Chicago, June 24.-Cora Isabelle
Orthwein, slayer OF Herbert P
Ziegler, was declared not guilty by
a jury this evening, after delberat-
ing All hour. Mrs. Orthwcin wcpt
with Joy as the verdict was read:
I'VE, the jurors, find the defend
ant. Cora Isabelle Orthwein. not
guilty as charged in the indictment.
This does not mean she did not
kill Zieglcr, for she admits the
Staying, but condones her act as the
necessity OF self-defense.
Widow Avoids Testifying.
The case has attracted wide at
tention and has been followed close
ly by people in Chicago and else
where. The testimony showed that
Ziegler, an able and companionable
business man when sober, became
beast when inhamed with liquor,
and he drank heavily and often. The
fact that his widow and daughter
left the city to avoid testifying, led
the public, and possibly the Jury,
to believe that his actions in his own
home were not such as to endear
him to his family.
His wife had become estranged
from him and had been in California.
She returned just before the tragedy,
and it was said that love for his
daughter had Influenced Ziegler to
break relations with Mrs. Orthwein
and return to his family.
Twice Divorced.
Mrs. Orthwein, whose maiden
name was Landrum and who came
from Kentucky, was first married
to Jack O'Connor, then manager of
the St. Louis Browns She after
wards divorced him and became the
wife of Harry Ortiwein, president
of the club. who introduced her to
St. Louis society. She was divorced
from him on the charge that he had
violent temper and had threatened
her life. Then she went to New
York, where she met Ziegler who
represented himself as a single man
and induced her to come to Chicago,
He maintained an apartment for her
and his automobile was at her call,
They were familiar figures at the

Revolt on
Mellon Bill
Is Manifest
Refunding of $4,000, 900, 900
Debt Owned by the Allies
To L. S. Ic Received
Reluctantly.
Refuse German Bonds

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 24-Symptoms
of revolt were manifest in congress
today against the broad and almost
unlimited powers asked by the adj
; ministration for the rcfunding of the
00,000000 debt owed by the al
lied governments to the United
States.
The chief cause for reluctance lies
in the fact that the legislation sought
gives the secretary of the treasury
authority to accept bonds of Ger
many and Austria. Notwithstanding
this attitude III congress it was made
clear in an authoritative quarter that
the government seeks this authority
deliberately, for it may be absolutely
necessary to accept bonds OF the
central powers from some OF the
smaller debtor nations and also nee
essary to accept them from Germany
and Austria in payment OF their
debts to us for expenses of our army
OF occupation. ....
way ASK NcVlSlOIl,
That there will be resistance to the
grant of this authority is certain and
and it is not unlikely that some will
insist upon revision of the bill be-
fore it is passed.
The feeling OF opposition was
brought out today in senate debate.
Senator Smoot of Utah, one of the
republican wheelhorses and one of
the most active members of the
finance committee, declared that the
bill went too far and assured demo-
cratic critics that the finance COM
mittee would call upon Mr.. Mellon
for most careful explanation of his
plans before it made any report on
the measure.
Senator McKellar of Tennessee,
democrat, precipitated the debate by
declaring that mo more unwise, un-
just. impolitic and Unfair thing to the
United States could have been de-
yiscd than the Mellon bill"
McKellar Explains Bill.
Blanket authority is given under
this bill to take German, Austrian
and Turkish bonds as par for Eng
lish, French, Italian and Belgian
bonds" said Senator McKellar. The
result would be in the end that we
would pay $l1 900, 1000 of the Ger
man Indebtedness. We loaned our
money at par TO the allies when
their bonds were selling at 50. to 90
cents on the dollar. We loaned that
money at what we had to pay for it
-3H to per cent. 1t is now pro-
posed that we shalt swap this in
Gebtedness. guaranteed by the sol
vent nations of Europe. and take in
their place German bonds that L
don't believe are worth 20 cents on
the dollar
Frankly, l think this bill gives
the secretary of the treasury too
much power" said Senator Smoot.
But there are not many German
bonds in circulation. Germany is
issuing paper money
Before we report this BILL" said
Senator Smoot," we will have the
secretary of the treasury before the
finance committee and will know
exactly what he has in mind fof
