Mrs Bartlett Acquitted-The Facts that In
fiuenced the Jury.
LONDON. April 1.-THE Bartlets poisoning
case was given to the jury to day. In closing
the case for the crown, Attorney general Rus
sell contended that, from all the evidence that
had been adduced, it was clearly impossible for
Mr. Bartlett to have committed suicide, as al
legged by the defense. and that there could be no
doubt that he was killed by the prisoner,
Mrs. Adelaide BARTLETT, who had been
maintaining illicit relations with the Rev.
Mr. Dyson, and who was inspired to remove her
husband because he was regainlng his health
Mr. Russell dwelt upon the singular state of at
fairs which had existed in the family. and
showed how distastsful the deceased had become
to the prisoner by contrast with Mr.. Dyson.
The judge in summing up, told the jury that
Mr.. Dyson had taken advantage of the husbands
maudlin nonsense to Supplant him in the affec-
tons of the wife. and advised that no part of the
clergyman's testimony, although he had been q
witness for the crown, be accepted as reliable.
The jury were out but a short time, and rem
dered a verdict of acquittal
The verdict was applauded by the spectators.
The defense presented two arguments which
seem to have operated upon the jury with ire
sistible strength in favor of Mrs. Bartlett The
first was based on the undisputed fact that Mrs.
Bartletu retained the chloroform bottle for a
long time after her husbands death. 1t was ar
gued that this could rot have been so if Mrs
Bartlett had administered the fatal draught, and
it was commended that the prisoner, if she had
killed her husband, wenld have taken every
pains to remove the evidence of her
crime. Besides this it was shown that Mrs
Bartlett very anxious have post
norton made on the remains in order TO ascer-
tain exactly the cause of death. and that she
authorized the expenditure of any amount of
money TO secure the best medical talent to make
the autopsy for the purpose of putting the case
beyond doubt From this was inferred that her
motive was to establish her innocence above all
cavil When the facts were impressed on the
jury they gave the benefit of any doubt to the
prisoner, as instructed by the court to do.

Sick Great Men.

Although ex-President Chester A Arthur was
never Wall-street man in the proper sense of
the word, he has enjoyed great popularity among
Wall-street men ever since the days of his Col
lectorship of the Port OF New York, and the pres
emit condition of his health is causing great
anxiety to hosts of his old Wall street friends.
The reticence in regard to the nature and prog
ress of his illness makes things only worse, for
people argue that il there had been nothing to
conceal the truth would have been plainly told.
The facts that his daughter Nellie has been
called home from school, that his son Allan re-
mains day and night in his fathers apartments,
and that no one can get any information from
the attending physician, DR.. George Peters,
in regard TO Lis patients condition, are by no
means encouraging indications of the probability
of Mr.. Arthur'5 recovery.
1t is curious to observe how prevalent is the de-
sire to conceal the actual condition Of prominent
people when they are sick. The tendency is not
peculiar to America. It seems to be universal
and it has everywhere the Same result, namely,
that when the patient Is dead the doctors are
abused, thu relatives and friends Of the deceased

are pronounced to be either fools or knaves, and
the settlement of the post-mortem affairs OF the
dead person very much embarrassed. In the case
OF William Fl. Vanderbilt, for instance, IL was
known for nearly three years that brain disease
was making alarming progress with him, but
none or the members of his family or his business
associates would acknowledge the fact to each
other, and everybody surrounding him was work
ing as hard as possible to keep the facts out of
the newspapers. Yet 1t was known that Van
derbilt was sometimes sitting for hours at his
library table, with his mouth open and watering
his jaw hanging on one side and his eyes staring
into vacancy, without anybody or ANYTHING
being able TO rouse him from his semi-paralytic
condition, unless it were Chauhcey M. Depew
coming with some extraordinary statement in
regard to the family's railroad interests or some
trotting-horse chum calling in to say that some
body has somewhere horse which is likely to
beat Maud S. g time. OF course, in this case the
condition of Vanderbilts sudden death did
not have any important result, for his will was
made, all business matters were provided for, aud
neither the family interest nor the interests OF
the corporations he had control of nave suffered.
But suppose the will had not been made, what
would have been the result of the death of this
man, both for his family and for the corporations
he was interested int AS said above. this ten
dency of concealing the actual condition of prom
lnent people who happen to be sick is universal.

naught became very sick but Queen Victoria

her friends and persons dependent on her would
be over. RIG0Lo.
