MALEY ACQUITTED I.
IN SECOND TRIAL
YOUNG cALESBuRG PHYSICIAN -
DISMISSED FROM WHITE
SLAVE CHARGE.

Keokuk, April 19.-Dr George
Maley of Galesburg, ILL.,, who wal
charged with violation of the Mann
white slave act, walked from the fed
eral court room Saturday afternoon q
free man. The jury which heard his
case, and which deliberated over its
findings for almost twenty-four hours
returned verdict at $3.50 of not guilty.
DR.. Maley left the same evening for his
home and Miss Katherine Chelsey, the
principal witness against him has re-
turned to Ottumwa, where she hay
been held as detained witness since
last July.
This was the second trial of the case,
the first having been heard last fall
before Judge Pollock, and which result.
ed in a hung jury. The jury reported
to Judge Wade Saturday at noon that 1t
stood seven to five. 1t reported further
progress at one o'clock and Judge
Wade sent the jurors back to further
consider the case.
1t was at $3.50 o'clock that the few
spectators and the attorneys in the
case were aware that the jury was
ready to report again. The verdict
which was signed by H. M. Pickell as
foreman, announced the acquittal of
the young Galesburg physician.
The case was given, to the jury at
6 o'clock on Friday night. At 1000
o'clock the jury retired for the night.
and early Saturday morning began its
deliberations again.
Arguments presented by counsel in
the Malley case were illustrative of the
versatility of the human mind and OF
how conflicting interpretations may be
given to the same state of facts. Con-
illusions drawn by counsel from the
evidence were in direct opposition. one
side claiming that it indicated guilt be-
You'd reasonable doubt and the other
that the testimony was proof OF limo
cence.
In their statements to the jury the
lawyers took great latitude in express
ing opinion of the effect of the testi.
mony and of the credence that should
be attached to 1t.
Counsel claimed that Miss Chelse1
had offered to compromise the case fo1
$500 and that later shenl ade and swore
to a statement at Galesburg to the eff
feet that Malley was in no wise TO
blame and was not with her at Burling-
ton. Counsel also read the letter that
Miss Chelsey wrote when she was de-
tanned at Ottumwa as a government
witness and in which she said that
Malley was not guilty. Twenty wit
nesses had established the defendants
abb and he could not be guilty IT the
crime charged unless all these wit
nesses had committed perjury.

Every boy insists on an excursion to

For Meg was made in Flanders, and
did much havoc at the siege OF Scot

and partly of iron. the great gun was
put together late In the fifteenth cen

it as the great iron murderer, Meg."

later it was banished from Edinburgh
to the Tower of London as useless

nance and patriotism in Mons Meg,
and persuaded the war office to send 1t
back to the castle.-London Chronicle.
