unarkabla trials Of its class In the annals Of our
couTts.
Recorders Court
The greater part,of yesterday was occupied
In this Court by the trial Of q man named Ken
nedy for assault with intent to kill It seems
TINT Mrs Wilson and her husband, residing in
this city, were sitting by their fire one night
some six months since, when Kennedy, like
roaring lion seeking whom he might dcvqur,
came into their peaceful prcmisea, seized Mrs.
Wilson "by her two shoalders" and endcavored
to Get her whole body into the stove. She
rather objected to such proceedings. But
Kennedy say tho Prosccution-succeedcd
In getting her head and shoulders in, and IS
consequence she was horribly burned. Her
husband, meantime, sat calmly by and offered
no resistance, hut, Rip VIM Winklo-1ike, pat-
fed his pipe mud said nothing. It YVES not un-
til the man Kennedy WIS about ts attack him
that he made demonstration-that was to-
ward the door. As matter Of course, Wh1bky
was mingled with fire In this case, and after
wards poison came in. On another occasion,
1t is claimed, Kennedy brought Mrs. Wilson
bottle which hc said contained whisky, butno
sooner had she partaken Of it than she cred
ont, F" am poisoned r She had taken chem"
ical compound composed Of muriatfc acid and
zinc, and commonly used for soldering pur-
poses. But 1t did not Kill her: / doctor Tas
called and the acid neutrali1ed, aud the in
tended victim lives to confront her would-be
murderer
On the first count Of tho indictment-that
Of the burniug-the jury rendered verdict
of "not guilty." in the afternoon. A Nolle

tried for the attempt to poison.
