WASHINGTON, March 14.-Formal
announcement of the engagement of
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, daugh-
ter of the President and Mrs. Wilson,
to William Gibbs McAdoo relieved to-
day the suspense Washington official
and society circles has been under for
some days. Prospects for another
White House wedding had been the
all-absorbing topic of conversation In
social circles here, and formal an
nouncement was awaited with Keen
interest.
Intermittent rumors of the engage
ment of the Presidents youngest
daughter to the secretary of the treas
ury had been current ever since the
latter was a dinner guest at the White
House Just before the marriage of
Miss Jessie Wilson to Francis B.
Sayre. The fact that Miss Wilson
and Mr.. McAdoo had been seen to-
gether at dances and social functions
lent credence to the rumors. No con-
firmation nor denial was given of the
rumors, and gossip in society circles
persisted with more or less frequency
until the President and Mrs. Wilson
made the forma announcement of the
engagement from the White House
last night Today all speculation re-

was only what was due me-"
More than this she would not say.
In finding Mrs. Pollard not guilty
the Jury apparently was not i'm
pressed by the expert testimony Pros
ecutor Stein brought in to show the
similarity between the letter on which
Mrs. Pollard was indicted last Novem-
Der and letters which she admitted
writing on her typewriter.
At O'clock when the jury went to
supper the vote was eight for acquit-
tai and four for conviction. At 1880,
however, when the verdict was an
nouneed the four jurors who voted for
conviction had been convinced. 1t is
said that although the poison pen"
letter may have been written on Mrs.
Pollard's typewriter 1t was not writ
ten by her.
Samuel Schleimer, counsel for Mrs.
Pollard, in summing up used dramatic
language in dilating on the impossi-
bility of a woman of Mrs. Pollard s
character, education and station
being guilty of such an act as writing
a poison pen" letter. So intense was

Prosecutor Stein asserted the jury
should not permit sentiment to inter-

Evidence All CircumstantiaI.
In his charge to the jury, which
went out at twenty minutes to three,
Judge Connolly said the evidence in
the case was wholly circumstantial.
He mentioned the expert testimony
that had been adduced, and asked
the Jurors not to take into account
the tits between counsel that had
occurred during the trial.
Mrs. Pollard maintained her COM
posture as she waited for the jury to
return with its verdict. Mrs. Jones
and members of her family sat only
few feet away from the accused
woman. but she affected not to see
them. 1t was not until the jury came
back and announced she had beer
found not guilty that Mrs. Pollard s
demeanor changed Then she gave a
long sigh of relief and a broad smile
overspread her face
Mrs Pollard was arrested on May
81 last year The poison pen" letters
had been received by many people in
town for several years. The Joneses
got several and began Investigations
which led to Mrs. Pollard. She was
indicted for sending one letter to Mrs
Charles Jones and a Federal charge
for a letter to DR.. Charles Schlichter
was also presented.

garding the engagement was set at
rest when the fact became generally
known here.
The engagement, however. continued
to be a subject of conversation in
society circles. especially among the
close friends of the couple. 1t is the
most important to be announced here
since the Sayre- Wilson engagement
of last June from the White House.
The high position occupied by Mr..
McAdoo lends additional interest to
the engagement.
With all doubt as to the engage
ment removed, gossip in society cir
cles naturally turned to the probable
date of the next White House we'd
ding. Washington expects 1t to occur
in June, but the date has not been
announced. At least twice in It's his
tory have weddings taken place in
the White House in the late spring
