FIND AGED MISER
DEAD IN A SHACK
Two Suspects Held Pending In
vestigating of Case at
Mantle, Ill.

Mantle, Ill, Dec. 6.-Hugh White, a
70-year-old jeweler who was reputed to
be a miser, was found dead yesterday
in the rear room of the little shack
which he used for an Office and home
Whether he was the victim of robbers
or sustained a fall that caused his
death has not been determined. His
body was doubled up and lying on
pile of coal.
Physicians say two wounds, one over
the right temple and another between
the eyes, were severe enough to have
caused death. Two suspects are held
pending the coroner's inquest today.
The old man, a cripple, was known
to have much gold about the tumble
down shop. In the cash drawer under
his work bench was found S4O705,
nearly all in bills. To many he had
shown a can of gold and it is believed
that, if the old man was murdered, the
slayer took the gold and did not look
for any other money.
Believers in the theory that the
aged man may have struck his head
on an old stove when he tripped and
fell base their belief on their knowl-
edge that he was a whisky drinker
He is supposed to have died after $50
Thursday evening, as he had not
prepared for bed and his front door
was unlocked. The shop-keeper next
door discovered the body and found
the rear door partly open.
White had been resident of Man
tic for 10 years, but at times appeared
on the streets only once month. He

Mrs. Anne Stadfeld, Mrs. Alma Wal

Mrs. Kate Wagner was acquitted as
was expeeted, the States Attorney
having conceded that she was not
guilty Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson en-
braced each other on hearing the ver-
dict, while Captain" Emma Stadfield
stormed around the courtroom, de-
claring the verdict an outrage. Emil
Bolinger, Lake Forest, foreman of the
jury, said it was impossible under the
evidence to return any other verdict.
On receiving the verdict, Judge Don
nelly discharged the jury and ad-
journed court until Monday.
All of the five convicted are grand
mothers. with the exception of the cap
tain.
The jury went out at 4:30 yester-
day afternoon, following a bitter de-
nunciation of the rioters" by States
Attorney Ralph Dady.
Attorney Dady did not push the case
against Mrs. Kate Wagner. In his in
structions to the jury Judge Donnelly
declared it was immaterial whether
Mrs. Richardson was a true wife or
not, and cited the statute providing
punishment in the case that persons
assemble and do violence.
John ID. Pope, attorney for the de-
PENDANTS, limited repeatedly at the
question of faithfulness, and appealed
TO the unwritten law. He pointed to
the defendant grandmothers as church
members.
Attorney Dady likened Mrs. Rich
ardson to a social leper. declaring she
had been made such through humiIiat-
ing treatment at the hands of women.

ed, shaking his accusing finger at the
accused women, who covered beneath
his attack, do you professed church
members recall what Jesus said to the
woman who was brought before him
accused of misconduct? Shall we
stone her? asked the multitude. Let
the person that is without sin cast the
first stone.
Did you women let your victim 20
in peace? No; you treated her as you
wouldn't treat a dog" As he hurled
this taunt at the defendants, Mrs.

while tears also stood in the
eyes Of the jurors.
I'm not here to defend the charac-
ter OF Mrs. Richardson. These defend
ants are on trial for violating a law of
