Chicago-Mrs. Rene B. Morrow was
found not guilty of the murder of her
husband, Charles B. Morrow, an in
ventor, b. jury In Judge Kersten's
court.
The verdict was returned after the
jury had deliberated three hours and
ten minutes.
The verdict Is said to have been
reached by the jury on the third bal
lot.
Half crying and half laughing with
excitement, Mrs. Morrow shouted: 81
knew it would be this way; l knew it
would hn this way"
She rs>se from her chair, and after
thanking each member Of the jury for
the verdict she left the court room
accompanied by several friends.
The body of Charles B. Morrow was
found On the back porch of the Nor.
row fiat at 4545 Michigan avenue the
morning of December 81, 1911. He
had been shot through the head and
through the heart, and the body when
found vas frozen rigid.
Suicide Verdict Found.
At his side was the revolver with
which he had been shot. At the in

jury rendered verdict of suicide
This verdict, however, was ques-
toned by the states attorney and an
fnvncti finn tn, no -
December 81 of Mrs. Morrow on the
charge of having murdered her hus-
band.
She was indicted by the grand jury
She was later released on $4,000 bail
furnished by her society and club
friends.
Since Mrs. Morrow's trial began
two weeks ago many wealthy society
women of the city have been present
at the court and followed the course
of the trial. The defense of Mrs. Nor
row was based on the double plea Of
suicide or murder by an unknown
party.
Couple Frequently ouarreIed.
The prosecution declared that Mrs.
Morrow had quarreled with her hus-
band and asserted that she was infat-
uated with Harry Gilmore, boarder
in the Morrow home.
Gilmore before the grand Jury had
declared tnat he was friendly with
Mrs. Morrow. His statement was
corroborated to a certain extent by
Esther Johnson and another woman
who had lived in the Morrow home.
The state had experts on the wit.
ness stand to show thta either one of
the shots fired into Morrow's body
would have killed him instantly and,
therefore, he could not have commit
ted suicide.

Of fast growing plant.
Mischievous. though tho African
prickly pear may be. It Is not without
its good qualities. Its juicy fruit.
though rather deficient In flavor, Is
delightfully."- cool and refreshing in the
dry heat Of summer. and a kind Of
treacle Is made from it.
Great caution must be exercised in
peeling this curious fruit. tho proper
way being to impale the fruit on
fork or stick while one cuts 1t open
and removes the skin. The individ-
