THE Visalia Delta is not salts fled
with the Legislative record of Assem-
blyman Garfield. The Tulare county
paper should remember that it was
almost impossible for a member to do
all the good he wished in the last ses-
sion. Mr.. Garfield was an earnest,
Woodworking member, and if he failed
in few particulars it was more for
want of cooperation than lack OF
energy on his part.

A TELLING point has been made

A TELLING point has been made
against the temperance people of Oak
land. Mrs. Jennie M. Cutter, prom
inent worker in the good cause, has
been lying i'll and destitute for some
time in that city, and although the
temperance societies were notified, no
attention was paid to her until the
fact came to the ears of the liquor
dealers, who Immediately gave her as
sistance. The societies should not for
get the lesson of this rebuke.

The Sacramento Bee asserts that
the laws passed by the last Legislature

weeks. If the Bee is correct there has

A Great Female Criminal Deed.

A few days ago announcement WAS made
Elizabeth lleggic, at Sing Sing. Twelve or
thirteen years ago the name of this woman
was iamiiar with newspaper readers Of this
State. Then she was before the public in
the role of hardened criminal Now all
that is left of her is the corpse of a convict,
and the memory of her evil deeds The eS-
act year we do not rcca but early in the
sixties a daughter of Mrs. IIeggic, aged
about twenty years, died suddenly at her
home in Ithaca. Tight lacing was among
the causes assigned for her death. Some
thing over year elapsed, and another
daughter, then arrived at the age attained
by her sister, was stricken down as the first
had been. Both had been lavortes with
the young people of their village Both had
enjoyed good health and borne the promise
of long life. The death of the second aroused
suspicion, which finally took the shape of an
Inquest and po>t-moricm examination
Poison was found to have been the cause of
the second daughters death, The remains
Of the first We're cxhum2l and evidences of a
like agent found At length suspicion fell
on the mother. She was arrested, and the
crime unmi@takably fixed on her. The plea
of insanity was intcrpoScl in her behalf.
This issue was tried at Ithaca bef ,re a ury,
Hon. Charles Mason, now Of this CITY, on
the bench. The people were represented by
Hon. John Cochraae. then Attorney Gen
eral Of the State; the defence was MAIN
tanned by Hon. Franci, NJ. Finch, Of Ithaca.
After a patient trial the jury pronounced
Mrs. lleggie sane, She was rcmandcd for
trial ON the main issue, for murder This
trial was held at cortland. General j. III.
MartindaM, who had meantime succeeded to
the Office Of Attorney General. conducted the
prosecution. The prisoner was convicted
of murder in the first degree. Her sentence
of death was subsequently commuted to I'M
prisonment for life, at Sing Sing There, rs
announced, Il few days ago her terrible life
ended
1t was developed in Mrs. lIeggie's case
that she had attempted to poison several
