AfRs. KINNEY-THE CASE or POISONING
The grand Jury of Boston have had the case oil
Mrs. Kinney, who is charged with murderlng
her husband by poison, under consideration iof
several days past, and presentlnent may De eA-
pected early this week. This is an extraordlnA-
nv and mysterious case, and the trial viii excite
very great interest. The most eminent legal
ability in Boston is engaged. Mrs. Kinney mas
been the wife Of three husbands. she Is accused
of the murder of the last, and strange rumors
are afoat concerning the death Of the others
We have sent reporter to Boston, who VIII
furnish every day full particulars OF the trial
up to the hour when the cars leave.
Judge Putnam, of the Supreme Court, charged
the grand jury at considerable length, chiefly IN
relation to the crime Of murder by poison. lie
stated that no degree Of provocaion could qualliy
the enormity Of such an offence, a. IT was an act
which required time, plan and purpose. Deli
beration and evil intent were indicated by the
very mode Of taxing life by poison. The malice
aforethought, or evil mind OF such an offender
was 80 great, that if he or she should mingle the
poisonous potion with intent to kill only one
persoi,. and bv accident it should De taken by
another person, the crime OF wilful murder would
be completed; and to this point the judge cited
an affecting case which occurred in England
during the reign OF Queen Elizabeth.
a married gentleman unhappily conceived a
violent passion for woman and was determined
to have her, and undertook TO remove the oHly
obstacle to the union, his wife, BY poison, which
he placed in an apple. This apple he gave to
her in the presence of his daughter, to whom he
was much attached The mother eat small
part of the apple, and then handed It to the
daughter, who commenced eating it. The father
was now agoaizcd with conflicting emotions
the fear of the consequences to himself, If he
should disclose the fact that the apple was
charged with poison, and on the other hand, the
fear that his daughter would be poisoned: Winnie
these thoughts were passing in mis- mind and
kept him undecided, the girl finished the apple,
and died in consequence, but the wife survived
The accidental killing of the daughter under
these circumstances, was justly held 10 be muir
der, for murder was in lis hearty: Y. Herald
