It were well, also, to consider whether our

meeting is merely supplemental to the hold

The opportunity Of this general gathering has

drift was then taken. An attempt was
then made by the defence to crimi-
nate Delphi Lazerbury as one VINO
but the Judge promptly excluded all tes-
timony to this effect. Testimony OF Fenelon
Slack and Joel L. Nlckson was then taken as
to the character Of the prisoner, and was TO
the effect that she was kind and loving mo-
ther. Then followed llnlmportant testimony,
with which the defence closed. RebuttiDg
testimony was to the effect that DR.. Motifs bis
muth had never been known to produce dele
terious effects, and that very minute trace
of arsenic could readily be discovered. The
Judge informed the jury that the charge
the clerk had given them at the opening
of the trial was erroneous, and gave them
another to this effect: "If you find the
prisoner guilty, you are then to find whether
1t be murder In the flrgt degree or IN the Sec
ond degree; If you hD.d her guilty OF muraer
In the first degree, say 30, and no more; Dns
it you find her guilty Of murder IN tne seC1na .a
degree only, say 30; aud you are then 1urtner
to sscertaIn the term OF her imprisonment III

snch term be not less than five nor more tnan

mIIrder In the first or second degree, out
of voluntary mansaughter only, say go; ana

her imprisonment In the said jail and penl-
AVN
than one nor more than five years. II you
find her not guilty either of murder or Volun-
tary manslaughter, say 80, and no more"
The defence objected to this, but we're over
ruled, and Major John N. Orr then commenc.
ed the argument. He said that at the time OF
the poisoning there were but lWo persons IN
the house besides the child, Delphi and Mrs.
Lloyd, the former of whom knew nothing OF
the presence of arsenic there, while the latter
had been shown to have bought 1t. The State
having shown that arsenic was present, 1t was
for the defence to show why 1t was present, II
not for use such as assigned to 1t by the State.
He considered also the motive for the murder.
The husband of Mrs. Lloyd died In 1870, leav-
ing $500 worth of real estate and $4,000 IN
personal property.
Finally, after the deaths of the other chill
dren, the personality was brought to $2623,
and bv the death of Maud Mrs. Lloyd came
into the possession OF sl3ll so. By the law
of this State Mrs. Lloyd also participated In
the real estate, and 1t came at last that 10
Mrs, LLOYD and Maud was centered the $500 o.
real estate, and when Maud died Mrs. Lloyd
came Into possession Of Maud's portion, with
the exception of one-fourth, which went tt
her uncle, william Lloyd. Taking all together
Mrs. Lloyd gained two thousand dollars by the
death of her last child. We are told that Mrs
Lloyd ls a mother, and that her innocence
[ ought to be preserved. But the annals O
crime prove that maternity Is no conclusiy'

1.-THE hands will wash and the face will
cool, y said Uncle Reuben. 81 think that
when mother comes home and sees the pretty
curtains in the window, she won't complain
OF either hand or face.
Tired little JOSIE looked rested already, as
Uncle Reuben lifted her up to kiss her crimson
face and when dinner was over she went to
work with great zeal, Aunt Loltie had olpr-
ed to give her half Of the money and let the
boy finish the hair, but she would not con
sent; and although she had to sit alone--for
her aunt dared not to bring the delicate en-
broidery with which she was busy near the
flying threads of hair dust-she went brayely
on.
Oh how the little back did ache aud how
the little brown eyes did sting But when
Uncle Reuben came in again ut sunset, the
work was done, and the weary child lay asleep
in her chair. lie stepped up very softly to
her side aud laid bright new dollar note in
her lap.
Never was there a happier heart than Josie s
when, after supper, he took her out to walk,
and let her buy with her own hard-earned
money, the curtains for mother room,
Yes. she was happier just once in her life,
and that was when her mother going mp to
her room. when she returned from her jour
ney, asked Why, who put those pretty
curtains up here2" And on hearing from
Aunt Lotte Of Der little girls urselish love-.
took her In arms and said !" My own blessed,
darling child I'd rather have these than the
finest curtains that ever hung in a palace"
