Trial of Mary Canaan for Infantfcide
The Prisoner Interposes a Technt-
cal Plea.
The second trial of Mary Canaan, indicted for
the murder of her infant child, on July Is, 1870,
was begun yesterday. The Indictment sets forth
that the accused gave birth to female child, and
then cut its throat with knife. She then carried
the infants corpse to the cellar and buried it. On
the previous trial the jury failed to agree, they
being about equally divided between a verdict of
guilty and one Ofacquittal The counsel for the
defendant filed plea to the effect that the &C.
cused had once been called on to plead, and that
the Jury trying the issue had been discharged on
account of disagreeing, and without the consent
Of the defendant, and no great necessity had re-
quired the discharge to be made. He further
pleaded that the Constitution provided that no
person should twice be put in jeopardy OF Life ana
limb for the same offense, and that she had once
been placed in such jeopardy by the former trial,
and asked now to be discharged. A replication
was filed by the Government and issues Joined.
1t decided to try it before jury, but without
reaching that point the court adjourned.
