CLOSE OF THE ROCkLAND MUIR
DER TRIAL.
The Arguments of the Counsel on Both
sides.
A VERDICT OF MURDER IN THE FIRST
DEGREE.
The Prisoners Counsel will File Excep-
tons.

ROCKLAND, December 20. In the Thorndike-
sullivan murder case this forenoon, ID. n. Mort
land, Esq, made The closing argument for the de
icuce. HIS theory that the affair was quar-
rel between two women, both under the influence
of liquor; that death not satisfactorily proved
to have resulted from blow Oh the temple, but
probably from other cause. That no bottle or i'm
pleme Mt was seen in the prisoners hand at the
time of striking, nor had been found since. That
wound on the temple was net produced by a blow
from The prisoner, but from striking the sharp
edge Of the doorstep when she fell back, after
getting up and speaking to her daughter, and that
in any case the utmost of any construction Of the
governments evd nee would be a verdict OF man
slaughter.
County Attorney Staples made the clo,i' K argu-
ment for the State lie claimed that the evidence
showed crime threatened, contemplated and ex-
euted by The prisoner, out of her revengefuiness
and malice. Mr.. Cnaples saw prisoner strike the
fatal blow and saw deceased fall. Miss Reardon
saw prisoner upon the body OF the deceased, with
hands at throat. Annie sullivan and Gross heard
the deceased declare that the prisoner had killed
her. She fell from the prisoners fatal blow. The
confused wound aud fracture OF skull were exam
ined and testified to the cause of her death. 1t
was absurd to contend that the fatal wound was
received IN any other way. The facts were clear
and nothing dsproved them. The State had
proved every allegation made in the opening, and
justice demanded that the verd let should be rem
dored accordingly.
Judge Walton charged the jury in an able and
impartial amer, occupying just an hour aud the
jury retired -four o'clock and at halt past seven
returned with verdict of murder in the first de-
gree.
The prisoner received the verdict with forced
calmne=s, but afterwards wept.
The counsel for the defence will file exceptions.
