British Beauty Free
in Cocktail Killing'
of LOUer at Party
Jury Is Out Almost Two
Hours; Murder Intent
Charge Also QuaShed on
Order of Judge.

By Ohtt6d Press
LONDON, July 6.-Mrs. Elvira
Dolores Barney, young society
beauty, was acquitted by jury in
historic Old Bailey court today of
the cocktail party" murder of her
lover, Michael Scott Stephen.
The jury, deciding one of the
most spectacular criminal trials in
recent British history was out
hour and So minutes.
It's verdict while acquitting Mrs.
Barney of the murder, formally in
dicted her on another charge-that
of attempting to kill Stephen during
an earlier quarrel on May 10.
When no evidence was offered,
however, Justice Humphreys in
Structed the jury to return YER
dict of not guilty on the second
charge also.
Excited, milling thousands sur
rounded Old Bailey. The throngs
overlooked the pavements of Old
Bailey and Newgate streets, near by.
Spectators Jam StEecC
No one was, permitted to stand on
the pavement outside the court, but
the opposite side of the street was
packed.
The ordinary police guards we're
reinforced by mounted men.
"Manslaughter clearly is the only
verdict open to the jury on the facts
of this case,'' Justice Humphreys
had charged the jury.
The judge said there was mot
the smallest doubt" that Mrs Bar
ney and Stephen had struggled for
possession of a revolver before
Stephen was shot.
Mrs. Barney contended that the
revolver was discharged during a
struggle; the prosecution claimed
that Stephen could not have shot
himself.
Justice Humphreys said there
was absolutely no direct evidence for
the prosecution. He described the
case as "the story of two rather
wasted lives"
Jurors Are warned
'This woman is not to be con-
victed of murder unless it is proved
that she fired the fatal shot, and
that she fired intending at the time
to kill the man." Justice Humphreys
told the jury.
Death on the gallowS for Mrs.
Barney had appeared during the
trial to depend on whether she
could have fired with her left hand
the revolver shot that KILLED
Stephen.
Drama rarely seen in the Staid
British halls of justice and COM
parable to the stage thrills of the
Trial of Mary Dugan," were en-
acted in famous Old Bailey court
during the trial.
Sir Patrick Tuesday suddenly
drew reviewer from his pocket,
placed it before Mrs. Barney in the
dock, and said to the pale and hag-
gard defendant:
"Pick up that revolver, Mrs. Bar
ney!"
Uses Right Hand
Mrs. Barney, startled, looked
blankly at her distinguished coun-
sci, hesitated, then reached for
ward and picked up the revolver
with her right hand.
Have you ever picked up a re-
volver with your left hand?" Sir
Patrick asked.
NO" Mrs. Barney replied.
Are you left-handed?"
mo"
Sir Patrick turned and faced the
court. THAT, sir, is my case" he
said.
A thrill of excitement swept
through the courtroom crowd.
Sir Patrick had duplicated the
climax of the famous Mary Du-
gan" trial by showing that the de-
PENDANT was right-handed, and i'm
plying that if Mrs. Barney had fired
deliberately at Stephen the direc-
ton the bullet took proved she
must have fired with her left hand

succeeded in getting back within their

Sighting the enemy drome at Will

tack. The flight swooped down, straffed
the enemy drome and was away before
pursuit could take place.
Reaching Richmond, the commander
gave the order to land and after a
minute pause the flight headed out
over the James River, following the
course of the naval battle between the
Merrimac and Monitor during the Civil
War. Arriving over Mulberry Island,
a score of World War freighers,

their stacks erect proudly like grim

crusted over their sleek sides. Again
the order to attack was given and the

Health Department Chemists
Still Probing Incident
at Marshall Hall.

The Health Department today admit
ted it was bafied as to the cause of
the widespread sickness among persons
attending the picnics of employees of
the Chestnut Farms Dairy at Marshall
Hall July 81. Exhaustive tests of food
stuffS at the picnic, which caused sick
ness to $50 of the 1,100 present, yielded
no definite clue.
Health Officer William C. Fowler
made public reports from John Noble,
bacteriologist, and James G.. Cumming,
contagious disease officer, on the picnic.
Cumming suggested the possibility that
the samples taken by the Health De-
partment may not have been Of the
food that caused the trouble. Since all
partook of the food and half became i'll,
the probability was that only half Of
the food was infected, and the chances
even that the samples were taken of
the uninfected food. Further analysis
will be done in an effort to determine,
If possible. the true cause of the trouble.
DR.. Noble himself ate the foods he
analyZed, to make sure they were pure.
He suffered no i'll effects. The foods
also were given to laboratory guinea
pigs, who enjoyed them, also with no
i'll effects.
The archaeological analysis so far
has been intended to identify bacteria
of the "Salmonella" type, according to
the Noble report, these bacteria being
responsible for most cases of food
poisoning. Further analysis for other
bacterial types will require at least
another month.
