Many at Arraignment.
When the couple were arraigned a
few minutes before o'clock Thursday
afternoon in Justice w. J. Berry's
court, a large crowd of people were
attracted to the scene through morbid
curiosity The word that the prisoners
were being taken to the justice court
for arraignment spread quickly and
the two rooms of the court. the stair
way leading to them and the street
in front were packed with people
anxious to get glimpse of the young
people. They were taken to and from
the place in Sheriff Knox's car and
were accompanied by Sheriffs Knox
and Grimes, Deputies Morrissey and
Richards.
After being brought into the room
and seated the court waited for fully
ten minutes for the noise of shuffling
feet to quiet so that the charge might
be read. The instrument as read to
Mccormick and Mrs. Mccullough
charged them with murder and that
they had feloniously and with intent
to commit robbery, killed l. w. Mellott
on October 6, 1914. and that said kill.
ing had been deliberate and nremedi.
tated' Young Mccormick s attorney
stated that he would waive to the
grand jury and the woman answered
in the same manner 1t was with no
little difficulty that the officers made
their way down the stairs to the wait
ing car. People had gathered in the
street until Market street was filled al
most across it's entire width and part
of the crowd had overflowed into Com.
mercial street. After the party had
entered the car some of the more
curious began climbing on the rear
and side parts Of the machine and
every one was jostling everyone else
in an effort to see the prisoners. Both
of them appeared to be nervous at the
arrangement, with the young man the
more quiet of the two.

CHICAGO DAILY
MARKET NOTES

Sentiment among the grain trade
last night was mixed. AS one operator
put it, the export and speculative buy
ing is not large enough to carry prices
higher in the face of local realizing. 1t
must not be overlooked, however, that
so long as war continues there will be
little disposition to sell short, which
makes the market susceptible to sharp
breaks at times. Bulls are keeping
long little grain all the time except
ing that ultimately prices will work
higher. Wheat traders said export
houses had taken the offerings by local
longs and they predicted higher prices
for today.
Those who are bearish on oats say
there must be further decline before
there is any good on the bull side. The
price of Canadian oats Of soc free on
board New York mentioned yesterday
was in bond and for export. To do
mesticate the oats it would cost &c
more, making them SEC Milwaukee is
said to have sold 100000 blu 36-lb clip
ped oats to Baltimore yesterday at ACC.
This is lower than any other market.
Chicago offered 3S-lb oats to Balti-
more at 2hc over December.
Sales of cash wheat to exporters at
Chicago yesterday were 10000 blu, and
to mills $4,000 bu; corn 285,OO0 bu do
mestic and oats 100000 bu to exporters
and 245,000 bu domestic. Seaboard re-

Afraid Of Spies.
All England is bussing now with
talk of the spy menace, the papers
editorially and otherwise dwelling on
the presence of Germans at the hotels
are urging closer restrictions. What
is said to be spy dressed in Belgian
uniform has been arrested among the
refugees arriving from Belgium. II
! Germans Expect Fight. y
London, Oct. photographic from
Copenhagen, correspondent of the
Central News declares that message
received there from Berlin sets forth
that the country is awaiting with the
greatest interest further news of the
German advance towards Ostend. It
is believed, however, that Ostend will
not be taken without exceedingly
heavy fighting, and that the British
evidently intend to bring some OF their
dreadnoughts into the action. The
Germans assume that the outcome of
such action will be a diaa ppointment
to England. ~
