THREE BALLOTS TAKEN BY ANGLE JURY BEFORE
 VERDICT IS AGREED ON
First Vote Shows 10to Acquttal Second Stands II toI and the Third is Unanimous Jury Views Truck load of Exhibits During Its Deliberations


 It took three ballots for the jury to reach a verdict that cleared Mrs Hell slen M. Angle of the charge of causing the death Of Waldo E Ba1Iou.
 The first ballot stood ten to two for acquiftaL The second was eleven to one for acquittaL The third was un-. animous-
 The jury was out from 3:16 until : O clock The bell in the courthouse tower was ringing five when the. jury Knocked on the courtroom door and announced that a verdict had been reached.
 According to q story told The Far ner by one of the jurors, there was little or no argun1eI1t in the jury room. The ballots were tak ken with de1ibera- ton and intervals of about half an hour
 when the jury left the courtroom to begin it's deliberations, all the ex- hitits of the state were lugged in. These included the blood-stained gar nnents of the defendants; the bloody cloth that the state claimed was used to mop zup, the stairs and hallways the battered hat of the deceased and the electric fatiron that MT. Cummings had fitted into dent in the hat: the Broken wine bottle and the nnbroken whiskey bottle from which defendant and her deceased su5ter had drunk

s'The great Homer didn't put any, thing over on me- was the comment of Mrs. Helen M. Angle to reporters as she rode in the train to Stamford, al free woman.
 Mrs. Angle plainly was proud of her victory" in her battle with the law yers for the prosecution. She was at once smiling then fearful as she recounted her view of the trial that had Just resulted in her acquittaI
 Mr.. Cummings is hard man to face, " she continued, but wouldn't t have been afraid of him had I been in my usual health My daddy has shorp shooter with my tongue. This was one time when 1t was lucky for me that couldn't answer back.
 He didn't scare me. even if he did roll his great eyes at me, and try to make me contradict myself. Do you remember when he asked me if MT. Ba1Iou was not a hiEh-minded gen tleman and very agbstenious2 I said. What do you mean by the word a.b- stemious? Your definition and mine might not coincide
 T never thought much of my brain, but was able to keep up with Homer Cummings He got tired of me after seven hours of it. When I get well again. I can't imagine any thing I would rather do than meet him on the witness stand. He'd get enough of me in about three mfn- utes.
 The best proof of my innocence is that the jury were out such a short time, after the way MT. Cummings and the judge tried to warn them against nasty and i'll considered ac- tion- They weren't deceived by all that eloquence. They knew there was no real proof against me.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-03-20

pecia1Iy impressed with the stress laid upon the fact that Mrs. Angle took or her shoes and stockings before she removed her other clothing on the night of the accident or murder.
 After reading in the paper the account of the trial in which the incident of the shoes and stock ings was recIted, when [ got home at night, 1T asked my wife at which stage of the proceeding of disrobing she took off her shoes and stockings. I did not refer to the case when I asked the question. She promptly re- piled: usually take them off last, but when my feet hurt take them off the first thing.''
 Here Is one case, at least, in which the so-ea1Ied time -honored 7 rule' is broken. It seems to me that offering in evidence a GUS tom of women to rebut a sworn very persuasive It ought not to be difficult to find some women in Bridgeport who have sore feet and who therefore take off their shoes and stockings before they remove their other clothing. The news paper in which f read the ac- count of the trial said the result of the trial hung upon, the incl dent of the shoes and stoclxings The reasoning seemed to be that no woman ever took off her shoes and stockings before removing her other clothing upon preparing for bed, and therefore Mrs. Angle could not have done so. It would be impossible for the prosecution 70 establish the premises upon which such a proposition is based.
 Yours very truly.
 M. T. JONES. There are other opinions just decidedly in favor of the views Mr. Cummings.

GOOD LUCK, IS WOMEN'S CRY TO
 HELEN M. ANGLE
Crowd of Curious Gathers in Front of Courthouse as
 Singer Leaves for Home
BIG DEMONSTRATION
 WHEN SHE APPEARS
Assisted Into Auto By Her Aged Father, She Smiled
 Thanks to Large Crowd

The demonstration in the courtroom when Mrs. Helen NE. Angle was acquit- ted yesterday afternoon was rivaIed only by the demonstration osl tside the building when the defendant and her father started for the railroad sta ton
 When the news flashed from the courthouse that a verdict of acQuitta1 had been reached. a crowd of several hundred gathered in Golden Hill street between Main street and the court house. The spectators from the court house sweIled this number as they gathered along the curbs.
 All were waiting to catch glimpse of Mrs. Angle. It was several minutes before Mrs. Angle was taken to the sf1erins of1ce from the courtroom. There she was treated by doctors for half an hour before she felt able to leave the building.
 An automobile wh:r1ed up to the curb at the courthouse steps and wait ed. ''Here she comes,'s was the word that passed through the waiting crowd.
 A few minutes later Mrs Angle ap- peared at the court thouse door sOn one sideof her, supporting her. was her aged father. A woman newspaper writer had her arm about Mrs. An gle's waist. Mrs. Angle was barely able to walk to the waiting auto. AS Sl9 WI as nS4f9eQss 1I1IOe #In0 car, a cheer went up from the crowd Scores of women waved their handkerchiefs and shouted Good luck. and Mrs. Angle tried to smile her thanks at the demons
 At the railroad station, Mrs. Angle awaited her train on the platform. Scores of travellers viewed the little gathering with interest, as Mrs. Angle chatted with her father and newspa per reporters. A New Haven-bound train pulled in while she was on the platform, and a leather -Iunged passen- ger called out: How did the Angle case come out2'
 Mrs. Angle smiled as half a dozen tvoices shouted the information, sAc- quitted.''
 Mrs Angle rode in a chair car to Stamford. With her were her father, Judge Downs and a dozen reporters. She said she was going to spend the night at her fathers home and after . rest would go to her summer home in Maine.
 There was no one to meet the party at the Stamford station. Mrs. Angle
 and her father went to MT. BlondelI's
 home in a cab.

LETTERS TO LAWYERS PRESENT VIEWS ON DISROBING PROBLEM
 RAISED DURING ANGLE TRIAL

The aequitta1 of Mrs. Ellen M. AL- gle has not ended the vital question pFopounded. to the jury by States At torney Homer s. Cummingss Does any woman, undressing for bed, ever take off both shoes and stockings be- fore she takes off anything else 2'' Numer ous letters on the debatab1e subject have been sent to the court to the prosecutor and the lawyers for the defense. There is also some question as to how fast a woman can divest herself of her clothing after disndssing 2 caller at the door of her apartment. Here are samples of the, corre- spondence which have been received during tllestria1:
 Judge: MT Cummings does not know what he is talking about when hs says a woman never takes off her shoes and stock ings first I, for one, always do unless in an evening gown. and 8 then sbecause would soil and Tnuss it, as they are made of deli-S cate materials. I think it an in justice to convict Mrs. Angle or any other woman on that ground

JURY GOES HOME WITHOUT THANKS
 OF ANGLE JUDGE

Tn the excitement attendant upon the acquittal of Mrs. Helen M. Angle the jurors were allowed to go home without being thanked by the court
 It is customary, at the conclusion of a, jury trial for the court to say a few words to the jurors in apprecia- tion of their duties When the ver- dict was announced yesterday Judge Williams found himself busted trying to have order restored. He also gave his attentions to seeing that Mrs. An gle. then in mysteries on the floor, was given proper care.
 Judge Williams merely told the jury that they could go, but did not take time to express his thanks.
