WATER OF LIFE.
A Woman Follows Man for Twenty
Kanr

n OAA1n non v WHY
Years
A Miss Ellen Goodwin is now on trial
at Louisville for the offence of persiStently
following about the streets a man by the
name of Throckmorton whom, it is said,
she has pursued for the last twenty years,
from which we infer that she must have
commenced at a very early age, or that she
has lost some of the bloom of youth by this
time.
The testimony taken in the case is of a
very interesting character. Last Monday
two eminent physicians were put upon the
stand to testify with regard to the sanity
of the defendant, one of whom stated that
he had known her from childhood and that
he believed her TO be perfectly sane. The
other said he was convinced she was in
sane.
One witness testified infinitely with re-
gard to aconversation he heard between Miss
Goodwin and a police officer who threat
ened to arrest her for following Throck-
morton, but is utterly unable to say
whether said conversation occurred in 1854,
80 or SO. The case was given to the jury
Monday evening.
