 Of White Plains Girl

The Bridgeport police received from Chief John H. Harmon of the White Plains police department. today, a let ter informing them of the detention there of a girl of IS about whose tden- tity there is much mystery. She is in a hospital and is unable to tell who she is or anything abouV herself.
 Clad better than the average work ing girl and with evidence of refine ment ,she is proving a genuine mye- tery for the White Plains police. She has one gold tooth on the upper jaw. near the front of the mouth. The Qo- lice say she weighs abowt 120, has light hair and blue eyes, and is attractive The only clue to her identity was a scrap of paper that bore the address Lillian Birch, 325 Cor 316)' Twenty sixth street" Investigation Of this address in New York failed to solve the mystery.

Word was received by Chief of Po- lice Robbins in this town today that George Panus, who was arrested by request of the St. Louis police was not wanted It. appears that Frank Pants whom the police have been looking for went to St. Louis and was arrested by the police of that place. Both of the men were wanted for highway rob- bery which they committed in that city some weeks ago. The person from whom the goods were taken did not wish to press the charges and the men were allowed to go. Panus left town this morning for the west where he stated that he had position wait ing for him..
 A man giving the name of Frank Tn hoInas fell from a pole on which he was working the Bridgeport road this morning. Thomas was replacing g a wire for the Western Union Tele- graph com pany and in some unknown way slipped and fell to the ground, a distance of about 12 feet In falling he landed on his head and received a number of cuts Thomas got aboard a Bridgeport trolley and stated that he would have the wounds treated by a physician in that city,

MONEY ORDERS CANI
 BE CASHED SAME AS| DRAFTS ON BANKS

Washington, Feb. 7-By President Wilson's signature the bill to regulate the payments of postal orders became a law of the land. The new statute will not become effective, however, until rules are promulgated by the Postmaster General. This will prob ably require several months.
 The bill provides for the issuance of postal money orders payable at any money order office, even though drawn on specified office. and will, accord ing to the Postmaster General, prove a great help to the business public, giving, as it does, to the postal money order the virtues and convenience of a bank draft.
 Figures made public today by the Postmaster General show that in the last fiscal year nearly 91,o0O,O0o do- cestic money orders were issued, amounting to almost $625, ,o0O. The net income to the Post Office Depart
 nent on account of money orders is- sued was more than $5,00O,00O. At present there are more than 56,0OO money order offices in the United. States.

JURY FINDS FRENCH GUILTY OF
MANSLAUGHTER IN THIRD DEGREE
Were Out All Night Before Agreement Was Reached
IT'S Said That Two Stuck for Murder Verdict.
Motion for New Trial Entered
Hearing March IL.

road between Prairie du CHEN and
East Dubuque. The slaughter was
APPALLING.
After the verdict had been recorded
alto rneys for the defendant fled the
usual motions for new trial and for
the parole of the defendant. In CON
sideriug these motions the court said,
in part:
"Now something has been said in
this case that would indicate to an
ordinary listener that this jury had
determined that he had intended to
kill Murphy. There isn't particle
of evidence in this case that will
sustain any such contention. Be-
cause there was not particle of evil
dence in this case that would war
rant the jury in finding that the de-
PENDANT intended to kill Murphy, /
purposely put aside murder in the
first degree, which is the killing
with intent, and submitted to the
jury murder in the second degree and
manslaughter in the third degree as
the only degree Of felonious homicide
they should consider in this case.
None of the 10 jurymen that found
that verdict, venture to state, for q
moment thought that whoever de-
livered that kick intended to kill the
man that was kicked; no more than
if man bad been pushed with the
hand and had dropped of, that the
one who gave the push intended to
kill him.
1t is no different, so far as the
intent is concerned, than would be
the case If man were taking down
chimney in a houss along the
street where he ought to have known
people might be walking and had
carelessly thrown brick or bricks
over an7s Internationally a man was
killed. 1t would be careless act,
an unlawful act under the oitcum
stances, but not an act indicating in
the least the intention to kill. Now
there is not particle of evidence in
this case that would warrant the
jury or the court in saying that MIR.
French had the remotest idea that,
in kicking that man as the jury
found he did kick him. he intended
to kill him. The kicking was I'M
lawful 1t would have been an IN
lawful act to push him, and if death
unfortunately resulted the death in
a sense was accidental; but the per
son who gave the kick or the push
was responsible. because the parti
cular thing done by him resulted in
death.
The court will sit here on the 18th
day of March. When that day comes
the court will hand down it's de-
termination upon the motions made
and at the same time determine
whether this defendant should be
sentenced to Waupun OF paroled under
the parole law. In the meantime
prisoner will go upon his bail.
