She did not appear to be insane, for she
answered all questions deliberately anC
with some degree of caution. She de

cot, which was located only short dis

word, shot him. The ball penetrated
beneath and to the right shoulder-blade
taking an upward course, Rosa said
that the pain was not great, and he hoped
the woud-be murderess was satisfied.
After probing for four minutes, the
physicians decided not to search further
