By Judge Tuttle

writings, brought dissension into num-
erous prominent homes in Ypsilanti,
Mich, and caused unending scandal.
Is just as much OF a mystery today as
1t was before the government began
it's investigation. Mrs. Margaret Nc
Cready, Ypsilanti nurse, who had been
on trial for q week In the United

thur ]. futile and jury, accused OF
having written and mailed the letters,
was found not guilty, the jury agree
ing on verdict at 4:2O o'clock, FRI
day afternoon. The verdict was de-
livered about five minutes later. The
jury had been out since shortly be-
fore i o'clock, but a portion of the
time was devoted to lunch.
The length OF time the jurors had
deliberated, their solemn faces as
they filed into the dim court room,
and the fact that they had found It
necessary to have brought into the
jury room for further examination the
evidence in the case, were taken as
unfavorable indications for the de-
Tense, even by Frank II. Watson, at
torney for Mrs. McCready. The &C.
cused woman had collapsed soon az
ter the jury was charged, and was
taken into an ante-room, where a ply
sician attended her. throughout the
time the jury was considering her
fate. When the word came that q
verdict had been reached. Mrs. Nc

Mrs. McCready sank into her chair,
with her pallid face turned towards
the men who had decided whether
she was guilty or innocent. Then her
head sank into her arms, and she
moaned. When the usual formalities
had been gone through, and the fore
mans words, mot guilty" were
spoken In loud tones, cheers and Joy
GUS sobs arose in noisy unison. Judge
Tuttle and court attendants promptly
hammered for order and cnoked on
any further demonstration. DR.. Har-
per, who had sat by his sister
throughout the trial, raised one hand
high In the air. when he heard the
words. mot guilty" said. "Oh." and
then twined his arm about his sis

q moment after she had heard the
verdict. and then tainted. She was
revived and little more than a half
hour after she had been declared In
nooent, she left for Ypsilanti.
Among those who rushed forward
to congratulate Mrs. McCready were
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Killian. and Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Leas. who received

fed In the trial. James Clark, Ypsi
