Cleveland, Nov. 2,—Mrs. Mabel Cham- | pion, charged with the first degree mur- der of Thomas A, O'Connell, carnival promoter, of New Haven, Conn., in a res- taurant. here last July was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury composed of sevén women and five men In cummon pleas court here tonight. Judge Bernon immediately imposed the maximum sentence of twenty years in the Marysville reformatory. Attorneys for the defense entered a motion for a new trial, which Judge Ber- non denied. The composure with which Mrs. Cham- pion had watched the progress of the trlal forsook her when the verdict was read and she broke down and cried. _ The jury had the case twenty-eight houre. IL J. Patterson, foreman of the jury, stated that eight ballots had been taken, Judge Bernon also overruled a_motion to defer sentence. Attorneys for the defense declared they would appeal the case. g ‘1 believe the jury was very kind and merciful,” the judge sald in passing sen- tence. “I consider no further need of leniency, on the part of the court.” ) Mrs. Champion was sobbing when she was led from the court room to the cell, which she has occupied since her arrest on the night of the murder. All of the seven women jurors were in tears and many of the spectators also were visibly affected. Mrs. Champion went on trial October 22. The case wnt to the jury late ¥: terday. O'Connell was shot to death in a down-town restaurant here last July while he and Ausley Champion, husband Lof Mrs. Champion, were engaged in a fist fight following an argument over a drink of whiskey, On the witness stand Mrs. Champion admitted firing the fatal shots, but swore they were fired by accident when O'Con- nell lunged toward her and seized her arm. She said she fired once into the floor in an attempt to frighten O'Connel as he battled with her husband. The story of the state's witnesses dif- fered materially from that of _ Mrs. Champion.

P.)—Al- mos: the entire attention of the poiiti- cal world today was absorbed in the surprising result of the municipal ele:- tions in which labor suffered an over- whelming defeat. The returns in sev- enty of the leading boroughs in the provinces show that out of 574 labor candidates only 215 were elected, While the conservatives elected 350 of the 459 nominated. . In London there has been .a landslide. Labor had old councils, new. similar 572 seats on the but has only 256 on tae Labor now holds only four Lor- don borough councils, Poplar, Batter- sea, Berniondsey and Woolwich, as gainst twelve councis formerly held, while in eleven London boroughs mot a single labor representative was retura- his is a_complete reversal of the sue- labor had in 1919 in the municipal elections and the question on all sides is whether it forebodes a similar land- slide in the coming political struggie.
