I "I won't come back to wake you I up," she told him. She didn't come back. Her body | waa found m u smokehouse near her home in ftharon last night, a victim of poiaon, after an intensive search. Her disappearance and the discovery of her body had the little community in a fever of excitement, to which rumors of possible foul olav added fresh fuel. * A coroner's jury will probably in hw fc,tb Tne?rt.* tfM>noon. Indications pointing to suicide were strengthened by her husband's .statement that she had been worried the night before and that she had several tidies threatened to take her life. No note of explanation wa^left, however, and she was apparently in the best of health. Investigators explained blood about her body and a bruise on the head by - injuries received in a fail. Scratches on hdr throat, they said, were selfinflicted in the agony caiised by the poison, which had badly burned her thront and lips. She had been dead about seven* hours, according to physicians, when her body was found at dusk by neighbors. An autopsy was conducted at King's Mountain, N. C.f today and physicians stated they, found lysol ir iirs.

Dennis Acquitted On Liquor Charge Charleston, JMl. 24.?Forty-fly* minutes deliberation was required by the jury to acquit Senator E, J, D?.n. nis of, Berkeley county, and six codefendants, charged in federal court here with conspiracy to violate tho national prohibition law. The jury, which took the case at 5:45 o'eloca when Judge Ernest F. Cochran coneluded his charge, returned to the court room at ?:30 o'clock. Ihe snowy-haired senator wept a? the foreman announced the verdict. And broke down in the arms of his son, a senior in Furman university,. *he court room. ^ "I know how my clients must feel," Jten&Uix Hiurnla. aaid. H* i* * ing lawyer of BePkeley county .and has handled virtually all the criminal work of the county for a score of years. Indicted with him were:' S. N. Rourk, J. N. Myers, and Raybourn Anderson, state constable?; James Anderson, a magistrate's constable, *. Jervey Villeponteaux, and John Jager, a Negro. They were accused of being linked in a corrupt liquor1 ring, the constables seizing liquor, the senator defending the bootleggers, and the two other defendants peddling the liquor seized by the raiders. Three of the 13 defense lawyers addressed the jury. All made impassioned talks, and one Edgar A. Brown, senator from Barnwell county, had a clash with Judge ErneaiF. Cochran which for a moment looked Serious when he persisted in bringing '/! Glennie McRnight of Berkeley county, who had not appeared in the case. Others of defense counsel who addressed the jury were VV. Turner Logan, former United States congressman, and Olajad. ?L.Sapp of Columbia. Each of the throe attorneys consumed the entire time allotted them by the court?a half hour apiece-^?John H. McEvers, special United States attorney of Washington, who has prosecuted the case, spoke an hour and a quarter in a dispassionate resume of the government's evidence. He spoke minutes in rebuttal. Judge Cochran took an hour and a quarter to deliver his charge to the jury. There had been 39 witnesses in the case, which came to a close at the end of the fourth court day in Eastern district United States court. Thirty-five of the witnesses were called by the government. Beginning with Governor John G. Richards/ they included a number of other state and county officials and a - dozen Berkeley county moonshiners who testified to alleged corrupt practices prohibition enforcement in Berkeley county. Senator Dennis took the stand in his own defense. He was the only important witness for the defense of the four called to? testify. He denied all the charges. Mr. Brown, of defense counsel, told the jury in his address that Glennie McKnight was responsible for the charges brought against Senator Dennis. McKnight's name has been .-mentioned in the testimony in an indefinite manner during the trial, and Senator Dennis had called him "the biggest bootlegger in the cdunty." Judge Cochran instructed Mr. Brown t<? omit references to him in his address to the jury, saying that it was irrelevant to the case on trial. When Mr. Brown persisted, he called the lawyer down rather sharply. "I have ruled on that matter," he said, "if you wish to have it out with tho court, the cburt has means to pro| tect itself," the judge told the at| torney. Mr.v Brown said he had a [ high respect for the court, and with | a ple^ant remark, made the judge smile and the incident was forgotj ten. Later Judge Cochran said he wishL jaL_lo correct a mis^ndcrgfaadini made public, perhaps through an eri ror of the newspapers that he had | rebuked counsel for the defense, sayI ing he had merely confined them to the 'evidence.
