police court, his clerk and others state that
her appearance was wild in the extreme.
She was moaning and begged them not to
any one hurt her. No one VINO saw her
at that time testified that she appeared like
sane person. She handed the revolver
to the police office with the explanation, 1
those present to let no one harm

lent agit ,on, her face convulsed,
but she sued no tears. The pupils OF her
eyes were dilated, her looks were such as
