The attention of the Governor is called
to the fact that Sisney and Spence, the
two last victims Of the Williamson coun-

should arouse him into action. DR..

was Democrat, and it didn't matter;

NAMED passive, she was no criminal IN the law.
General Tracy then stated number OF cases
where y was held tnat vile could not be par
uclpant In the husbands crime.

Moore claimed that the exception IN IaVor OF
VIE ala not extend 10 the crime OF MURDER. ana
quoted from number Of authorities 10 sustain
the proposition. IL was SHOWN by the testimony
that there was disturbance and woman
screaming in the room after the man Merrl-
gan went away. According 70 that,
II the net was committed at all, II
must nave been subsequent TO the first dis
turbance. Mrs. Kipp had testified that she only
thought she heard the mans voice. Mr.. Moore
concluded by OBSERVING tnat the question was
more Tor the Jury than for the Court.
General Tracy SAID there was only one distur-
bance. There was only natural difference TO
time between the witnesses. Mrs. BIRD mad tes-
claimed that IL was not sufficient Tor the prosecu-
zion TO prove tnat Mrs. Merrigan was present.
Tney must prove that she was participant IN the
crime.
After some further argument q recess was Ia
ken. Upon the reopening OF tine Court Justice
Pratt aaid he was inclined to think that the case
should be submitted TO the jury. 30 far as the
Court had been able TO determine during the re-
cess the theory OF coercion did not apply 10 the
crime OF murder The counsel Tor the uelence
consulted for o few moments ana then General
II IL the &c Court Would charge - that the ac-
the crime. The Assistant District Attorney said
the action oil the defendants counsel had taken
him by surprise. Tne prosecution desired 20 pro-
duce witnesses to prove that Mr.. MerTiqan was
away from home 1T work at the time OF the muir
der. long argument ensued between counsel,
after which Justice Pratt said he required time
to consider so important motion ana would
render his decision to-day. The Court tnereupon
adjourned till this morning at ten O'Clock.
