POULIN NOT FATHER
OF TIERNAN CHILD
COURT DECIDES
Judge Scores Wife of ProfeS-
SOr and Defendant in
Case.
MRS. TIERNAN FAINTS.
Her Husband Takes Action
for Separation Follow
ing Decision.

SOUTH BEND. Ind. Sept. 30
Harry Poulin, local haberdasher
charged by Mrs. Augusta Tiernan
with being the father OF her third
child, was found not guilty in City
Court here to-day.
Mrs. Tiernan tainted on hearing the
verdict. She was carried out, placed
in a taxicab and driven home.
Judge C. l.. Ducomb made it plain
in his comment that he found the de-
fendant mot guilty" in the strict
sense of the word. He said that he
believed there had been intimate re-
lations between Mrs. Tiernan and
Poulin. The fact, however, that Prof.
Tiernan had lived with his wife
throughout the entire affair created
the reasonable doubt that made it
legally compulsory to find for the de-
fendant.
The court held that Tiernan failed
to prove that he could not have been
the father of the baby.
Prof. and Mrs. Tiernan will not be-
come recOnciled according to plans an
nounced by the professor following
the decision.
The beginning of a movement for Il
permanent separation will take place
late to-day or tomorrow when Prof
Tiernan will take his wife and three
children to Bonson, Mich, where
Mrs. Ticrnan will make her home with
her mother until she decides upon her
future. That Mrs. Tiernan is being
allowed by Prof. Tiernan to take the
three children with her is due, he said,
to his sympathy for his. wife. Later 1t
is understood that the children will be
placed in a school.
II believe" he said, "that had we
disclosed the affairs of our household
as they really have been during the
last year, a different verdict would
have been reached.
I'VE have been in living hell. -
he said, but this fact we withheld
from the court and public"
Harry Poulin was brief in his state
ment. Just what / expected" he
said. He would not make no other
comment,
Mrs. Poulin, In a highly nervous
state, was unable to make u state
ment.
Prosecutor Floyd Jellison and Prof.
Tiernan announced after Judge Du-
comb had rendered his opinion that
the case would he appealed and car
ried to the Supreme Court Of the
United States If necessary.
"Tbe decision was a great surprise
to me-" declared Prof. Tiernau. at
swept me completely off my feet"
The testimony" the Judge said In
his rulings, has been of the most
sensational character and has shock
ed the morals Of the court as we'll
as the entire country, and regret
this incident of my life that it be
came my painful duty and that | was

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept 30.-Au-
thorities investigating the murders of
the Rev. e. w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills admitted to-day there was one
phase of their inquiry which is per
sistently throwing doubt upon their
general understanding of the motive
and the manner of the crime.
For a week detectives have been
trying to find a er-do-wcll Polish
tramp of weak mentality who is re-
ported to have applied to a hospital
here for a bullet wound in his leg
about two weeks ago--the bodies of
Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills were discov-
cred under crab apple tree on the
Phillips farm just two weeks ago to-
day.
The man sought has been arrested
on charge of being dangerously ir-
rational at least twice and has been
let go as harmless. He was a night
prowler in Buccleuch Park, where the
Rev. Mr.. Hall often met Mrs. Mills
and was fond of telling stories of his
adventures as a spy upon couples who
sought seclusion there.
The detectives have no trace of him.
They do not know if he is hiding or
has left town for some reason not
connected with the Hall Mills murder
or If he is lying sick in the home of
friends of his own race.
ut would be wrong TO say we sus-
pect this man of the murder, but
until we find him there is still a pos
sibility that all the indications revealed
by our other work may lead to
false conclusion"

to-day that the letters in the hand

The most prominent cause for the
