The precedent established in the Harris case
was partially reversed to-day in cause tried De
fore Judge Wylie, in the same court in which
Miss Harris was acquitted, and in part, by the
same Jury which decided that 1t is justifabie
homicide when a woman kills her lover because
he did not marry her. One Horatio Maloney
loved and lived with Florence Wilson, pretty
little woman, about the size and appearance o.
Miss Harris. Florence vowed eternal love and
fidelity to Horatio, but she would keep company
contrary 70 Horatio's expressed wish, with man
other than Horatio. So Horatio inserted ths
blade of ANAL knife somewhere in the vicinit.
of the fifth rib of Florence and made quite
scratch and Florence told her story to the jury
who found Horatio guilty, and he was sentences
to eight years'imprisoment in the penitentiary.-

tablikhn.ons-A Gay Young wife and
Gosaipin9 Public Responsible for
the Mischief.
From the Albany Journal, 17th,1
Quito sensation has been created In mer-
camille circles By the nbscouding OF the Junior
member Of Nh extensive pork firm On South
broadway, consisting Of father and son..
The son has for. his wife young woman
TINT he had married In Western city, who
has proved to be Of The most gay and volatile
disposition. Not long since rumor had it
that she had clipped with m accomplished
Brazilian, with whom she had been intimate
in boarding house On State street but the
reported elopement proved to be untrue, the
fact being that she had returned home to her
fathers lonse, in consequence of the stories
to said intimacy.
On her return to this city, it was soon cyi-
dent to herself and her husband that life in
Albany was every way undesirable to them.
The, firm had an amount Of money On deposit
in one Of onr banks. The woman owed no
good VIII to her fatherin-1aW, on account Of
:. Ms opposition to her frivoiitles, aud she de-
sired to get hold Of that money for her own
purposes. It is therefore supposed. With yery
good reason, that she determined to secure it
as means to crafty her lore Of folly and
fashion, and persuaded her husband to draw
1t from the bank. The nmount Of this sum
We hare not definitely ascertained, but under
stand 1t to na'e been grossly exaggerated in
reports on The street. The money Was drawn
and. the pair started for New: York.
On learning Of this movement, the old gen.
tleman Immediately started In pursuit OF the
runaways, and found them last Thursday in
the Metropolitan Hotel, New York city. He
was accompanied BY younger son, who went
up to their room. The wife sent down word
that her husband was out, but that she would
soon come down. By this ruse tho husband
was enabled to slip over to- Brooklyn whila
his wife entertained her fathcz-iu.laW until the
conviction forced itself upon his mind that ho
had been sold. :: :. Il
He then vent for q detective. The officer
very SOON compelled the woman to make a
full confession Of their plan, The trunks, she
