M'M|llAN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
Strand of Yellow Thread Con-
vinces Woman Jurors-life
Term Recommended.
Bv the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. February 25.--A
strand of yellow thread woven into two
pieces of canvas in such way that 1t
attracted the eye of eight woman jurors
helped to convict DR.. Charles NJ. Nc
MILAN Of the sack murder" of his en-
ployer, Mrs. Amelia Appleby, wealthy
widow.
The jury yesterday found the former
Colorado, Tex, physician guilty of first
degree murder and recommended life
Imprisonment.
The yellow thread ran through the
canvas which was found wrapped
about the wealthy widows body and
through a similar piece discovered in
the slain wonlan's automobile in her
garage. Six of the eight women on the
jury agreed that the yellow thread had
been one Of the strongest links in the
chain OF circumstances upon which they
convicted Mcmillan.
1T didn't surprise me much" the con-
vlcted man stammered, in commenting
on the verdict. He was grave with the
same stoical indifference he maintained
throughout his trial in which he adj
mitted forging the "Appleby will" which
beQueathed TO him the entire estate Of
his victim. The State declared the
forged will was the evidence of the doc
tors murder motive.
Under the California law the jury's
recommendation makes the sentencing
set for next Tuesday morning only a
formality
Mrs. Appleby's body was found De-
ceyl6e- IS last. Just Of a roadway, 60
miles from her Los Angeles home. A
bruised forehead indicated to the State
that she had been struck unconscious
before being truSsed up and dumped in
the roadside brush The county autopsy
surgeon testified the wealthy widow of a
Chicago inventor had died of exposure
Although the convicted man was put
on the witness stand in his own defense.
he failed to deny or even mention the
murder.

spoken very bluntly You are a good

Lila has never been rugged and four

Well, my mother used a dashboard"
John said this rather sheepishly. while
grin spread over his face.
True. true, but ! don't see you using
the kind of Office equipment your dad
had. notice you have things pretty
modern and convenient up there"
This had been what had set John
thinking. Now, as the old doctor had
said. John was a good man. and be-
cause Lila didn't complain. he hadn't
thought of her work being too heavy.
Why an electric washing machine must
cost $3.50. an iron at least IS and ne

Lila had supper on the table when
John reached his pleasant. old-fash-

she looked tired. and for once was not
oblivious to the great rack of ironed
clothes that doomed like snowy noun

He recalled. too that Lila had never
nagged or complained like so many
women, and had proved pretty square

A year ago when he had the house
wired she had been so happy, for the
house was an old one although we'll
built and comfortable. 1t had never
been wired. so when this was done,
Lila had felt that nothing more should
be expected for some time.
Yes. the Bowers men were all a
bit close. A dollar was dollar with
them. Still, as John pondered on the
words of the old doctor, he was wor-
ried.
1t was Friday morning. as Lila was
sweeping the rugs on the back porch,
that a truck drove into the yard. The
man inquired If this was where John
Bowers lived. and Lila, surprised, had
replied in the affirmative.

EASTER PAGEANT AT

The Easter services at the Commun- ity church yesterday met fully the ex- pectations of the large audience pres- ent. It was an ideal Easter day, and the church was filled to its capacity.
 With hte exception of solo and one hymn by the congregation the pro- gram was given by the Jesse Lee Home people, and consisted of appro- .priate music, and short pageant. < Mrs. Groth presided at the organ, and Mr. King was leader of the choir: and the music given showed excellent training.
 Mrs. King took the leading part in the pageant. and showed remarkable ability both in portraying truth ond in training of the girrs who took part with her In the pageant. The idea of the pageant was to por- tray the true spirit of Christian ser vice and discipleship; and as rendered yesterday brought the idea clearly and fully within the comprehension of every one present; and in way which touched and moved the hearts of many. and tears to their eyes. It was ! really a great sermon presented in a new way.
 Mrs. Hardy sang a solo, with Mrs. Richard McNally as accompanist. This was Mrs. Hardy's first appearance be- fore a Seward audience. She was really a surprise, as well as delight to her hearers as with her beautiful clear mezzo soprano vioce she render ed The Holy City.
 The entire service was an inspiring one, and it is certain that many went away with strong feeling and sin cere purpose to strive to emulate more the spirit, and follow the teachings oi the risen and living Christ. !
