MRS. HARMoN's ACQUITTAL.

AS stated in the GAZETTE of that day
the trial of Mrs. Mary Harmon at Fair.
fax G. H., for the killing of her hus.
band, John R. Harmon, June 2 last,
ended yesterday in her acquittal. The
last witnesses for the defense, Sanford
Merriman, A. A.. Sweeny, and William
Watt, all gave testimony relating to
the dangerous character of Harmon.
The prosecution weakened on the testi-
mony in rebuttal. Their witnesses
either knew nothing of the character OF
the deceased, or regarded him as a mar
possessing a violent temper.
The Commonwealth attorney en-.
deavored to prove that the husband
had ON frequent occasions after the sep
aration sent his wife money for her
support, but such evidence was over
ruled by Judge Chichester. On mo-
ton of the prosecution, the testimony
of Mr.. Ephraim Mephi Boston Beach
given the day before, relative to a con-
~versation of his wife with Harmon, in
which the latter said that he Or his
wife must die, was stricken out. Re.
cess was taken at IL o'clock, during
which time the attorneys prepared
their instructions to the jury.
After the arguments there vas q
lively tilt between the opposing coun.
sci in reference to the instructions about
the rights of husband and wife after
separation, where no divorce existed.
| At 8 o'clock the jury was summoned,
and the instructions, as amended, read.
The jury retired, but were out only a
few minutes. The prisoner, who dur.
ing the afternoon had broken down
under the severe strain, was brought
into court to hear her fate. The yer.
dict not guilty had been anticipated,
and the spectators, when they heard
it, burst into prolonged cheering, Which
the judge could not stop for some
minutes. The Commemorative attor.
ney stated that he was glad of the
verdict, and his duty as attorney for
the Commonwealth had been a painful
one, as he did not want the accused to
be sent to prison.
The prisoner, though expecting al
acquittal, could not at first realize that
she was free. She was willing to talk,
and stated that she could not longe,
live in the house where the shooting
had occurred, but expected to take uI
her residence in a house near the Chain
Bridge. She could not find words to
express her gratitude to her lawyers
who so ably defended her, and to the
sheriff and the county officials for their
| courteous treatment.

COMMUNICATED.

About a year ago the City Council
appropriated $1,000 to build a fire en-
CINE house at the northwest corner Il
Queen and Columbus streets for the Hy-
draulion fire engine company. At that
time some dispute arose between the
City Council and county authorities in
regard to the right of the city to take
possession of said property Com
mittees were appointed, one from the
county and one from the city, and there
the matter rests. The time set for SELL
ing said property was July 1895, which
time has come and passed and nothing
done in the matter yet. There is no
better place in the city for a fire engine
than on the northwest corner of Queen
and Columbus streets. IT is time the
tax payers in that locality were getting
some protection from fire. Let us hear
fromthe city and county committees and
give US an engine house at the north
west corner of Queen and Columbus
on the court house lot. I think the
city has the same right to build an en-.
CINE house on the corne of Queen and
Columbus as the county has to build 9
stable or sheds on the corner o.
Princess and Columbus.
