ROCHESTER, May 16.—Dr. Le- land Dorr Kent, accused on four counts of having aided and assisted In the sui- | cide of Ethel Blanche Dingle, a handspme | nurse and former telephone girl, With whom he eloped, was found guilty on the | third count this afternoon. The third count, the most serlous one, charged that he stabbed the girl to death. The jury | was out four hours and took two ballots. For the, first time since the trial began Dr. Kent showed evidence of nervousness. His father, A. Dorr Kent, who has stood by him throughout the four weeks' trial, sat with his arm around the back of Ris son’s chair. The extreme penalty is twenty years’ | imprisonment, and he is expected to get the limit. District Attorney Warren said: “It is a trinmph of law and order against the effort of a perjured defense. The trial was a long one and the defense made the most stubborn fight I have ever | known in a Monroe County court, but I have at no time been apprehensive of the result. It was a clear case and the de- fendant was fortunate to escape indict- ment for murder.” ————— MISS ELLEN M.

Adams has written that he knows noth- ing of the young woman, whom he de- scribes “German musician, a mystic soul and a Catholic saint.” He expresses | the opinion that she has been driven to | destruction by “cruel slanders which have | been heaped upon her, construing her most holy emotions into sins of a most | vicious nature.” Mrs. Adams, enraged at her desertion by her husband and indignant at the in- sults which she belleves have been put upon her, has ¢mployed detectives and much will depend upon the. report made by them to her. WIFE GA . INFORMATION. Already form#ition of a strange na- ture has been gathered and Mrs, Adams, | who is living nfar Chappaqua, West- chester County, is not in a forgiving mood. One of the most remarkable exhibits whith has been placed in the hands of Mrs. Adams is a novelette written by | Adams a short time before his disappear- | ance. This is frankly and by some be- lieved to be almost brutally autoblograph- | ical in its nature. There had been accumulated in a New | | York bank to the credit of Adams $15,000. After his acquaintance with the “girl of the mystic soul” the bank account began to -dwindle. It is said there was only | | about $4000 to his credit in August a year | ago. Two storfes are told of what occurred | | at that time. One is that Adams took | passage as a erage passenger on the Augusta Victoridy, which sailed from New | York on August 14. When the ship was | outside Sandy Hook, Adams was startled | and alarmed to find that the “girl with | the mystic soul” also had taken steerage | passage on the same ship. Recognizing | the mistake they had made they trans- | ferred from the steerage to the first cab- | in. That is the story told by those who | investigated the disappearance of Adams. His own story Is different. | | HOW ADAMS EXPLAINS IT. | “My mind was a blank for many days before I left New York,” wrote Adams | to a friend here. “I knew nothing of | what I was doing and I first came to my- | self on board a steamship, where I was working as a common seaman. I contin- | ued the voyage, doing my duties as best I could, and though I often thought that I would die, God's grace saved me."” No mention was made at that time of “the child with a mystic soul.” Of her not much is known. That she disappeared from her home about the middle of Aug- | ust of last year is admitted. She has been | heard from on one or two occasions since | then, but her present whereabouts is un- | known, except it be to her relatives, who | refuse to discuss it. Mrs. Adams says: “I will not speak the name of the un- fortunate girl who hypnotized my hus | band. He first met her at a summer | school near Baltimore and from the first | he seemed to be enthralled by her. When she came to New York a year ago last winter I heard so much about the time spent 'with her by my husband that I felt called upon to speak to him about it. He elieved 1 was jealous and to prove to him that T was not I invited the young woman into my own home, and abandon- ment by my husband was the result of [my trust in him.” RUFFIANS ASSAULT ° AN ELEVATOR OPERATOR Boy Refuses to Join Union and Beat- ing Is Thought to Have Resulted, BUTTE, Mont., May 16.—Martin Fowler, elevator boy in the Clark building, early this morning was the victim of a myste- rious assault.

In some places they re- ported the snow was fourteen feet deep. To-day weather changed and be- came very cold It is feared that it Is snowing in the glacial meadows. Plenty of blankets and a good shelter tent were provided by the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company and, although it does snow, the President will ‘be very com- S fortable. Some in his party say that this is just the kind of a trip he will enjoy. Severe weather cannot frighten him. If he makes Glacier Point to-night he will have covered thirty-five miles of the | hardest kind of mountain climbing. To-morrow night, it is thought, he will camp in Little Yosemite. Mr. Muir is | making the itinerary and as he discov- ered the Little Yosemite, it is likely he will go there. Those are excellent camp~ | ing grounds and fine fishing. Monday morning the President will come down | the Vernal and Nevada falls trafls and gallop down the valley to the Bridal Veil, a distance of six and a haif miles, where he will meet his stage leaving the valley. It is thought that he will not stop at the lower hotel at all, as he said on leaving that he did not want to step Inside of a hotel for three days. CHANGE OF PROGRAMME. The Yosemite Commissioners and peo- ple In the valley are sorely disappointed that the President is not going to make them a visit. They have decorated the valley profusely and had arranged a lengthy programme, but the President sald he was tired of electric lights, bombs, etc., and that he intended to en- joy himself up here. His sole guide for this trip is Muir and when any one asked him what was going to be done he re- ferred them to Muir. Severai itineraries | were arranged for him. but Muir had ar- ranged an entirely different one. Secre- tary Loeb was the onj¥ one in his party that knew of the pfoposed plans.
