i'lfiOAao. 111., Junf 28.—Paulfrrt Plotka goes free. She was acquitted last night of the murder of Dr. Anton J. Jindra, interna at the county hospital. The verdict was returned by a jory in Judge Sabath's Court at 8 o'clorit. k

The jtirr was mit three and a bfclf boars. Five ballots were taken. The first three stood 10 to 2 for acquittal. The fourth was 11 to 1 for aoquittal, and the fifth was unanimous in turning: the defendant free. "Now may we step over and strafce hands with the little lady?" was the first question addressed to the court by Nicholas H. StSLhl, foreman of the Jury, *a soon as Clerk Tom L,aTtn had read Oia verdict.

Plotka IMojKI tie ve*«et wtfh a but she straightened in her 1mw minutes later, after the

Josvn bad congratulated her, Mr. and frank J. MHnheTI. tn whoee busi«tM was employed, took her arm aad led her across the room, where she 4took hands with Assistant State's Attorney Irwin Walker, who, with Attorney OTSrten, directed the prosecution

No Demonstrtion.

There was no demonstration when the Verdict was announced. The court room was crowded with women who had packed the court day after day during the trial and who were once excluded from the court room for cheerinsr and applauding when a witness referred to Dr. Jindra as a "dirty cnr." Before the verdict was read Judge Sahath prave warning1 that any demonstration would be followed in those responsible being arraigned before him for contempt of court.

The jury retired at 4:30, and at Judge Sabath adjourned court. At 7 the crowd of women and men who have followed the trial were clamoring again for admittance. There was an abrupt hush in their chattering when a knocking at the door upprised of the fact that the Jury had reached a verdict. •V How She Met Verdict. "Pauline plotka, the "frail, shivering little shop girl," as her attorney, Patrick O'Donell, had described her in his address to the jury a few hours before, threw up her arms as if to ward off a blow and then bent forward and hid her face as the knocking: was heard.

peared to be about to faint. A moan was her only response to the. verdict that she was a free woman.

Friends hurried to the side of her mother and her sister, Laura Plotka, but until the jury reached her side no one went near the girl in the defendant's chair. Later she was surrounded by friends while her mother and sister waited on the outside of the circle to oongrtaulate her. "Ropes" O'Brien Ab*nt.

Assistant State's Attorney James C. O'Brien, whose convictions of murderers has earned him the Sobriquet of "Ropes" O'Brien, was not in the court room to learn that the girl had been freed. He was on his "way to Canada on an extradition case. During his argument to the jury in the afternoon, in which he demanded .that Pauline Plotka be convicted as a lesson to the community, O'Brien wore his "death tie" of flaming crimson.

Dr. Jindra was shot and killed at the county hospital on Feb. 15, 1»18. Miss Plotka pleaded at the trial that he had betrayed her and beaten her and that at the time of the shooting she was in the act of taking her own life when he interfered. During the struggle the revolver was fired. The girl claimed that her memory was a blank as to what had occurred until the next morning.

Th# Other Woman there. Hi the court room sat Linda IGBStner, the girl for whom Jindra Is said to have thrown over PauHne, and who has been one of the determined prosecutors of the girl. The Kostner girl, wealthy and a beauty, said the Plctka girl hounded the doctor she finally slew, and that she was the pursuer, instead of being pursued.

IS WATEE BOILING? WATCH EVERY DETAIL FOR SUCCESS

Canning Is Now Made Easy By Modern Methods, Sayf Expert.

Back up the cannon with the canner.' And (ion't forget to blanch and cold dip all vegetables.

This improves color and texture and prevents shrinkage. The following lesson gives in* valuable suggestions for beginners and all others Interested in canning.

Experienced housewives are sometimes uncertain as to when water really boils. Simmering water is frequently mistaken for boiling water, and this is a very serious error when applied to cold pack canning. A large amount of steam may rise and the surface be slightly agitated, but water is not boiling until large bubbles of steam arise and burst all over the surface. This appearance indicates the right temperature, 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the lowest safe tempera-

ture for sterilizing in cold pack canning. When the boiling point is reached, the water will not become any hotter even if it boils violently. Begin to count time when the water bolls.

It is a good plan for the novice in canning to have directions for the different steps in canning before her. so that she can constantly refer to the printed or script directions—and also at the outset be sure that she understands each direction exactly.

Don't trr to tmpn&re the method. Experts have been working on canning problems for many years. The points emphasized are important.

The blanching water should be boiling when the product is put into it. The same water may be used over again a reasonable number of times for the same product, but the water for the cold dip should be changed each time.

Both fruits and vegetables of different sorts may be sterilized in the same canner, and jars may be added from time to time provided the water is kept boiling,

On removal from the cannSr sometimes the rubbers burst out at some point. This is due to pressure of Inside steam outward. Fold a clean towel over the hand, pnsh the rubber back in place quickly and tighten the seat

Don't open a jar to pot on ft fresh rubber after removing the Jar from the canner without replacing the j*u" in canner and resterilizing. Allow Ave minutes for fruits and fifteen for vegetables!.
