tenCe, and on his return to the jail wept Bit
terly for hours.
Isabelle A. Marsh and william @. Buzzell
were convicted last March OF the murder OF
George A Marsh OF Mortified in January
1896 This action of the supreme court
closes this celebrated case unless the legis-
lature of 1898 interferes.
The indictment against Mildred Brewster
for the murder of Anna Wheeler at Mont
pelier on May 20, last in which plea in
abatement had been entered claiming that
the indictment by the grand jury was illegal
because Of the presence OF stenographer
in the grand jury room, was declared valid
Because of this ruling the special grand jury
that had been drawn to consider her case II
it had been decided differently will not be
summoned and Miss Brewster will be tried
at the present term OF Washington County
court. Miss Brewster was in court when
the decision in her case was rendered, and
appeared entirely Indifferent to the pro-
ceedings. When Judge Ross was reading
the opinion she was intently watching the
pencils of the reporters who sat near her,
evidently more interested in their work
than in opinion of the court. She has near
ly recovered from the surgical operation
performed several weeks ago for the re.
moval of the bullet from her head, and her
physical condition Is such that there is no
question in regard to her being able to
stand the strain OF long trial. She Is
anxious to have the trial begin and is urg
preparation.
