Julius Bogwilo, on trial for the slay-
ing of his wife on May 9Th, of this
year, was found not guilty" by
jury IN the circuit court just after
eight clock on Tuesday evening but
Bogwilo was not giyaI lis freedom.
Instead he was called oefefe the bench
ssslldt S1udge " ssam Quinlan wha
presided for Judge Beldep at the trial
of the case promptly ordered that he be
committed to the Central Hospital for
the care of the criminal insane until
such time as he had been examined
and observed by experts and report
made showing that he was at the pres
emit time sane and that he was not
likely to have a recurrence of mental
illness which might again lead him into
the commission Of crime. The defend
ant was at once remanded to the Gus
tody of the sheriff and before Judge
Quinlan left the court room he signed
the order committing him to the hos
pital.
Jury Had Reasonable Doubt.
The jury in its special verdict re-
.urned to the court just after half
past eight o'clock declared that it
found Bogwilo "not guilty" because
in the mind of the jury there was
reasonable doubt as to his sanity at
the time he killed his wife. The jury
had not been asked to pass upon the
sanity of the defendant at the pres
ent time. The fact that the members
of the jury had a reasonable doubt as
to his sanity caused the court to in
woke a law passed by the last session
of the legislature in committing him
to the hospital Members of the jury
came into the jury box just after
eight clock and it was announced
that they had agreed upon a verdict.
The verdict was handed to the court
and after he had carefully read it he
said: "Gentlemen in answering ques-
ton three I am not just certain what
you mean Then the court ordered
the jury back to the jury to amplify
the statement they had signed. In half
an hour they returned with the YER
dict showing that the reasonable
doubt Of the sanity had caused them
to find the defendant mot guilty"
Ending of Case Is Tragic.
Probably no more tragic chapter
was ever written in any case on trial
in the Circuit Court for Kenosha coun-
ty. The jury had received the case
just before four o. clock Tuesday af-
ternoon and Bogwilo had waited in the
court room expecting an early verdict
of the jury. The twelve men had been
out but few minutes when they re-
turned to the court room and asked for
further instructions in regard to the
special verdict covering the various
questions dealing with the insanity
issue. The Judge gave them the IN
structions and sent them back Later
the jury went out for dinner but Bog
wilo and his attorneys and many
friends of the defendant stuck at the
court house. When the knock came
from the jury room announcing that a
verdict had been reached Bogwilo was
sitting talking with his little boy. He
pushed the boy aside and hurried to
take his customary place in the inner
circle of the court room. When he
heard the not guilty" his drawn face
changed just little and a smile play
ed over his lips. He rose with MS at
torneys to leave the court room after
