hours,
The verdict of not guilty was re-
turned at sos a. M, after a crowd of
lawyers, relatives, friends and curious
persons had kept an all-night vigil
In the courtroom.
A remarkable scene took place
when the foreman announced the
verdict that cleared Mrs. Eaton Of the
charge of having poisoned her hus-
band with arsenic at their home in
Assinippi, Mass.
The acquitted woman rose to her
feet and, gripping the hands of her
lawyers, exclaimed in a shaken
voice: Thank God! have the best
lawyers in MASSACHUSETTS,"
About zoo persons were in the
nounced. In spite or a previous warn
ing from the bench, the spectators In
the rear of the room rose in their
seats and started to cheer when the
defendant was acquitted.
Almost Immediately Mrs. Eaton,
accompanied by her lawyers, left the
courthouse. With all possible dis
patch Mrs. Eaton left for Assinippi to
rejoin her aged mother, Mrs. Vir-
gina Harrison, and her daughter,
Dorothy Eaton.
Delay Worried watchers.
About O'Clock unwonted activity
in the jury room Indicated that a de-
cision had been reached. This shook
the sleep from the eyer Of the patient
watchers, and the seats in the court
room were soon fillei. A message
was dispatched to Judge Aiken at his
home, and within a short time the
jurist had taken his place upon the
bench.
Mrs. Eaton. who had spent the night
tossing upon a pallet in the executive
chamber of the judge, was aroused
and led into the courtroom. Although
pale, she showed great composure,
reiterated declarations by her Lawyers
that she would be acquitted Her
paleness was accentuated by her
black dress, but she showed no out
ward agitation.
Stiffness Greets Verdict.
Absolute quiet prevailed while the
court pat the question as to whether
or not the jurors had agreed upon
verdict and as to it's nature.
The foreman Of the jury replied,
Not guilty" and then sat down.
The stiffness for a few moments re-
manned unbroken. In the dim light OF
the lamps, for dawn had not yet bro
ken, the figures in the room sat mo-
tionless. Then the overstrained feel
ings gave way.

A crusade of determination against the
squirrels Is urged.
City park employees back up Mcclure.
A number OF them say they have seen

GIRL SAVES MAN FROM WOLVES.
PlucI<y Young Woman Rescues an
ImperiIsd Hunter.

Latrobe, Pa, Dec. 16.-Going to the aid
of a man who had been trapped In a
cave by a pack OF timber wolves. Miss
Marie Louise Walker, OF Latrobe. who
is visiting relatives In Wyoming, stood
OF the attack of the wolves and drove
them away with a rife, according to
story received here. Eleven of the wolves
were killed before the pack beat a re-
treat
Miss Walker, who was spending her
Thanksgiving vacation at the ranch,
heard the bowling Of the wolves while
hunting. She dismouuted from her horse
when she neared the cave around which
the wolves had gathered and the mount
took fright and galloped away. The man
in the cave was 7. Adolph Van Camp,
Of Chicago, who had become lost in the
darkness while tracking deer the night
before and had taken refuge In the cave
from the wolves.
The hunter had ben nearly frozen
from exposure during the night and was
assisted by Miss Walker to a nearby
deserted miners cabin. The girl then
tramped three miles through the snow
TO the nearest ranch and summoned med
ical aid. 1t was feared at first that Van
Camp would have to have both feet am
putated on account OF the freezing.
Miss Walker has the pelts Of five Of
the wolves that she killed and that were
not devoured by the PACK.

CANCER CURED
In TW 0 DAYS
Radium's Wonderful Effect
Is Related by Two
Physicians.

L.. al 4.
TELL OF EXPERIMENTS
Ten Years Study Leads to Deelara-
don that Disease Is
Curable.

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-Cancer is cur
able and cancerous grewths which had
resisted every other treatment invented
by science, have been cured in forty
eight hours by the marvellous properties
Of radium.
Proofs Of these epoch-making state
ments, covering ten years experiments
ana practice In curing cancer with rad
1um, were submitted tonight to the
Philadelphia College of Physicians by
DR.. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore, and
DR.. Robert Able, Of New York.
The power Of the rays Of radium over
cancer is not only wonderful it is ap-
palling, almost unbelievable said Dr.
Kelly in exhibiting photographs Of
patients.
You see here the picture of Uncle
john an old man who came to US from
Missouri
The photograph showed the patient.
Uncle john" to have terrifying, can
cerous growths on the forehead. chin,
and neck.
I'VE put the radium tube on, and after
its application for an hour Uncle John
told us his growths were getting small
Ter.
I'VE laughed at him and told him it
was his imagination.
But next morning the improvement
was such that we could see il. too. And
the day after, or within forty-eight hours
after the radium was applied, the growths
were gone, leaving a perfect. smooth,
healthy tissue. l could hardly believe my
eyes.
Another case i wish to mention was
that of a rich Mexican woman She was
SO wealthy that everybody in Mexico City
was in awe of her. The physicians in
terror said: She has cancer; don't tell
her BY not telling her, they permitted
her case to become so aggravated that
when she was brought to me I hesitated
10 operate. But I did operate, and then
applied radium, which, like a million
knives, went into the roots OF the disease
and cut II out as no knife could. And the
woman was cured, and is well to this day.
or four years after the operation.
The one thing We must disabuse our
minds OF is the old idea that tumors are
terrible Affections of the human race
which cannot be cured" said Dr. Able.
In my treatment Of tumors with radium,
have found that tumors are not such
terrors, but merely weak cells, which,
by their weakness, have become riotous
When they are stimulated with the CANA
rays OF radium, they become normal and
behave again like normal, healthy cells
Apply the radium for half an hour and
leave it alone. Do nothing more with il.
In two weeks there is an improvement.
In four weeks the cure is complete"
