A jury of eight women and four men decided Mrs. Andrews was Innocent of the fatal shooting July 15 of her 19-year-old farmboy protege. Jay Ixrvett. after deliberating six hours and 10 minutes. Sitting tensely as the jury filed into the courtroom, took their seats and were asked for the verdict by Judge Henry G. Jorgensen. Mrs. Andrews suddenly relaxed and smiled as the "not guilty" verdict was read. Her ex-army corporal husband Frank took both her hands and smiled. After the verdict was announced, Mrs. Robbie Lovett, mother of the dead boy. exclaimed: "She can t get away with it.” The verdict failed to clear up the mystery of Lovett's death on a road a few hundred yards from the Andrews' driveway. A .25 caliber automatic similar to one the wealthy socialite said was missing from a drawer In her bedroom was found near the body. Mrs. Andrews was indicted less than three weeks later after Lovett's body had been exhumed The state charged she killed Lovett because she was Jealous of Mrs. Nancy Linde, a neighbor. the track to the lasFountaiu Handle plant, pending outcome of injunction suit.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EEVEN THE THOUGHT of “naming the Any- c tried Laura through the tirat quarter of an hour of waiting. Once or twice the phono rang, but win answered by Mias Tiller outside. Laura smiled tainuy. It was strange how she had ->ever worried about Mws Tiller or. indeed, anyone else, until thia girl from New York had come along And once she and Russell were married there would he no cause for worry, either. He wasn't the kind of man to do things in a sneaky way and have affairs. He . . . She broke off aa her casual glance caught a letter only half covered by a blotter. It was headed, "Dear Laura,” and began: Thia ia a hard latter to write, but It la easier than trying to explain otherwise. Last night . . . The letter broke off there. She smiled and sat back tn the big, chair, holding he sheet of paper in her long fingers. So he had realized what he’d done tn spite at his seeming Lidifferenoa last night. After sleeping on IL he'd felt he was safer in writing a letter of apology. And last night did need explanation. But she wasn’t going to ask for any. She had no desire to make him tell her. It was all the doings of that Anne Wilson—there was no doubt of that, though probably he would be chivalrous and try to defend her. So it was best to Ignore the whole thing. Once she and Russell hat* agreed on things, then Anne could be disposed of quietly. It all seemed very easy, as things did when she gave them her complete attention. She was smiling when Russell came Into he room. He almost plunged in. She got up and, putting both arms about him, kissed hie lips lightly. "Don’t look so surprised. I just dropped In." He swallowed • lump tn Ms throat "Miss Tiller says you’ve been here an hour." She laughed. "Suppose I have. It’s been nice waiting for you hero. I don’t think I ever had a chance to sit in your tSce before. 1 like It It’s a good place for thinking. And you know you might at least thank me for waiting so long.” Ha drew a deep breath. Tm gtad you came. 1 want to talk to you." She sank back into the big chair and smiled up at him. "I know. You tried to write me a letter about it Since it said, ‘Dear Laura.'

That’s what I was going to write you about." She leaned forward. “Russen, let’s be quite sensible and forgot all about last night. Anne wandered out and you met her on Morris street I didn’t know and locked the door, so you stood talking with her until I let her in.
