evidently
made by stilletto. but still with a
breath of life, was found in a va

without having regained enough con-
seriousness to identify her slayer with
more than the explanation that he
was "a man."
The girl was one of four children
of Edward Connors shipping clerk
On Saturday afternoon, she visited
Croten park, where she played ball
with a number of other girls. Sud
denly she was missed from the game

of the SO wounds was a stab in the

he began to stumble in his answers, and
at last, with the long-pent-up tears let

Immediately after he had told his story
to the captain, Jimmie was turned over
to Mr.. Mullen, who is assistant clerk to

him in the clutches of the law. Mrs.

Jimmie, whose age prevents his being
locked UP, passed the night at the home
of Mr. Mullen, but he was allowed to
visit his mother and father a short time
before he was put to bed.

Trial of William
LOrimer Nears End.

Washington, July 6.-The final stage
of the second trial of William Lori

procuring his election to the United

tered upon in the Senate, Saturday,
with general debate.
1t had been agreed to vote on the
case during 1.-THE Legislative day of

Saturday, and the Senate recessed it's

prospect that a vote would not be
reached until the latter part of next

right to his seat, while Myers of Mon

instalment of long speech and viii

himself to an effort to demonstrate
that Lorimer had not been candi-
date for the Senate until after the
senatorial deadlock on the Illinois
Legislature had continued for more
than four months and until it looked
as if there might be an adjournment
without action.
He gave an elaborate account of politi-
cal conditions in Illinois and after un-
dertaking to show that the Democrats
would not support the reelection OF Sem
ator Hopkins. said that they would be
willing to turn to Lorimer, because OF
their personal regard for him. He SAID
I,orimer had thought he could be OF
greater use in the House than in the
Senate.
McCumber's speech was caustic. He
took the position that the Senate was
unfit to try such a case because OF the
popular prejudice against Lorimer ana
because OF the influence that popular
sentiment would have on votes lie de-
clared there should be an amendment TO
the Constitution relieving the Senate OIL
the necessity of passing on cases IN
volying charges against its members.
McCumber charged that the popular
sentiment against the Illinois senator
was due to ignorance on the subject.
