A MIND OF HER OWN.
Nine. Lassauguc Gives Her Yer.
sion of Affairs.

The case against Nine. Lassaugue
again began 10 grind away yesterday
morning. One of the old dodgers Of the
accused. j. T. Williamson. testified as
to wordy disagreements he had had.
with his landlady. Mrs. Austin was.
again placed on the stand, and identified
some of the pillows and bedling Nine.
LasSaugue is charged TO have removed.
Her testimony was that in reference to
the kind of stitches used. which Mrs.
Austin claimed was peculiar to herself.
Nine. LaSSaugue then took the stand III
her own behalf.
1t was about 4:40 p. IN. yesterday
when MIR. Noyes. the attorney for the
defendant. finished his closing address,
after which Judge Canty instructed the
jury as to the law and its bearing upon
the verdict.
The closing address of the defendants
counsel was clear. forcibie and con-
vinclng argument. 1t WIS a mastery
exposition of his clients cause, and
presented the same in anything but an
unfavorable light.
Judge Canty's instructions were eX-
ceedingly plain and clear. and dull OF
comprehension indeed must he have
been who could have misunderstood the
charge.
1t was o'clock when the jury re-
tired. At first it was thought that
verdict would be forthcoming in pos
sibly a few minutes, but such proved TO
be not the case. When the time wore
OH up TO o'clock. and even after that
hour, and no verdict came, it was evil
dent that an agreement was not an easy
matter.
Judge Canty appeared at o'clock eX-
pectIng 10 receive a verdict. Finding
none, he took his departure, saying lie
would again return at 10 o'clock.
VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Judge Canty appeared at the court
house at 10 O'Clock last night, when the
jury returned verdict, finding the ac
cused guilty of petit larceny, and fixing
the value of the goods taken at Sl9. 81.
Madame Lassaugue will be arraigued at
10 O'Clock this morning. when 1t is
probable that stay of sentence will be
asked pending a motion for a new trial.
On hearing the verdict the madame
seemed 10 lose her nerve, and for the
nOnce she wilted and shed tears. She
was accompanied by a hevy OF young
lady friends, who offered her such tell
der consolatian as was in their power.
She was released OH the old bail bond
until this morning.

May Recover.

The physicians in attendance on
Louis Schlink, the victim of Thomas
Lawler's bullet, reported their patient
as gaining last night, and there is, ap-
parently, good hopes Tor his ultimate
recovery.
An unexpected incident occurred at
the time Lawler was removed from the
central lookup TO the county Jail.
Sheriff Eye opposed allowing him to be
incarcerated III the county bastile with
out the formality of legal commit
ment. But as the matter had been so
ordained by County Attorney Nye,
Sheriff Eye yielded this point, in the
present instance. He does not hesitate,
however, TO declare himself opposed to
such irregular proceedings. Seemingly
his objection is sound one, for he feels
that he renders himself liable in case of
receiving prisoners without commit
ments TO actions for false imprison-
m6ut,
