March 2 The jury in the case of Dr Orville S Burnett who has been on trial charged with the murder of Mrs Charlotte S Nichol of Nashville Tenn returned a verdict of guilty and recommended that Burnett be sent to tho penitentiary for fifteen years Burnetts attorneys will ask for a new trial tomorrow The verdict was a surprise as Judge Bakers instructions to the jury were considered favorable to the defendant Tho case was one of the most unusual that has ever been tried in tho Cook county criminal court Burnett who is a young dentist was charged with being accessory before and after the fact to the death of Mrs Nichol even though it was admitted by the prosecution that Mrs Nichol had commited suicide The state endeavored to establish the point that Burnett and Mrs Nichol agreed to commit suicide together and that the man weakened allowing the woman to go to her death alone Tho defense disputed that there had been any agreament between the two to end their lives together and asserted that Mrs Nichol had taken her own life while Burnett was lying intoxicated at her side The New Meat Market Sam A Moore is prepared to promptly fill all your wants in cold storage meats of all kinds He
