MRS. SHANN INDICTED.
a Speedy Trial for Her on the
Charge of Poisoning Her
Son.
special to The Jerseg citv News.

Special TO Inc JERSEY CtCV Netcss
TRENTON, May 10. 1s93.-The Mercer
County Grand Jury has found an indict-
ment for murder against Mrs. Sham.
now In the County Jail, accused of pois-
oning her son, to obtain his insurance
money. 1t has taken two days to hear all
the witnesses that the State secured. There
were thirty witnesses, among them all who
testified before the Coroner's Inquest .
fifteen others. 1t is understood that the
Grand Jury will not wait until they con-
clude all their business before coming
into Court with this particular present.
ment. aud 1t Is thought that they will
present the Indictment to Justice Albeit
tomorrow morning. and Mrs. q Will
at once be brought Into coutt to plead TO
the Indictment,
Prosecutor Stockton will move for her
trial and declares that he is ready to pro-
coed with the case at once and Will make
q uesp erate effort to have the trial take
place this term of court. He says that
the State will not invite a lengthy battle
of experts.
On the other hand. the attorneys for
the defendants are DESTROYS of
having the case go over until next
fall because they claim that they
cannot get ready this term. 1t is
thought that the real reason for seeking
a postponement is that they fear that the
case has been prejudiced by the sensa-
tIonal developments in the poisoning
cases OF DR.. Buchanan and Carlyle w.
Harris.
Mrs. Sham is beginning to show her
close confinement in the Mercer County
Jail. She eats less now than during the
first days Of her imprisonment, and is
restless at nights. She is as silent as q
sphinx in reference to the case. Her
relatives visit her every day.
