July 16. -An ixtraor dinary scene was witnessed In the court room of Recorder Goff, when a jury acquitted Mrs. Lizzie Maddu of killing her husband with a jotato knife. The recorder nas charged the iour"- lnal MP'sion, n one oc . . . Icurred which. In the ex.;itid condition Jury strongly for conviction end few r t()wn )g mpoBBMe ftwer. believed the defne could hope for anything better than a dhaKreenv-nt. Even the prisoner, who had bn Mo ical throughout the trial, cried as the recorder finished his charge. Mrs. Maddus five children, Including her nrin-born Infant, were 1n court and In the nearby corridor. When the jury returned and the foreman an- nouncd the verdict, said to the prisoner: Recorder Goff " The ancients had a law whereby. In the case of a very outrageous crime they could Infllcit, and something lnal to live that he might suffer the sham" of his crime, which they con sidered a severer punishment than any they counld inflict, and something like thl" must have been In this Jury's mind wh-n they let you live and look upon the face of your children, the children whom you have made orph ans. The result of this verdict, most extraordinary as It Is, even In the face of your own testimony, give you your 'reedom, but you will carry with you the remembrance that you have mur dered your husband and orphaned your children. You may go." The recorder refused to order the restoration to the mother of the two children who have ben placed in the care of a charitable society.

The 1200 foot level of the Duly Went corresponds to and Is connected by tunnel with the 600-foot level of the Ontario, In the Daly Wst mine between 100 and ISO men were at "work. In the On tarlo were nearly 100, It Is believed. NUMBER CANNOT BE ESTIMATED It Is not known how many of thfe are dead, but the dlfiaster extends to the On'arlo, m the noxious gases that have been lot loose are known to be the cause of several of the deaths. The presence of these gases lead miner to believe that the powder wus tain, was not the chief cause of the jdi.hster. Thre are two powder magazines at the 1200 foot level of the Daly West, one at each side of the shaft, with a capacity of one to two cars of pow der each A car of powder was added to the supply within the pant few days. Thr dead men have been takn out l0f the Ontario shaft. They are: G.orge Garvin, Swelbel, employes of Ed Copp, who has the ore hauling contract for the Daly West, and So dcrup, a miner employed in the On tario, who was working at least a mile from the magazine that explod ed.

Wo men and children are thronging to the Ontario flhaft house .which la midway between Park City and the Daly West mine. Nearly all of them have hus bands and fathers tin the mines, and theJr grief Is pitiable. - All of the doctors in town are at efther of the mines.
