Convicted School Teacher Lives
Up TO Picture Which Her
Counsel Had Painted

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin, May 30
Associated Press)-Grace Lurk, the
ehool teacher who killed the wife Of
Doctor Robinson, with whom she was
Infatuated, was last night convicted Of
murder in the second degree. ''1E4
When the verdict of the jury was
delivered Miss Lurk sprang like tig
eBs upon Acting District Attorney Full
II and sought to styangle him, living
p to the description of her character
which her own attorneys had given her
a remarkable effort to secure an
cquittal. she was finally ovorpowereG
nd was carried from the court room
ghting and screaming.
Novel and remarkable was the de.
ense of the school teacher. Her coun
,el claimed a reversion to the cave wo
aan of thousands of years ago. Born
n New England, of a pious New Eng
md family, of careful up-bringing, the
rime of which she was convicted seem =
d foreign tOher every natural instinct
Counsel claimed Miss Lurk was in
er declining thirties when she met
DOCTOR Robinson. Letters of his we've
resented to the jury. The argument
as that when anyone stepped between
r and the object of her affections
reverted TO a prehist Orie type.

enting the Adams Express Co, or

Express Co. as to what effect the anal

on the local office in Hawaii.
The amalgamation did not come as a
surprise to, the local agents here, as
theV have been preparing reports for
the home offices Of the companies they
represent for the past month or more.
As the Wells Fargo Office in Homo,

which devotes all Of its attention to
this line Of business, 1t is the belief
Of Mr.. Hardesty that this office will be

activities of the American troops, made
public by the war department this
afternoon, says that the big smash
by the American troops was com
plete success. They advanced on
mile and a quarter front in Picardy,
southeast of Amiens and near Mont
didier, where the Germans had vainly
attacked them on Monday They cap
tured Cantigny taking 1872 prisoners
and infiieting heavy losses and suffer
ing comparatively little themselves
either in their attack or in the count :
ers Of the enemy which were all re
pulsed. The Americans reached thei-
detectives in the short time of forty.
Eve minutes.
In the Luneville sector German
raiders were repulsed, losing five in
killed.
A German plane was destroyed by
n California aviator while he vas
engaged in combat withSsix foe ma
chimes.
British military crosses have beor
awarded to twenty seven Americans.
OF these one captain and eleven lien
tenants are of the American medical
service and fifteen others in the i'd
fantry branch of the service for brave
~, shown in fighting in the Luce
sector. ID
Military chiefs here are closely fol-
lowing the developments in the re
Gently resumed German offensive. They
regard several days as necessary to
fully divulge the enemy|s plans:
Observers Interested
Important American participation in
the fighting is welcomed especially M
all reports indicate that they are eat
rying on creditably alongside of the
Bri'ish and French veterans.
Earlier reports on the Picardy en-
gagements of the American troops in
the Pisardv sector said that they snc
eessfully defended themselves on Mon
day against three attacks which war"
preceded by an intense BON bardment
in which more than 10000 SHELLS, in
ending hundreds of gas shells, were
employed by the enemy, Some Ger
mans were captured but the foe took
eonfy one American and he was recov
cred after the enemy had been fur
Their pursued by the Americans.
Artillery Assists &-..'
American artillery ia credited with
showing a remarkable accuracy Of
fine, thus contributing to an important
extent in the successes won by the
infantry.
President WI on is keeping in close
touch with the situation through the
war department.
How many more than 100000 Amer
lean troops are now in France is still
undi clOsed but Bakers statement that
100000 more have been sent over this
month is regarded as lending import
ance TO the Americans as a factor for
the supreme test.
In Pershing's communique Of last
night he did not mention the general
renewal of the German offensive but
said that the Germans penetrated the
American lines in Picardy at two
points whence they we're driven NV
counter attacks in which they entered
the enemy's hines. These were tire
attacks to which he referred in his
.iater communlque, made public today.
He also noted that German raids were
repulsed and a German plane downtl
in the WoevrP sector and bOmbardmout
of the LOrTain" sector.
