Judge Wilson asked counsel for tho
prisoner if she had anything to say why
sentenced should not bo pronounced
against her, to which there was negative
reply.
Judge Wilson then addressed the prisoner,
saying: GILLIAN Duer, you havc been tried
by jury of true and honest men for one of
the most heinous offences known to tho law,
and they have found you guilty of man
slaughter. In Wow of the fact that there is
no stain upon your previous 'ifo the Jury
has recommended you to tho mercy of tho
court, and tho court is glad of it. Tho
law permits imprisonment in tho pcnitonti-
ary or the common Jail or tho maximum
fine Of $500. Tho court will not sentence
you to imprisonment, but as the offence
was of so grave character the court will
impose the highest fine which the law pro-
vides. The Court therefore sentences you
to pay fine Of $500 and to stand commit
ted until the fine is paid"
Miss Duer sat like statue while Judge
Wilson addressed her, and the only emotion
visible was rapid contraction and rclaxa-
tion of the musces of her face. After sen.
tcnco tho Sheriff took charge of tho priso-
nor, but she was not taken to prison. II er
friends at once paid tho fine, and sho was
discharged.
When VIC consider the nature of the pas.
sion which led to the commission of this
crime, tho manner of it's accom- pishmcnt,
tho defence, the verdict, and tho sentence,
We arc compelled to regard it as tho
strangest cnapter in the annals of our
criminal courts.-Neao York OJservcr.
