supreme courts of the state to the court
of heaven. if they had not been afraid
they would have been sent by some

States Prison for the period of your
| natural life was the sentence passed up
| on Mrs. Harriet Remley on Wednesday
| last in the circuit courts setting in
Dodgeville. The people will remember
| the circumstances of the terrible and
unnatural murder of Conrad Remley,
which took place in this county on Jan
| 9th last, and how Charles Remley, a
son, and Harriet Remley, the wife, of
the murdered man were arrested for the
| awful crime and confined in prison here
in Dodgeville. Charles Remlt was
tried last spring and found guilty. in
the first degree. of the murder of his
father, was sentenced to states prison
for his natural life, and is now serving
his time there. His mother follows him
| now to share a similar fate, she also
being convicted of murder in the first
degree. The evidence upon which the
son was convicted was substantially the
same as that upon which the mother
was found guilty by the jury. 1t will
be remembered that the murdered man
was found in his bed with his head
crushed in. and his son, Charles, at the
time stating that he killed him in de-

at first that he struck his father but
twice. There were, however, more than
twelve distinct blows given at the time
by the murderer Charles testified at
his mothers trial that she did not strike
at all, and that he did it ALL The evil
dence against Mrs. Remley was largely
circumstantial. The jury quickly found
her guilty, not being out an hour before

distressed, if any, at the terrible crime.
and the fate of two of their number.
There seems to be a want of sensibiity
and ordinary affection existing between
| members OF this family. The testimony
seemed to prove that excessive use of in
toxicating liquors contributed largely to
the causes which produced this crime.
The husband repeatedly got drunk.
There is devil in whisky that burns
out the soul and turns the heart to stone.
How much it has had in causing the un-
sympathetic natures which this family
manifest is hard to tell Mrs. Remley
and her family have had the assistance
and kindly Sympathy of Mr. f. w. Will
son. who certainly did very much in
their defense.
Charles Reniley, who is serving life
sentence in Waupun states prison, was,
