MUNDY GETS NEW
TRIAL; HIGH COURT
REvERSES 2 OTHERS

Sringfield, H.. June 21.--Handing
down an opinion that many errors en-
tered into the trial of Charles B. Mum
day, former president of the La Sale
Street Bank OF Chicago, the supreme
court today reversed and remanded
the case for retral in the Grundy
county circuit court.
The court was divided on the ques.
tfon, Justice Carter and Cartwright
dissented. One of the main reasons
for the reversal it was said that inn
proper remarks were made by an
assistant states attorney in the trial.
The court goes into the trial of the
case very fully and finds a number
of errors in the methods of conduct
ing the trial in Grundy county, where
the conviction was secured.
1t is held that the state should
have excluded the testimony of de-
! positors as to the amount of their
| particular deposits and the fact that
they had never been repaid. Such evil
dence, the court says. would be Of no
assistance whatever to the jury in
! determining the case.
The court finds that a number Of
things transpired during the trial tend
ing to prejudice the jury. Women
were permitted to sit on the rostrom
beside the Judge during the trial and
particularly during the argument to
the jury These women were hostile
to Munday and openly demonstrated
their hostility, it is declared by Nun

is HIT BY DESTROYER.

American Naval Base in Great Bri-
tain, June 2l.-A German submarine
has been rammed and sunk by
United States destroyer. according to
belief expressed here today by mem
DER of the crew of the warship which
put into port today.
A failure OF the incident was that
the American bluejacket who sighted
and reported the U-boat Is the son of
German parents.
The destroyer was proceeding thru
calm sea when periscope was
sighted. The submarine began to
submerge but before she disappeared
entirely the destroyer was almost on
top of her. All hands rushed to the
rail. Suddenly there was cry from
the German born sailor:
There she isl"
The American warship was SO close
upon the U-boat that her guns could
not be used, so the commander swung
his ship about and those on the deck
say they felt perceptible shock Of
collision.
This is the first German submarine
othat the American destroyers claim
to have destroyed.
The American destroyers have had
some lively times since their arrival.
One British ship was destroyed just
outside the port which the Americans
are using for their base, while it was
being conveyed by two Of the Ameri
can warships. Among the survivors
of this vessel, landed by destroyer
was William Donald, of Buffalo N. Y

CHAIN LETTER FAKE
EXPOSED; MANY IN
OTTAWA ARE DUPED
FREE TRADER.JOURNAL is IN
FORMED BY SEATTLE POLICE
THAT FAkiRS WERE USING
FORMER CONSuL'S NAME TO
GAIN LARGE SUM.

Ottawa people who responded to an
appeal for aid in help establishing
field hospital in France for the wound
ed in the jaw and mouth, were
"duped." This is evidence today In
letter received by the Free Trader
Journal from the chief of police at
Seattle.
A few weeks ago chain letter was
circulated in which each sperson was
requested to place twenty-five cents
and then write the names for five more
persons and direct letters to them,
In this manner millions OF dollars
would be raised, providing the chain
was not broken.
The letter had much of the appear
ance of fraud when it was stated that
only a l004bed hospital was wanted
and that for every $lS,0oO,00o that
was raised the Red Cross would give
$2,O00,000
The author of the fake letter first
appealed to the patriotism of the
prospective giver, then laid stress OF
the fact that Lafayette helped the
| United States in the time OF the Rev
! Clutionary war.
The reply of Chief G. l.. BecNng
