ELLA GINGLES FREE

Charge of Thsft.
MISS BARRETTE IS EXONERATED
Story Told by the Defendant on the
Witness Stand of Being a "White
Slave" Victim Is Denounced by the
Jury as Untrue Reach Verdict Aft
er Nearly Seven Hours' Delibera
tion. Chlcngo, July 20. Ella Glngles was
cleared from tho charge of stealing
lace, but tho story buo told on the
witness stand of being a "white slave"
victim was denounced us untrue by
the Jury that treed her.
The verdict in tho caso was a fitting
cllmnx to tho peculiar series of sensa
tions that have followed the little
Irish lacemaker. This was tho form,
as read by tho clerk:
"We, tho Jury, find the defendant
not guilty, und we, the jury, further
find thnt the charges mado against
Miss Agnes Bnrrette wero unfounded
and are untrue."
Tho bnsls or tho defenso made by
the Glngles girl, who wns on trial for
stealing lace fr&m Miss Barrette, was.
that Miss Barrette and others had at
tacked her and mistreated her In tho
Wellington hotel on two occasions last
winter, and that tho object of these at
tacks and the animus back of the
chargo was the nttempt to sell her
to an unnamed man In French Ljck
Springs, Ind.
Tho Jury reached a verdict after
nearly seven hours' deliberation. The
court room wns nearly vacant at the
tlmo the Jury came In. A few of the
women who have stood by tho Irish
girl since the day her story became I
public wero there. They arose and 1
clapped their hands and screamed .
when the words "not guilty" were ut- I
tercd, and It was some time before ,
they realized the Import or the last
half of the verdict. J
