WOMAN WHO FATALLY
SHOT HUSBAND RELEASED

According to Pros. Atty
Chester r. Montgomery, lack Of evil
dence against Lille Murphy, who
shot and fatally founded her hus-
band II weeks ago, and the failure
20 find any one who would sign an
affidavit against her, was the cause
Of her discharge in the city court
Monday morning.
The husband of the woman
lived several days after he was
shot" said Mr.. Montgomery last
night. "and he told police officers
and others that he was to blame.
The two children exonerated the
mother when questioned, and the
only other evidence that possibly
could have been produced were
neighbors who heard quarrelng at
the Murphy home on the day OF the
shooting.
The state cannot prosecute un-
less there is evidence upon which
to base a case. The police arrested
the woman as precautionary
measure after Murphy died"

John D. Barrett has been select

known no successor has been chosen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Tn ex-
planation Of the new war council he
has created, Sec'y Baker said Mon
day It was not in any way a result
Of congressional inquiry into oper-
ations OF the war department nor
was il related in any way 10 the in
ter-allied war conference at Paris.
The secretary was not inclined TO
discuss in detail the purpose Of the
new council, but said it was 20 deal
with larger problems facing the de-
partment in its war preparations
and did not infringe on the func-
tions Of the general staff. Questions
Of supply and equipment rather
than military operations probably
will be within the jurisdiction Of the
new body. II is planned that at
least one member of the council
shall be fresh from France, at all
times, in order 70 keep the depart
ment in close touch with affairs at
the front. Mr.. Baker said he had
no present plan Of visiting Gen.
Pershing's forces himself. but would
not bind himself not TO make the
trip.
The council is composed OF the
secretary, the assistant secretary.
the chief of staff, the provost mar
shall general, the quartermaster gen.
eral and the chiefs of artillery and
ordnance.
The three latter will be relieved
Of their present duties to devote
their entire time TO the council.
