Verdict Pleases Wife of Stokes ^ oman in Case Jubilant Over Clearing of Name From Mate's Charges. ny BERLIN MOORE TAYLOR. Intcrnntlona) New* Service Ppecinl Correspondent. rhicagn, March 14. — Denpite fhe fact of the acquittal by a jury of W. K. T>. Stokes, milllohaire New York hotel man, on a charge of conspiracy to defame his wife, Helen Eilwood Stokes, she was as jubilant today as her husband of the fact that he will not have to go to jail. Mrs. Stokes, feeling in the matter Is ascribed partly to the fact even during the heated atmosphere of the trial Stokes' attorneys declared they did not really believe that Mrs. Stokes was the "red headed Helen” named in the suit. Acquitted in til Minutes. Stokes was acquitted in 61 minutes by a jury of having conspired to de fame liis wife and to drag .her name through the flesh pots of Chicago's old underworld. Robert K. i.ee, negro, investigator, lured hy Stokes to carry on what thei state said was a fiendish design, and i what tile defense called a goosei chase, alSo was freed. When tlie verdict had been lead there ensued a scene of merrymak ing such as this 73 year old million aire probably hadn't seen since the days when he was "head kicker'' at Vale. The spectators broke into a furore of handclapping liecause this old man —"this foolish old man”—did not have to go to jail. Stokes Thanks Jurors. And Stokes helled his 73 years by leaping to his fr«t and running over to the jury box to shake the hand of enrh juror. "Justice has been done,” he said. He smiled and the jurors smiled hack, just as glad as he was to shake hands. Stokes also thanked the Judge, leaning over the tailing to do so. Lee was not in court at the time, Mrs. Stokes was not in court, either. Stokes Was speeding toward his home in New York today.
