Considerable criticism has been d.

Gently because some manufacturers, in
an endeavor to get as much sales-ap-

afternoon sought shelter in the boiler
room of the saw mill owned by the
lumber company and asked permits
sion to find a friend" who, he said
was working in the yard.
Upon questioning of the company's
employees. it has developed that no
one working in the yard knew the man,
who. when he appeared in the mill,
asked if there was "any chance for
q lob" and wandered about the lumber
yard.
Firemen coming off the job last
night after IS hours of fire fighting
in zero weather reported that the odor
of kerosene was so strong in among
the ruined lumber piles that they
could scarcely endure standing in the
smoke while fighting the blaze.

The jury had deliberated about
eleven hours, retiring at 10000 o'clock
last night 1t considered the case al
most continuously during the night
and this morning except for short
time for breakfast. The jurors stated
after the verdict that the jury had
been unanimous for finding both de-
PENDANTS guilty from the first ballot,
but that there had been wide differ
ence as to the punishment to be in
fiicted upon Mrs. Sweetin. The
punishment inflicted upon her, the
jurors said, represented a compromise.
Only twb Of the jurors had favored
infiction of the death penalty upon
Hight. None voted for the hanging
of Mrs. Sweetin.
The two defendants received the
verdict in silence and with no out
ward display Ffi emotion.
Attorneys Tor bogh defendants gave
formal notice that they would ask
for new trial.
The jury received the case after

TO PROBE DEATH OF
MILLIONAIRE ORPHAN
States Attorneys Office in Chicago
Investigates the Death of
William McClintock.

Chicago, Ill. An order for the
exhumation today for the body of
William N. McClintock, the million
ARE orphan" and former Dartmouth
college student, who died December
while his fance waited with mar
rage license, was signed by Chief
Justice Hopkins of the criminal cour--
The states attorneys assistants and
Coroner Oscar Wolff and his aides
went at once to the cemetery to dis
inter the body for an autopsy.
Young McClintock, who attained his
maj less than year ago, died
at the home of his foster-father, Will
liam d. Shepherd, an attorney, who
also was the chief beneficiary named
in the will disposing Of the young
mans estate of nearly $2,000,000. The
will provided for an annuity of 3d.
900 for Miss Isabelle Pope, McClin-
tock's sweetheart since school days.
He was buried on the day they were
to have been married, and the young
men who were to have been his at
tendants and ushers at the wedding
were pallbearers instead.
Mr.. Shepherd and his wife, are in
Albuquerque, N, M, but his law part
ner, Ralph Stoll, who was present
when Judge Hopkins issued the order.
said he had telegraphed Mr.. Shepherd
to return as soon as possible and ex-
pected him to return Immediately.
McClintock was believed to have
died of typhoid fever. Two physicians
attended him.
Since his death and the filing of the
will, several cousins of the name of
Eaton, living in Omumwa, Iowa, have
employed legal counsel to investigate
the death and the will.
States Attorney Robert E. Grove
and Coroner Wolff have held consulta-
tions with Chief Justice Harry Olson
and the determination was reached to
investigate the McClintock death
thoroughly with autopsy warrants. In
the meantime, the states attorney
will question all concerned.
