| From tie Troy Tines.
DIST. Att'y Banker has been requested
/ to furnish the governor with Information
in regard TO the trial and conviction Of Mrs.
Henrietta Robinson the ''vci.e1 murder
ess, now ID prison At Siug sing; for whose
pardon-efforts are baiag made by some %
her friends. The case was one Of tic most
remarl able ia the criminal Jurisprudence
Of the country.
Mrs. Robinson was woman Of di-rcpu-
table character, and lived IN little house
Oh the west side Of River street, near ! au~
dcrhcyden One day -he entered i saloon
kept By nan named Timothy flanagan, on
the opposite corner, and while there pois
0ned pitcher OF beer, OF which flanagan
seized with fatal lines, and died OF the
poison This was in 1913. Mrs. Il. was
arrested for he crime, and tried for the
murder Of the man alone. The present
judge ilogcbo0m was employed to assist
the prosecution, and mainly through his
efforts She was convicted and sentenced II
be hanged. The defense was insanity :;
but the trial took place before that plea
became 50 potent in murder eases, and the
criminal was held to full responsibility for
her double crime. The governor was
more !enient toward the culprit than the
court and jury, and commued the pun>
lshment to imprisonment for life.
The case excited attention throughout
the country. Mrs. Robinson was then
about 80 years Of age, and was said to be a
woman of surprising beauty. All were
anxious TO see her face; but no Efforts OF
the judge or counsel employed could induce
her to lift the veil which covered her fca-
lures and show them to the world. Once
we believe she complied will an imperative
order OF the court SO far as to raise il for u
moment to enable the Judge to gain one
Transient view Of her handsome and intclli-
gent countenancc. She has been immurcd
for nearly ID years within the walls OF =
prison: and was almost forgotten BY the
world. It seems that some enc still re-
members with affyctiou4te interest the
'FeI!cl murdGrcSS. and Is enicayorinC to
open her prison doors, and give her the
d lights Of liberty once lIvTe ere death
c.0>cs her career.
The Governor has delic: te luty TO dis
charge n considering the application for
her pardon. It was the onini6n oftha late
loo Picrson, who defended Mrs. Robinson
without fee or the hope Of reward that she
was insane. \ great many Of our citizens
who hcc1ne interested Ia her case, Coin
cldcd IL tlis view. II insane She ought
not to be confined in a state prison, but
should be transferred 10 a pI0Dar a>~lum.
II insane at the time Of the commission OF
the murdcr, and sane at the present Il &c.
would the Governor be doing right to keep
her any longer IN confinement?

rounded by several generals, the imperial
Piquerres, in green and gold, being the
