A crowd which rushed into the base

The news was telephoned to Frank,
and that day he was brought down.
town to discuss the matter with the
police. There was at that time no
suspicion that Frank might be the
murderer. He was asked whether or
not he knew the girl. Frank replied
promptly that he did: that she was
an extra employe of the factory. and
that on the previous day he had seen
her in the Office of the factory and
had paid her some money due her.
Frank said she had been laid off be-
cause of a shortage of material, and
that she had come to him on Saturday
afternoon. while he was at work on
the books, to get her pay and to
ask when she might be re-employed.
He said he paid her, that she left the

The charge is made that the Solici

Frank boarded, made a statement, tell

of the murder. A few days later her
husband prepared a statement in
which the woman was said to have

made an affidavit upholding her hus-

Herbert J. Haas, counsel for Frank,
charges that the prosecution appealed
to the passions of the people to get
a conviction, and that the jury was

Frank.
If Frank fails to get new trial
it is practically a certainty that he

end her life, the authorities closely
guarded the woman. Mrs. Guldberg
remained ut her home, but three young
ladies, especially deputized, did not al
low her to leave their sight for a
moment. Overwhelmed by the enorm-
ity of her offense, the notoriety and
disgrace which followed in the wake or
her arrest, the unfortunate woman be-
came deeply respondent, and all eff
forts to make her more cheerful were
unavailing. While her attorney was
making a fight to settle the case out
of court, Mrs. Guldberg was compelled
to remain in ignorance of her fate.
She refused to speak to her friends, &C.
cording to the authorities, and because
Of her continual brooding over her
plight, every precaution was taken
to avert any attempt at self-destruc-
ton. Yesterday County Attorney Fred
Vollmer announced that the charges
against the woman had been dropped
and the case settled out of court. The
