trat figure in a sensational trial in Web,
ster superior court at Preston last week
Mrs. lucia Adams, prepossessing
young married woman, was charged by
| the state with the serious charge of
assault with intent 20 murder, but ir did
not take the twelve jurymen long to Hb-
rate her after her fate was placed in
