secretary, Miss NJ. l.. Titcomb of the Rut-

Mrs Baker, the Montgomery Murderer,

The trial of Mrs. Lottie Baker of Mont

tody of the court she must be discharged
or convicted, either of which would be
manifesty wrong. The only way out of
the difficulty appears to be to have an
amendment to the existing law passed be-
fore she can be transferred from the custo-
DIV of the court to an asylum.

or she left her husband began searching for
