Tho Evidence Was Strong That She
Acted in Self Defense.
Mrs. Mary Cotter, who killed her hus-
band, Policeman Jerem iah J. Cotter, on
November 9, 1891, was tried before Judge
Trout yesterday and acqui tied.
Mrs. Cotter was defended By j. n. E.
Wilson and Eugene Bert and the plea was
self-defense. Her simple story was that
her husband quarreled with her about the
Police Commissioners, who, he said, were
going to GUST him for misbehayior. He
wanted her to intercede for him, as she had
done on many previous occasions, but she
refused because she knew he so little de-
served their consideration. He got very
angry and reached for his pistol, which was
lying on the bureau. His favorite manner
or expressing his anger, it was said, was TO
beat his wife over the head with the
weapon. and II very angry 10 shoot her.
In the fear and excitement of the moment
Mrs. Cotter also made rush for the
weapon, and got there first. The next
instant she shot him, killing him. It was
all done in an instant, and her sole impulse
was self-protection. She felt that IL he got
the pistol first he would shoot her. as he
had done on former occasion, and the
evidence Of which she will carry to her
grave.
Mrs. Cotter appeared in court very neatly
dressed, but wearing an expression of
trouble and grief
The jury deliberated about three hours
before returning to the courtroom.

Halls GREAT VICTORY.
How a Lake County Farmer s'opped
mailCoach.


John w. C. Hall. a farmt. of Lake
County. was on trial in the United States
District Court yeste rday before Judge Nor
row and jury, charged with obstructing
and retarding the mail of the United States.
Late in the afternoon the jury returned a
verdict Of not guilty, and the rancher was
sent to his home rejoicing. for his aequittal
besides establishing his innocence also
means that he has gained 4 victory over
those who for years have been his enemies
and prosecutors.
The facts in the case are that Hail owns
a ranch between Bartlett Springs and
Lakeport, which is inter5ected by toll
stsge-road, constructed and operat ted by the
owners of Bartlett Springs.
The road has been a bone of contention
for long time. Hail having time and time
again vigorously protested against other PEG.
pie running stage road on land belonging
to him.
SO bitter had the contest over that road
been for years that all the people for miles
around have somehow become either in
volyed or at least deeply interested in the
case.
The matter has several times been before
the courts, but at no time could any decision
be had which would suit both parties and
the war continued until September "a last,
when Hail adopted new and quite effective
method, By which he hoped to stop the Bart
lett Springs people from driving across his
acres.
His method was to select the largest pine
tree he could find, cut 1t down and roll il
across the road. Then he built fence
around ana on top of that tree and laid
down ID the grass to await the next stage.
Hail had the satisfaction of seeing that
his barrier blocked the road so completely
that it was impossible for the stage to pro-
route, which did not run through his land.
The shrewd rancher then rubbed his
hands and laughed.
the following day be was visited by United
States Deputy Marshal and placed under
arrest for interfering with the rapid transit
OF Uncle Sans mail. there having been
mailbag containing two letters, postal
card aud four newspapers on the stage he
so successfully delayed.
All these facts were brought before the
jury yesterday, and Assistant District At
torney Shurtlef in an elaborate argument
painted the rural prisoner IN colors so dark,
and so msgnified the offeuse that he was
charged with, that'the latter became thor
oughly scared and almost repented of ever
having cut down the tree and stopped the
stage.
1t was therefore an immense relief to Hail
when his attorney convinced the jury that
he had right TO protect his own land, con-
Sequently a verdict in accordance with his
views were rendered by the jury. AS Hail
walked out of the courtroom he vowed that
he would build brick wall 20 feet high
across that road as soon as he reached his
country home.

Have They Right to Tow in American

Two cases in which English tug boats
have been fined for towing vessels in Amer

the Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday.
The British steam-tug Pilot was seized on
May 8, 1891, on Puget Sound by the Collec-

was engaged in towing the ship Valley
Forge TO Port Angeles, which is AZ Ameri-
can port.
A fine of S6I3 was impos ed. and this the
owners OF the tug refused to pay. The case
was tried by United States District Judge
{. II. Hanf0rd, who gave Judgment against
the Pilot, and it is from that Judgment that
an appeal is now pending.
