Antoinette Dunlap was acquitted Jan. 8 at Aledo, 111., of the charge of poisoning her chum, Allie Dool, by means of chocolates containing strych­ nine. The jurors worked over the tes­ timony all of the night On the first ballot they stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction. When tbe next ballot was taken there were four for conviction, and then the sentiment turned in her favor, and on the sev­ enth ballot all were in favor of ac­ quittal. Lack of motive was the strong point in bringing over the three men who at first voted for a verdict of guilty. The verdict was a surprise to every­ body, apparently, except to the de-' fendant When tile verdict was read thefre tell how happy I am to know that | there is no disgrace resting upon th« family and myself." The acquittal of Miss Dunlap . was Jl due to the failure of the prosecution to establish a sufficient motive for the *^4^ - crime and the absence of any proof ^ that the defendant knew the candy •. which she gave Miss Dool contained v ^ * strychnine.

Mrs. Dunlap's usually pallid face was flushed with the emotion she felt, and she allowed hSr tears to flow un­ restrained. Her daughter was the picture of self-possession. She went calmly from one juror to another ex­ pressing her gratefulness in a low tone and conducting herself much as if she was at a church social. "I have never doubted at any time that I would be acquitted," said Miss Dunlap after she left the courtroom. "I knew that I was innocent and be­ lieved in my heart I would be found innocent.
