street when masked man approached her
from from the street and greeted her with
the remark "Now will have revenge He

Judge GrofTs court. While CountyiAttorney
Mahoney was reading theinformation charg-
ing her with the murder of King, she kept her
eyes on the floor, with her head resting on her
hand. When he had finished Judge Croft
asked her to stand. Her face grew trihe
paler, and her chin tremb)ed slightly as she
arose. She quickly regained self.control
the eye while he said; ''To this information
do you plead guilty or not guilty?" The in
formation had spoken of her as Elizabeth
Beecher, and before her attorney could stop
her, she said in a firm clear voice, "Not
Guilty" "Before thatp plea is entered" said
Gen. Corwin, we wish to file plea of a mis-
nomer, stating that the name Of the accused

Beecher." After the arraignment the pris-

William Davis, O patient at the insane
asylum at Pontiac, Mich, was killed by P
F. Taylor, an attendant. The coroner 8
jury rendered a verdict that the killing was
done in self defense. The circumstances are
these: As.Taylor passed Davis in the hall
with another imbecile, Davis, who was out OF
humor about something, struck. Taylor in
the neck. Taylor left the other man, and
grabbed Davis about. the waist. They strug-
gIed{for five minutes, first one then the other
getting the best. When about three feet from a
bench Taylor gave Davis q violent wrench,
throwing him across the arm Of the bench.
His body was twisted over it and held there
until assistance arrived. An examination of
the body revealed the fact that Davis must
have been handled in q terrible manner The
breast bone was broken in two, and every
rib on one side was broken except two, and
three were broken twice. The ragged edge
of the ribs sawed off the veins and artries SO
that the internal cavities were filed with
blood After the fight the patient was taken
out for q walk and dragged aroupd the
grounds until he said he could go no further.
He was then taken back, put to bed and
died in o few minutes.
