Young Wife by Poisoning.

NEW YORK, Feb 3--Carlyle W. Harris.
the Young student. charged with having
poisoned his wife. Helen Potts, was last
night found guilty of murder in the first
degree by the jury
The case has been one Of the most sena
tional Of its kind in recent years and has
attracted widespread interest. On Feb l.
1891, Helen Potts, daughter OF n wealthy
retired railroad contractor of Asbury
Park. who was I'm attendance at fashion
able boarding school in this city died after
q brief illness. The death, ut first, wa,
supposed to be due TO natural causes and
preparations proceeded for the funeral
Then, In some manner. the name Of Car
lyle Harris, also OF Asbury Park. who was
studying medicine in this city. became
linked with that Of the dead girl. The
whispers grew as time progressed, until
finally the authorities in this city took
cognizance Of the matter and an autopsy
was held on the body of the young lady
which resulted in the discovery that
death was
Due TO Morphine Poisoning.
Harris was arrested and indicted, and
then the fact leaked out that he and Miss
Potts had been clandestinely married.
Facts were developed which showed the
young mans character up in an unfavor.
able light, and the authorities became
convinced that he had murdered the young
woman. He admitted having prescribed
some morphine pills for his wife for some
affection which he claimed she was
afflicted with. but stated that the doses
were not sufficiently large to do her harm.
About two weeks ago the case came to
trial and has been progressing ever since.
Yesterday the summing up occupied most
OF the day and early last evening Recorder
Smith charged the jury. They went out
about 9:30, and mt l0:+5 returned verdict
or Murder in tho First Degree.
The verdict was very unexpected to the
accused, and he broke down completely
when IL was announced. His mother, who
has been constantly at his side during the
trial. was very much affected and created
q scene. She fell back In her chair shrek
ing madly: IT'S lie-a lie" II was
several minutes before she again became
composed Harris, who WAS quite calm,
comforted his mother and told her the YER
diet would not stand. The recorder ex-
pressed approval OF the verdict.
Lawyer Jerome gave notice that he would
move for new trial, and court adjourned
until Friday.
Harris was handcuffed and taken to the
tombs. He walked away with the officer
jnuntily. smoking . cigar

Next came the news that he had oap-
tured Camargo; then that the Mexican
regulars had defeated him ut Camargo:
that he had crossed into Texas and rc-
organized; that the American regulars bad
attacked and whipped him, and then that
