A QUEER VERDICT.

into the killing of Pat. Kingsley, the head
waiter of the Briggs house, who was shot
by Sadie Reign. Meri Relling, the
French pantry girl, testified that she had
known Kingsley about five months and
had known Sadie Reign about year and
half. The 6e,eased had told her about
two weeks ago that he had heard that
morning through boy who came to him
and told him that Sadie had gone out
the night before with the second waiter,
who had kept her till after II o'clock and
that he thought she was without virtue.
Nellie Woods came in that day to tell her
what the head waiter had said about
Sadie, and then Nellie went and told tie
REICH girl. That was all she kneW about
the matter until the tragedy occurred on
Friday evening. She did not see the shoot
ing, but heard the shots fred.
Samuel K. Andrews, the engineer at the
Briggs, who met the girl coming down the
hotel stairs after she had done the shoot
ing, and to whom she gave the revolver,
was also put On the stand, bat he threw no
new light on the case. The jury, after
short deliberation, rendered the following
verdict: ''That Pat Kingsley come to his
death from the effects of a pistol shot
through the brain, causing hemcrrhage,
paralysis and death, said shot having been
fred from pistol in the hands of Sadie
Reign, and We, the jury, recommend that
the said Sadie Reign be held to the grand
jury under the highest bail that the law
allows" The fact that the jury recon-
mended that the girl be admitted
to bail at all. caused some
establishment among those who
contend that she did not have sufficient
provocation to take KingsIey's life. There
Is great sympathy for her among a large
number, and it is thought size will receive
sufficient monetary assistance to insure the
employment Of good counsel to defend her
when che IS fought TO trial.
