Fink, United States attor- ney, a few hours before the jury brought in its verdict. Fink said, in his charge to the jury, that the Secretary, without being ad- vised of the facts in the case, had sent a letter to Harlan Stone, then Attorney General, expressing opinfon that the evidence against the accused was insufficient.

PARENTS RECONCILED BY CHILDISH SLAYER Agree “to Begin Over” After Jury Clears Girl Who Killed Her Mother’s Rival. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 22.—Arm in arm and resolved “to begin over,” Lucile Wunsch and her parents left court vesterday, following a verdict in which a coroner's jury completely exonerated the 16-year-old high school girl from guilt, although she had fired a shot that killed Agnes Simneck, her mother’s rival. In her story of the shooting the girl took the jury frankly into her confidence, sparing not a detail that had led up to the hurried trip of mother and daughter to the Simneck home, the quarrel between Mrs. Wunsch and the Simneck girl and the fatal shots with which Lucile in terposed “simply to scare her."” Lucile told the jury she had kept a revolver concealed for a month, re solved that at the first opportunity she would put an end to her father's af fair. The verdict of the jury, consisting of five men and a woman, said the girl | “suffered from hysterical frenzy due to the scuffie between her mother and the deceased,” and that she “acci- dentally fired the shot that killed the deceased. . | Ginger Ale Bottle Doz. 1‘ Clicquot Club S $165 Abner Drury's 5 Cantrell & Cochran: Canada Dry Magruder Inc.
