The verdict was returned very
soon after the case was given to The
jury. Only one ballot was taken.
I'VE find" the jury stated in the
verdict, "the. evidence admitted b..
the plaintiff entirely insufficient
upon which TO base suit ard
should even wholly exonerate the de-
feadant, and had the defendant, at
.he conclusion of the plaintiffs evi-
dence announced that he desired to
introduce no evidence and rested

been the same in that event as re.
turned by us in favor of the defend

Church OF HOLY
ROLLERS BURNED
BY EXCITED MOB
Members Arrested and Five Are
Convicted Of Beating Two
Little Boys.
ITO DRIVE SIN AND
DEVILS OUT OF THEM'
Only Sin Boys Said Was Failure to
Attend Church Regu-
larly.
"T0 DRIVE SIN AND
DEVILS OUT OF THEFT"

Newton, Ill.,, Feb. 1S.--The burn
ing cf the Springs Holmes church,
the wholesale arrest Of its memGe
and the conviction of five more per-
sons, were today's developments in
r :, 1Hi mob action
against the band of religious fam
lpowl as the lioly Rollers,
ar here.
The trial is the outgrowth of q
special service OF the church a week
q . at which, it is alleged two little
boys were tied hands and feet, and
after q vote of the congregation
were beaten with sticks and leather
straps until their backs bled.
These fanatics, it is charged, took
this means of driving "sin and the
devil out of the boys" The little
fellows, nine and twelve years Old,
said the sin with which they were
charged was failure to attend the
church regularly.
The church OF the recently or
ganized sect, was found burned 10
the ground early this morning. 1t
is presumed ,that the mob which
yesterday was frustrated in its ef-
forts to lynch the pastor of the
chulch. and three others, charged
with the attack upon the boys, vent
ed their wrath on the Holy Rollers
by burning the church.
Today, Mrs. Rosa Jecks, Frank
Emery ana his wife, Ellen Lyons
and Harold Qrmmins were found
guilty of being accessories to the
attack upon the boys. Each OF thc
first named were fined $S5 and costs
and the two others $G5 and costs
each.
The feeling here is high against
the now sect and the determination
to rid the community of all its be-
levers was apparent during tho
trial.
