Upon grounds of insanity, Wesley Mc Bride, the 15-year-old youth who killed Harry Long, a playmate, was found not guilty by a jury In Judge Estelle'i couit at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. The jury was out five hours before reaching Its verdict. With the verdict the Jury recommended that McBride be committed to tho state asylum for tho insane. McBride, who had been completely calm and unmoved during the trial, showed the first sign of emotion when the verdict acquitting him. was read. In that moment he bowed over and wept Ills father and mother, .who had sat with him throughout the ordeal, likewise, wept, on their son's shoulders and kissed him. It Is expected Judge Kstelle will Issue the order committing McBride to the asylum, as he has no other alternative than to comply with the recommendation of thn Jury. Attorneys for the defense say thcro will be no appeal. McBride shot Harry Long, 13 years old, to death November 27, 1909.

Big Family Discovers Mrs. Charles Goff and Large Brood in Possession Without For mality of Renting. . Oo out," said the real estate man to one of his aids, "and take a look at that house at 6245 Burdette. We ought to be renting that soon." When the aid came back to report, he said, "Why there's a family In it now." Investigation proved the truth of the solicitor's statement. Mrs. Charles Oof f ' and seven or eight small children are occupying the home and huvo occupied It for . some days without saying "by your leave,", or anything else, according to the agents. Ordinarily the Byron Reed company, which is agent, for, the housej would have an arrest made for trespassing, but the Goff family the children, at least Invites come degree of commiseration. The Associated Charities: has . helped the family several times, and the children's case is pending in juvenile court The father and mother are separated. Mrs. Goff, when asked ,how she had the nerve to move in, asserted that she had tried to find out who owned or rented the home, but had been unable to do so. The Reed company is a little skeptical of this, for a sign was tacked on the front of the house until about the date when the Got fa moved In. ' Up to date Mrs Goff is still holding the fort, and has changed the old proverb to read thus: "It's cheaper to move In quietly and then stand pat than to pay rent."

The Cudahy Packing company has reached no decision as to moving all or part of its general office force to Chicago. "Nothing has been decided," said E. A. Cudahy Saturday, "and will, not be for some time. , I can't say when." Further than this statement, Mr. Cudahy declined to discuss .the question of re moval at all, though he intimated that plans for. the projected new office building In South Omaha are not being rushed. The office force itself of the Cudahy Packing company knows very little of the proposed removal of the general offices. There la talk enough to warrant the feeling of expectancy , which prevails at the plant. When approached, must of the men from the general manager down became the In quisitors and wanted to know what founda tion there was . for certain newspaper articles. Patrick Sheehy, superintendent of the local plant said: "I would not give you a wrong impression, but we think there is something to the rumor of moving; but I would rather you would get all your In formation from Mr. Cudahy himself. ' General Manager Michael Murphy stated to prominent men in the Exchange build ing that he knew little of the proposed ie moval, but he was positive that there was not the slightest foundation or excuse for the statement that the removal was due to any quarrel over- the possession or the purchase ot reul estate. Most of , the live stock interests in all their branches expressed the opinion that the least said about the removal the better for the local market as the talk kept the local business stirred up and the rumors of the day had their direct effect upon the markets.
