NOT GUILTY
MRS. OLA VANCE SET FREE BY
JURY.
WEST SIDE FRIENDS SHOW IN
TEREsT N LONG TRIAL.
MRS. VANCE DEFENDED BY FORM
ER STATES ATTORNEY, F. L
BARNETT.

Mrs. Ola Vance, who was charged
with the murder Of her husband, Hurley
Vance, was acquitted after q three
days trial by q jury's verdict of "not
guilty" returned into Judge Melon
AIDS Court last Saturday morning.
This was the last act Of q tragedy
which has Oceasioned q great amount Of
interest in West Side circle Of Chicago
COlOred people for nearly two years
past.
Mr.. Hurley Vance and his wife were
wen known Colored residents Of Chi
eago for many years. Mr.. Vance was
prominent Pythian, and member Of
other local organizations while his wife
was prominent in social and charitable
work. OF refined and gentle manner,
Mrs. Vance had the sympathy Of many
close friends, who knew that she suf
fered greatly from domestic troubles
but which were kept hidden from the
public until the midnight tragedy
which disclosed that Hurley Vance had
been shot in the face and was lingering
between life and death at the Cook
County Hospital and his wife was ~
der arrest, charged with assault with
intent to kill and murder.
Friends Of Mrs. Vance at once went
to her rescue and she was set at liberty
under heavy bail, to await the result
Of the wound upon her husband. A
soon as she was released, Mrs. Vance
went to her husbands bedside at the
hospital and It was plain that though
he was wounded unto death, he had no
.vindietive feeling against his wife. He
asked her to take him home again and
she applied for permission to do 90,
but the hospital authorities said he
was to i'll to be moved, 80 she watched
by his bedside almost constantly until
death closed the chapter Of their mar.
risd life.
1fA Vance was again arrested and
charged with murder, but was again
released On bond with Mr.. Geo. o..
Jones and Mr.. Samuel Amos as sureties.
The ease, after being called several
times, finally went to trial Wednesday
Of last week and was one Of the bitter.
est contested legal battles affecting
Chicago cOlOred people for many years.
NrA. Vance was defended by former
Assistant States Attorney ?. L. Bar
nett and the States Attorneys once
was ably represented by Mr.. Hayden

PREACHER Is FIRED.
BETHELHEM BAPTIST CHURCH
WINS BOTH BATTLES. CoNGRE-
CATION INCORPORATES UNDER
THE STATE LAWS.

A Jealous congregation Of church
people organized three years ago under
the name Of Bethlehem Baptist Church
won two victories last week, one in the
Civil Court and the other in the Crimi-
nal Court. The result Of the double

that church and prevent him from using
the church name again in his own work
and also to hold intact for the treasury
Of that church S5O0.Oo; for which
there was q dispute between two fac
tions Of the church. The brother johnson
faction was not only fred, but lost its
name As we'll The church proper is
under the Passionate Of Rev. W. N. Ven
able and Everett J. Turner, church
clerk. The johnson faction was repre-
Beutsd by ". g. Anderson, while r. L
Barnett and ". N. Smith were the
lawyers for the church.
The frSt case was . civil matter in
Judge McGOOrty'B court. The johnson
faction by . bin in ehanesry tried to
prevent the majority Of the church from
occupying the church building and from
using the church name. The church
faction in their cross bin charged that
brother johnson had been fred from
the battlements Of the church and that
be had no suthority to use the church
or its name. Judge MeGoorty decided
in the favor Of the church people and
bnother johnson and his faction was
put out Of business. Recognising their
defeat the johnson faction incorporated
under another name and ID doing buui-
ness At another stand.
In order 10 secure the possession Of
the money which was held By the
church, brother johnson sWors out 4

Brother Enze's trial took all Wednes-
day afternoon before Judge Ryan, who
finally decided that brother Enze was
not guilty Of any offense. He was
simply an honest and fearless custo-
dian Of the money who dared to go
to jail in the discharge Of his duty.
He refused to give up the money and
the court Judgment declared he was
right. About fifty members Of the
Baptist Church were present
when the decision was rendered, and
their Joy knew no bounds. Some thank
ed the Lord, some thanked the Judge
and others thanked the lawyers. But
