Not Guilty, But Ought to be Hung"

That fascinating wax flower artist and
multipiex bigamist, Charles W. Hull, was
tried at Chester on Tuesday night before
Judge Clayton. He appeared in the dock
attired in ANEW suit of clothes, and sport
ing pair of lavender kids. His Chester
and Norristown wives gave evidence of the
circumstances under which they had been
bound to the much-married man by the
matrimonial tie, and the prospects of his
being sent to the penitentiary for an indet-
mite term were looking bright, when the
question of jurisdiction was raised by his
counsel, who contended that as neither
marriage had taken place in Delaware
county, the ofense was not within the cogn-
izance of the Court. In this view of the
law the Judge ooincided and charged the

Lincoin's son commenced proceedings i'm
the Chicago courts to have his mother: ad-
judged insane, in view of her reckless ex-
penditures, and hsr many acts inconsistent
with sanity, and to have person appointed
to care for her property. The court, after
hearing the evidence, pronounced her in-
sane and appointed trustee to manage
her estate. b About dfty Thousand dollars INF
government bonds were found on her per-
son. AZ .er the decision by the court. she
left her room, at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
and endeavored to procure laudanum at q
neighboriug drug store, but received only
harmless drug, an, was prevented from
committing suicide. The next day she
was conveyed to private asylum in north
ern Illinois, and after few mou>hB was
placed in care of her sister at Springfield,
from which she sought quiet retreat in
France. The loss of her husband bore
heavily upon her, but the blow which
wrecked her mind was the shaft of death
which fell upon her loved boy "Tad."
There is but little hope of her recovery.
