The Court is clearly of the opinion that the
proof is evident that the defendant aided ana
abetted IN tho commission OF the crime Win
which she and her co-defendant are charged
a crime the most shocking and malignant
ever perpetrated by woman.
1T appears from the proof taken IN this
proceeding that the defendant Johnson, has
been IN pfecariOus health since mere chiid'
that she suffers continuously with headache
and often with nervous prostration, and the
confinement IN the atmosphere OF the prison
would no doubt greatly asgravste her malady
and thereby endanger her life.
For this reason and this reason alone the
court will admit the defendant 70 bail. ."
