Says No Crime Was Committed.

The Supreme Court one day last
week rendered decision in the ia
nous Annapolis rape eases, reversing
the verdict OF the Iron County circuit
court. This ruling resulted in the
discharge from penitentiary sentences
OF five OF the young men who were
convicted Of completely in the alleged
crime. Commissioner Roy, upon
whose finding the Supreme Court
based its reversal Of the verdict of the
lower court, says there was no sub
staWlal evidence in the record to indi-
cate that there was a crime commit
ted. The alleged otiense is said to
have taken place near Annapolis, in
Iron County, October 10, 1912. the
story being tnat MIs. Lille Mullane,
who was tramping along the railroad
with her husband, was set upon by a
gang OF young men, the husband run
off and the woman taken to a nearby
barn, where she was held for some
time and repeatedly ass auited. Com
missioner Roy says in his report that the
woman could ct any time have sum
mOned assistance by raising ali out
cry had she not been willingly sub
misSive to her alleged assailants. The
men who We're convicted and will he
discharged under tbs Supreme Court s
ruling are: IRA Hobinson, sentenced
TO two years; Charles Dunn, two years;
William Brewer, five years; Charles
Middleton, eight years, and Charles
Paris, five years.

Rumor Has It That Clubs Will
Carry as Many Players as
They Wish Now.

pETROIT. Mich. Feb. o3--IU is being
vrispered in American league circles,
ana has been announced by at least one
National league manager. that the big
shows" will not regard the as-men rule
this summer.
George T. Staliings OF the Boston
Braves was the first man TO drop the
hint that such a plan was proposed.
George is authority for the statement
that his league will pay absolutely no
attention to any limit this year. but will
permit club owners to hang on to all
the men they care to pay.
This is aimed at the Federals, the
icea being not to turn any players
loose who might be shared by the out
laws" OF course not many big lesguers
are let go entirely once they sign up.
