Wilkesbarre, Penn., Oct. 1.
Mr. Theodore Dreiser himself has been engaged by a newspaper to report the proceedings of a murder trial here which has been given wide publicity as the "American Tragedy Case," bo- cause of its similarity to the plot of Dreiser's novel of the same
name.
It is alleged that the 23-year- old accused, Robert Edwards, murdered his sweetheart. Freda McKechnie, who was expecting a child, while they were swimming in a lake, so that he would be
irce to marry another woman.
Edwards has pleaded not guilty and his counsel is maintaining that his "confession" was untrue and obtained under duress.
The jurors were selected Mon- day and evidence will be given os October 2-Renter.

Chicago, Oct. 1.
The trial of the great industrial figure, Mr. Samuel Insull, Sr., starts here to-morrow. It is expected to last for many weeks and the prosecution will attempt to prove that the operations of the $3,000,000,000 Insull Utilities System were fraudulent,
It will be the greatest court sensation in the finan- cial history of the United States, it is believed.
Samuel Insull and Martin Insull, his son, together with fifteen defendants, will be arraigned in connection with the collapse of the numerous Insull utility com- panies.
Once owning a personal for cune of g168,000,000, Nir, Insull senior, now is said to be a com- paratively poor man: but that. nccording to tho close observers
