 l6 last, aas acquitted hy a jury at
 midnight last night, Mrs LoneFgan, mother of fourteen children, contend, ed that i-0neFgan shot himself while she vas struggling with him, The ease had aroused great interest and a decision was largely awaited, hath because Of the unusual plight of a mother 0l fourteen children. who is
 i6 years old, and because a jury in the Bronx had returned a verdict Of guilt carrying the death penalty in the ease of another woman, Mrs, Anna hnz1l, in the Bronx on Wednesday
 Mrs lsanergan faced a terrible or. deal during the long hours the jury delheFated, Pale, gray, emaeiated, hFematurely aged, she sat slumped In a chair ih the prison pen in the court, house basement, so near collapse that FestaratlVes had to be administered at intervals The jury returned 10 the court room three times 10 ask Justice fagarty to have parts of the testl- mony read it. Each time, Mrs. Lon ergan almost was carried into court her presence being necessary,
 The third time she tainted while the testimony of her fourteen. .year.old son William was read. William. who was in his fathers bicycle shop at a6i Bridge street when the father was shot 10 death on May IS was a star witness for the prosecution. and though he admitted under eross-ex- animation that detectives at police headquarters had frightened him by threatening to slap his face. he stuck to his testimony, insisting that the po-, lice had not actually laid hands on him and denying that they had coach- cd him In what to say.
 The jury returned for the first time at 2 o'clock. having been out for near ly two hours. It came back again at ( and when it filed in a third time at 9:45 Mrs. Lonergan had been waiting nearly nine hours for 1t to decide whether her life was forfeit.
 She made a visible effort to control herself until the foreman made 1t ap- parent that the twelve men had not cone in with verdict. then she gave a low moan and collapsed. She was unconscious long after the jurors had returned to their deliberations and 1t was some time before she could be revived and carried back to ihe prison pen to face more hours of wating.
 Edward J. Reilly who with William Mcclure defended Mrs. Lonergan, made herculean effort to win &C., quittal for her in his final address to the jury. Mir. Reilly dwelt upon the woman's testimony that Lonergan held | the pistol when it went off while she | was struggling with her husband 10 l keep him from shooting her. He laid particular stress on the prosecutions failure to introduce the weapons, ar- gung that if Mrs. Lonergan had held the weapon it would have shown her and clinched the states case.
 Much of Mir. Reilly's address was olea for sympathy for the mother of ourteen children. who, he said, had endured for thirty years "a hell of work" How long do you mink it is," the lawyer asked, since Tohn Lonergan bought this little wom- Ln a new dress or a new hat, or a box ,f candy?"
