on trial for the shooting Of her lover A
few weeks ago another jury acquitted
another woman accused of a similar
crime. In the latter case no question was

ouittaI was purely matter of sentiment
and many people thought. under the cir
cumstances of young girls ruin and de-
sertion, that the case had ended properly.
Over yesterdays result there was much
surprise. Even the counsel for the ac-
cused had expected verdict OF man
slaughter.
But without commenting on the com
