IS LUSK
WAS GUILTY
OF MURDER
SAYS JURY
WAUKESHA. Wis., May 29. Grace
Lusk was found guilty here tonight
of second decree murder for the kill
ing of Mr. Mary Newman Roberts.
When the verdict was delivered
Miss Lnsk attempted to choke D. S.
Tullar, acting district attorney, but
was overpowered and led screaming
from the courtroom.
"It's a lie! It s a He, against met He
lied!" she screamed as she sprang at
the throat of the prosecutor.
The verdict carries Imprisonment
from 14 to 25 years.
Miss Lusk's condition became such
on returning to the jail that it re
quired nearly half an hour to return
her to the courthouse when the Jury
reached a verdict
The jury deliberated four hours.
Walter D. Corrigan for the prose
cution, and James Chancer, for the
defense, delivered the closing argu
ments. Mr. Corrigan, in demanding
the maximum penalty, declared that
neither Dr. David Roberta or Miss
Lusk was on trial for their relation
ship and that the only question to
be decided was responsibility for the
death of an Innocent woman.
Mr. Corigan argued that the words
and actions of the defendant proved
her sane at the time of the shooting.
Mr. Clancey cited the stories told
on the witness stand by both Mlas
Lnsk and Dr. Roberts as the best
proof that the defendant was insane,
arguing that a woman of her admitted
social and educational attainments
would be incapable of the things re
vealed if she were sane. .
Miss Lusk listened to the closing
arguments of the state with hardly
a trace of emotion, but broke down
completely after the case had gone to
the jury and sobbed in her father's
arms.

CRICKET FIGHTING. ,
TKE Chinese are inveterate

portunity to bet, no matter how trivial
the cause may be. One of their great
institutions it cricket-fighting, the
crickets being caught, fed, and trained
as carefully as a blooded horse. There
is a fixed diet for them, part of their
food consisting of honey and boiled
chestnuts. If they get sick they are

A CEYLON DAINTY.
IT is estimated that two-thirds of the
island of Ceylon is undermined by
white ants. The number of these in
sects is certainly quite incalculable;
but is fortunate that their natural ene
mies arc almost as numerous.
The workers are preyed upon by
true ants, and many oth.fr insects; by
spiders, lizards and centipedes; by
rats, mice and palm squirrels.
But it is the adult winged insects
that are especially victimized. It is
probable that scarcely one per cent,
of the mature insects survive the dan
gers of the periodic fights.

Dear Friend:
I am somewhere In Franco, and
feeling fine and getting fatter every
flay. I have one of the finest (french
moustaches ynu ever saw, and It is
really better than anybody's In thu
company.
I received your letter some time
ngo, and was sorry that I was not
able to answer the same before this.
1 do hope these lines find yo.i well,
and feeling as good as I do.
France Is a very pretty country,
and also hlstorto. There are very many
beautiful old castles made of solid
rock, and It Is sure some sight to gaze
upon these. The smaller residences
are constructed of stone too. You see
wood are very scarce In thlti coun
try, and this Is the reason the build
ings are built of stone. Our house Is
built of stone, but ha wooden doors
with double locks. We have a fire
place with mantel too, but have very
little fire in tho fireplace.
You may like to hear of our trip
acroaa the ocean. I will try and tell
you about It. Well, we left old New
York Harbor one dark night, when
we were, all In bed sound asleep.
When we awoke the following morn
ing, we were out of sight of land. We
were all happy and fooling good. After
about three days at m It began to
get a little rough, and some of the
boys became seasick. After passing
over the ocean for days, we landed
safely In France.
I have made many friends here
among the French people, and have
learned the French language very
well, I mean "get by with It."
I have a pretty French Miulauuelle,
I think I will bring her back to the
States with me. Ha! Ha!
In another letter he has the follow
ing: You asked about Charlie Myers
Well, I do not know exactly whore
he Is. He left our company some time
ago. and some of the boys say he was
sent back to the states. If so, he must
be there by this time.
Sluee writing you before I am now
able to understand the French langu
age very well.
After raising my moustache, I also
raised a beard, but the boys here say
that I looked so much like a count,
that they made me shave It off.
The apple trees are now In blos
som, and with the meadows green,
make a very pretty sight.
Well. I must close, and will write
