George Mitchell went on a frolic in
Antioch, CAL, on the evening before the
day appointed for his wedding, and in
the morning his convivial companion
was found murdered. Suspicion rested
on Mitchell, and he was placed on trial.
The girl to whom he was to have been
married sat at his side in the court room,
and her sympathy and grief were so at
tractively exhibited that the Judge, in
his charge, warned the jurors not to per-
NIT themselves to be influenced by her.
They acquitted Mitchell, however, and

meagre reports whether the verdict was
caused by the evidence or by the girl.
The pair were married Immediately in
the court room.
