MlNGle MURDERED HIS Base.
And VIII Supply the First Hanging 4,
Thirty Years at Springfield.

Springfield, Ills. Dec. g.. James
Mingle, CHARGED with the murder of his
baby. Dolly Mingle, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree and his
punishment fixed at death. in the cir
cult court here Saturday night On
the morning of July q, 1897, Mingle
slipped into the dwelling occupied by
his former mistress. Mary Briscoe. and
while they We're fast asleep made a
murderous assault on her and her child
with Ratchet. The child died, but the
mother recovered.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial. Minsle did not testify in his
own behalf, but the theory of
the defense was that one Eli
sha Tom6HsOn, an old soldier
living in the rear of Mary Briscoe's
house, committed the deed. If the jury's
verdict is sustained Mingle's hanging
will be the first in Springfield for thirty
years. Jealousy was the cause of Mingle's
crime.
