DECATUR, ILL., Oct. 4. (Special)
Everything Is ready for an early
trial of the Fred Maglll-Fay Graham
murder case, which has been brought
to Macon county on change of venue
from DeWItt county. The case is the
second on the criminal docket, which
will be the first to be taken up when
court meets next Monday. The at
torneys for the defense say the ac
cused are ready to face the bar of
justice and are confident that the re
sult of the trial will be a complete
vindication. On the other hand,
Prosecuting Attorney Miller of De-
Witt county, who is In active charge
of the prosecution, believes that he
has m strong case, particularly
against Magill.
Whatever the result may be, tho
trial Is bound to attract as much at
tention as ever centered In a crlml
nal case In Illinois.
Fred Magill and his wife, formerly
Fay Graham, come from two of the
most prominent families In the
State. Magill and his first wife had
never been able to get along and It
was common talk that he was paying
attention to other women at Clinton,
especially Miss Fay Graham, who
had acted as his stenographer. On
May 31 of this year Mrs. Magill, who
was familiarly known as “Pet Magill,
was found dead at her home in Clin'
ton, and It was at first supposed that
she had committed suicide.
The circumstance surrounding the
case were of a strange nature, but
the authorities paid no attention
It until news came to Clinton that
Fred Magill and Fay Graham had
been married In Denver, and this but
a little over four weeks after his first
wife's death. It developed that a few
days after the death of his wife Ma
gill had disposed of his property,
drew his money from his father's es
tate and with Miss Graham and his
daughter. Marguerite, aged 17, left
Clinton.
Miss Graham, who Is the daughter
of W. W. Graham, a well-known res
ident of Clinton, led her parents to
believe that she was going to Chica
go to secure work as a stenographer,
and might also visit relatives In Kan
kakee,
When word was received that the
couple had been married In Denver
on July 5 an active Investigation was
started by tho Clinton authorities
and the result was that Magill and
his brldo were arrested In San Diego,
Cal., on July 13, and brought back to
Clinton and Indicted by tho grand
jury. The charge was first degree
murder. The Investigation,, it' Is
said, showed that Mrs. Magill had
been poisoned by chloroform.
The Magill family is one of the
wealthiest In Clinton, and prominent

LETTER TO
HISS ALICE STAL.

Americas,, Georgia.
W. P. Warlick.
Dear Madam: Here’s another prob
lem for those arithmetic and algebra
scholars:
If Dovot Is wqrth 3L75 a gallon,
and spreads a half further than aver
age paint, and wears twice as long,
what Is average paint worth a gallon
put on, painter's wages being 33.50
a day and a day's work a gallon of
paint
Hie answer is minus 31-75 a gal
lon. -That Is: you could afford to
paint with average paint if some
body gives It to you any pay half the
painters wages. ■
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.
The fox crop near Americus Is one
of the best tn years, though the dom-
Inccker Is lessened In proportion. Re
cently an Americus citizen, who loves
to follow the yelping hounds, placed
three fine red fox “cubs” on Mucka-
lee, at a point near the city, where
they were expected to fatten until he
got ready to run them with his dogs.
The foxes fattened all right, but the
fattening ammunition used was sixty
barred Plymouth Rock pullets worth
a dollar each and the property of a
neighboring farmer, who falls utterly
to see anything funny about the foxy
business. In the meantime the foxes,
fat and happy, are still out In the
woods, while somebody is out the
value of five dozen fine chickens
worth 318 a dozen.
