AT REEDSBURG

Decoration Day in Reedsburg was
appropriately observed. The exer-
cises were held in the city park in
the afternoon, after which the graves
of the deceased veterans were deco
rated with flowers. The afternoon
was pleasant and a large crowd lis
tened to the program. The exercises
were at 1:30 o'clock and after a few
remarks by the president Of the day,
w. A. Wyse, "America" was sung by
the assembly. Logan's first memorial
order was read by Rollin Hickey, and
Miss Louise Hass recited "Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address," A mixed quar-
tet rendered a fine selection, and the
roll Of honor was read by Adjutant l..
M. Kelley. A dirge by the drum corps
was next given, and then Prof. w. E.
Smith of the training school gave a
fine patriotic address, which closed
the program. The line Of march was
then formed in the following order:
Drum corps, members Of the Eagle
lodge, fire department. G. a. r. and
w r. G. in automobiles, citizens. At
the cemetery the usual exercises were

RECEIVERS FROM
MENTAL SHOCK
Grace Lusk, Convicted Teacher,
Exhibits Periods Of Rationaism
on Friday

At Waukesha Grace Lusk became
calm enough Friday afternoon so that
her father was allowed to talk with
her alone, and her attorneys also
went to her cell. after DR.. G. S. Love
had obtained her permission. They
retired Immediately, however, as she
started to leap out of bed when she
saw them. and cried out that they
would hurt her.
eff anyone things she is malinger-
ing they should have seen her eyes"
one of the attorneys said. There is
a possibility that the defense may ask
a lunacy commission, though this is
not believed to be decided as yet. The
next day or so will probably deter
mine.
Miss Lusk has called DR.. Love cdr.
Roberts" several times in the last few
hours. Friday afternoon, however,
she looked closely at his right hand
and said, "Why, DR.. Roberts has a
scar across his hand"
She eats regularly and has become
decidedly more quiet and at times ap-
parently rational.
If she were found insane and sent
to an asylum, but recovered later, it
would not affect her status as a con-
visited prisoner She would simply be
transferred to the penitentiary.

MURDER End

JURY VERDICT
Twelve Men Out Four Hours
Penalty Is IA to rs Years I'm
priSOnment
(From Fridays daily.)

(From Fridays daily.)
Grace Lusk is guilty of murder in
the second degree.
This is the verdict, after four hours
deliberation of the twelve men who
have sat on the judgment seat before
her for two weeks during her heart
gripping trial for the Staying of Mrs.
Mary Newman Roberts, wife Of DR..
David Roberts, former state veterin-
arian at Waukesha.
WOMEN SOB AND FAINT
Scenes were enacted at the finish
I which made women sob and faint and
grim minions of the law quail before
the hysterical grief Of Miss Lusk as
she swooned, quickly revived, went
apparently into a paroXysm Of rage,
attempted to choke D. S. Tullar, the
aged acting district attorney, and
then became physically inert, although
she screamed continually her desire
to die.
By it's verdict of guilt in the second
degree the jury has found that the
crime was committed without premed-
itated designs, by dangerous means,
and by a deprayed mind. The penal
ty is from fourteen to twenty-five
years imprisonment.
First degree murder, which the state
insisted had been committed, implies
the willful killing of person and
with premeditated design. The pen
atty is life Imprisonment.
JUDGE AWAITED CALL
The jury had agreed at 9:4O o'clock.
1t was 10 o'clock before Miss Lusk
had been brought into court and Judge
Martin LueCk had arrived from the
Elks' club, where he had been in
readiness for a call.
Miss Lusk came in with Miss Myr-
tie Lull and Miss Laura Barber and
greeted her aged father DR.. A. P.

hours in the dimIy lighted courtroom,
with a small party Of watchers, his
eyes glued upon the jury room door.
ney, her lawyers, were in court.
The news that an agreement had
been reached spread through the lit
tie city like wildflre. The courtroom
was crowded by the time the jUrymen
filed into the box.
GUILTY IN SECOND DEGREE
eve, the jury, find the defendant,
Grace Lusk, guilty of murder in the
second degree"
When Clerk Harvey Sims read this
verdict Miss Lusk dropped back into
her fathers arms.
She lay still until Mr.. Sims had fin
ished polling the jury, at the request
Of her lawyers.
AS the last juror replied "It is" to
the question: "Was this and is this
your verdict?" Miss Lusk sprang to
her feet, quickly going around cor
ner of the big table and grasping
Mr., Tullar by the throat
: The elderly man, who took the place
in the prosecution of his son, District
Attorney Morris Tullar, who is i'll,
struggled feebly and deputies rushed
! to tear Miss Lusk away.
She appeared to faint and then
: quickly revived. She screamed con-
| tinually and Sheriff Bert Morris and
three reputies were needed to conduct
her to the county Jail.
While the four men were carrying
, her down the stairs, through the cor
ridor, out the side door and across
the lawn to the Jail Office, she moaned
and shrieked, almost continually cry
, ing ''I'll die, I'll die, I'll diet"
