mrs. KISER FREED
OF KILLING HUSBAND

WESTMINSTER, Nd. June 1T
the conclusion late yesterday after
noon that Mrs. Alice r. Kiser. the
xty-four-year- country woman.
was not guilty Of the murder OF her
husband, ]. Frank Kiser, by reason
Of her deranged condition at that
time. and that she rs now sane.
The general opinion in the court
room among lawyers and followers
Of the case was that the verdict
would be reached within fifteen min
utes. States Attorney William L
Seabrook made no vigorous effort to
have the jury bring in anything but
q verdict OF manslaughter. and in his
argument he conceded that the de-
Tense had proved that the woman's
state of mind was not normal He
contended, however. that the bur-
den OF proving insanity rested heav-
lily upon the defense. and warned the
jury not to be misled entirely by the
testimony OF the defense's expert
alienists. DR.. Adolf Meyer. DR.. John
Oliver and other well-known mental
specialists.
They had testified that the woman
was suffering from "cerebro arteTio
chIoritic deterioration" which, in the
layman's language, means that she
was virtually unbalanced. due to har-
dening OF the arteries and other or
ganic trouble. all OF which was
brought to a crisis by her husbands
alleged attentions TO Mrs. Ida Reeves.
the woman in the case" Therefore,
when the jurors remained out two
hours, speculation ran rife as to what
was holding them, for there was no
denying the fact that the defense,
represented by Attorney Edward 0.
Weant, and F. Neal Parke, had made
out a strong case.
Mrs. KIser Awaits Verdict.
Mrs Kiser remained in the court
room by the side OF her soldier SON.
Este Kiser, all during the long wait
She ate no lunch. Then, when the
jury finally returned. she showed no
visible emotion. In fact, she didn't
even look up at the members when
they took their place in the box.
When ordered to stand up she did so
with hesitation, raising her hand as
the custom requires, but dropping 1t
languidly when Chief Judge Thomas,
who. with Judge Moss. sat through
the case. asked the jury il it had
reached a verdict.
The jury announced its verdict.

that the little old woman. 80 plainly
dressed and whose pinched and SOM
Der face might have placed her in
the front pew OF some country church
instead OF the prisoners dock, was
mot guilty OF murder" and was sane
at the present time" II the words
Stung her TO the realization that she
had escaped from what might have
been a serious penalty; IL she fully
realized that she was free, that the
jury had decided that she didn't know
right from wrong" in her mental
condition at the time OF the killing,
she failed to show it. she merely sat
down. just as IL the preacher in the
country church had finished the last
note Of the hymn and was preparing
for the sermon. After a few min
utes she put her handkerchief to her
eyes.
Son Assists Her From Room.
There was an unusual touch OF
pathos to the last scene Of the short
but sensational case. The soldier son
showed his relief Visibly. But there
were no friends in the courtroom who
went over 10 congratulate the little
old woman. The soldier-son. who had
stuck by her side from the beginning
of the trial to the end. gently helped
her to her feet. They went out OF the
with Sheriff MeIlor. The
soldier donned his overseas cap when

door. Everybody in the courtroom
seemed pleased with the verdict, but
there was no demonstration.
In the rotunda Of the old court
house the sheriff shook hands with
the soldier and the acquitted mother.
They thanked him for his kindness
and then the pair strolled out the
back door. the soldier holding his
mothers arm~firmIy. They got into a
bsggy, and soon a cloud OF Carroll
county seat was following them
toward their little home in Hanney,
some few miles away, where the shoot
ing occurred.
Mrs. Reever, the other woman in
the case, was not in court yesterday
She was there all day Thursday, and,
though she was not q witness. dis
played an unusual interest in the pro-
ceedings. According TO the witness
for the defense it was this woman
who had aroused Mrs. KiseF's jeal-
ousT TO such a pitch that her depleted
mental and physical condition rep-
dered her unable to distinguish right
from wrong. Mrs. ReeVer is four
years younger than Mrs. Kiser. much
more robust and far more youthful
in appearance.

MYSTERIOUS LOVER
REAL, SAY SISTERS

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-That there
was no deliberate hoax in the romance
Of Miss Sophie Loderhose, whose
strange engagement to a mythical Dr.
II. William Hoffman, ended with a
faxed" announcement OF the doctors =
death. Is the belief of Miss Emily
Loderhose and Mrs w. p. Phillips,
sisters of the young woman.
They emphatically denied that the
engagement was the invention of an
imaginative mind.
Both sisters expressed the betief
that Miss Loderhose had been i'm
posed upon by an adventurer who as
sumed the name of DR.. Hoffman, for
reasons of his own, and Miss Emily
Loderhose declared that she had met
the mysterious doctor three times in
her home and his putative father
once.
Hitherto Miss Loderhose and Mrs.
Phillips have denied themselves to in
reviewers, but finally said they had
decided to make public the facts in
the strange snarl as they knew them
so as to correct certain erroneous
conjectures which appeared to be
current.
The sisters gave q detailed account
OF Miss Loderhose's associations vita
DIR. Hoffman, from the time the two
met at a party in Garden place, last
November, until the exploded romance
caused a sensation among the congre-
cation of the Emmanuel Lutheran
Church. of which Miss Loderhose is &
member, and where the elaborate
marriage ceremony was to take plac,
today.
The house at the Garden place adj
dress was occupied by a prominent
Brooklyn family last November, cut
since has passed into other hands.
Members of the former family wholly
disclaim the acquaintance either of
Miss Loderhose or of a man who
might have passed as DR.. Hoffman,.
They said no such person attended a
party at their home in November.

most IL not ALL OF your dandrufr will
be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
