of a situation. On Friday night she retired to rest at the
usual hour. The next morning, a strange noise having been
heard in her bedroom, she was found sitting on the aide of
the bed with her throat cut in a frightful manner, the look-
ing-glass placed immediately in front of her, and a razor,
covered edit blood, with which she had inflicted the injury,
lying on the floor. Medical assistance was 'patently pro-
cured, but the unfortunate woman ceased to exist shortly
afterwards. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
Insanity."
