JURY FINDS MRS. TELLERIC0
NOT GUILTY.; FREED LAST NIGHT
GOES TO HOME OF FRIENDS
Husband Said to Be Anxious for Reconciliation; Woman
Thanked Deputy Sheriifs or Kindness Extended Her
In JAIL

her friends were Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Viola and Mr.. and Mrs. J. Falsetti,
who through the trial were always
eager to help her.
Her husband, Frank, did not leave
the building while the jury was delib-
Grating. He, too, was deeply inter-
ested in the case. He wants to rejoin
his wife. He is eager to repent. He
has their son, Tony, 2 years Of age.
Their other child, 9-months old boy,
is at county institution in Duluth.
Thought of Son.
While the jury was considering her
case, Mrs. Telerico was in the sher-
ifs Office. She was worried, but had
her son at her side. Together, they
ate out Of tin pail, which contained
Mrs. Telerico's dinner.
"In case l am convicted l want to
take Tony with me" ;" said Mrs. Teller
leo to John Manella, an interpreter.
"Why waste this food. There will
always be enough for both of u.s.
Mrs. Telerico has been in custody
since Aug. 2, the day she killed
her father-in-law and also attempted
to take the life of her husband. Had
she been forced to go to the state
penitentiary at Saltwater, she would
have died in year. This was Z
prediction made by an official who
has followed her case from the start.
Mrs. Telerico is q small woman,
like the majority Of natives Of south
ern Italy. She has large Laands and
it is evident she has toilM hard for
several years. Her friends believe
she will rejoin her husband. He will
have to repent for his past actions
toward her.. She loves her children
and her thoughts haye always besn
of them. :.: =s :.:5s := 81 . z.Szs4 $3.50

Don't you fool yourself with the idea

tongue and furrowed brow, directed
the envelope to "Anson Burritt, Den

Pete emerged from his hiding place

when the train had gained some

brand-new valise, which two hours be-
fore had hung from the front of a
trunk store in Denmark while the

now weighted with two bricks and Sc

with pleasant face and large gray

word like second Desdemona.
"Only SIX" said Pete modestly.
Miss Towners gave little cry and
Eleeza Wouters gasped. Miss Wouters
was stout and forty, and her red face
fairly glistened her interest in Pete's

length the faint murmur of the two
women's conversation ceased and,
shading his lamp with his hand, Pete
explored the mysteries Of the hall.
The next room, evidently that Of
his host, contained, in addition to the
ordinary furniture of a bedroom,
small safe and roll-top desk. By
force of habit Pete whipped out his
knife and forthwith attacked the lock
of the desk. It yielded almost imme.

papers in the pigeonholes.

dollars by process of interest on in

promissory notes for varying amounts.
Pete thrust all of them, together with
the correspondence, into his breast
pocket.
Thence he passed to the perusal of
other letters. So interested was he
in the tales of usury they recounted
that he entirely failed to notice the
light creak of footstep on the stair
outside. Nor did he so much as lift
his eyes from the absorbing page until
a cold sensation in the back of his
neck made him straighten up

He was short and thin, as becomes
a porch-climber, and when he spoke
he thrust his chin forward after the
fashion of Chatham square.
"Oh. it amt loaded, amt it?" Pete
jeered, and stepped back nimbly.
The next moment two dull smacks
announced the impact of Peta's left
and right on Hole-in-the- Cheeks jaw.
1t was clean knockout, and the yegg-
man crumpled up on the. carpeted
floor.
Pete stood over him with his eyes
ablaze.

ssaid bitterly, addressing the PROSTATE
and unconscious burglar. Couldn't
take de hint when chalked it up on

Vigorously he jerked the sheets
from Hiram Towners' bed and ripped
them into long strips with his jack
knife. Never was there so complete
job of trusting as Pete made of it.
When he finished Hole-in-the-C Cheek

himself luxuriously.

protector Of China against what they

Dangerous Nonsense.
The roots of this dangerous nom
sense Of our being the natural pro-
tector Of China run back into the
distant past, to the days when the
New England clipper ships traded
so probably with China, and brought
back such cupidity-stirring tales of
the fabulous wealth OF the far East.
Thanks to that foolish legislation

took away protection from our mer-
chant marine, our ships disappear
ed from the seas, but the memory
OF those Chinese profits and the
stories of Chinese commercial posi-
bilities persisted. But what are the
cold facts. The foreign trade OF
Latin America Is eighteen times
greater than that OF China, and the
foreign trade of Argentina alone al
most equals that Of China and Japan
put together, and Furthermore, 1t is
increasing at a greater rate.
