NOT GUILTY.
Mary HIaImstadt Found Not Guilty of In
fanticide

with infanticide, began last Thursday
and was finished Saturday night when
the jury brought in verdict of &C
quittaL
A great many witnesses were called
by the state and defense, and the testi-
mony in the main was the same as at
the coroner's inquest. The defendant
testified that she knew nothing of what
happened during the time that the
child was born.
Expert testimony of Drs. Smith and
Burwell sustained her in this assertion.
They testified that when they saw the
defendant the next day after the child
was discovered, she showed symptoms
of puerperal mania, and it was their
opinion that, if she had made way with
the child, she was in a condition of
mind that would leave her not respon-
sible for her acts. The testimony of
these two physicians was clear and
concise, and was backed up by the
most eminent authorities on that point.
DR.. Rush was called and agreed with
them on all the main points.
The attorneys on both sides made
one of the best fights ever witnessed in
the county, every point was brought
out and when the case was given to the
jury it was admitted by all that moth

pies of Blackstone, either on the de-
tense or prosecution.
The jury was out only short time,
taking only one ballot, which was un-
animous for acquittal

a light docket, was one of the most in
teresting for some time.
Court adjourned Monday until Nov
ember next.

What is Beauty PA Blind Mans Question
Replied Aristotle. But Mrs. Sher-
wood says that it is dynamite" in her
article which opens the interesting
pages of the July Cosmopolitan. Beauty
is always a fascinating subject, and
Mrs. Sherwood's discussion is an es-
pecially interesting one. That the July
is a midsummer number
is shown in many directions. Three
short stories. including one of sport
and adventure. two travel articles, and
other light matter, make up 128 pages
of charming summer reading.
The July Cosmopolitan marks the
close of the first year since the revolu-
tionary announcement was made that
the price of that magazine, already low,
had been cut to one-half of So a year.
All sorts of predictions have come to
be unfulfilled during the year-it would
be impossible to maintain the rate
the vuality would be lowered-the size
would be decreased. But even severe
critics admit that with each succeeding
number there has been betterment in
the quality of articles and Illustrations
and the size has remained unchanged,
except the always growing advertising
pages. The magazine printed, for the
six months embraced Ia volume xvi,
l ,419.O00 copies, an entirely unap-
preached record, and has doubled its
large plant of presses and bind
ing. The walls OF the magazines new
