AWAITS THE JURY'S VERDICT
SAYS 1T WILL MEAN LIFE OR
DEATH TO Her.
Declares She Shall Never Go to the
Penitentiary if Convicted Of
the Murder of George D.
Saxton.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April pa Canton,
o., special to the Herald says:
Should the jury render verdict
against me 1 will never go to the pen
itentiary. I will accept suicide as
last means of escaping the persecution
that has been mine for ten years.
Such is the declaration said to have
been made by Mrs. Annie E. George,
whose trial for the murder Of George
D. Saxton is now drawing to a close.
My informant is Mrs. Streeter who
has supported Mrs. George during the
last three weeks as if she were her sis
ter, and it was to Mrs. Streeter the
declaration was made.
Mrs. George is determined
woman" Mrs. Streeter said to me,
"and believe she would prefer death
to conviction and term of years in
the penitentiary to follow it. At times
is greatly depressed. She feels that
Judge Taylor has been fair in all his
rulings, and should the jury convict
her she would have little hope of relief
from an appeal. She has told me sew
eraI times she would kill herself if
convicted, and I believe she would. I
would not blame her"
Sheriff Zaiser does not believe Mrs.
George will make good her promise of
self-destruction in the event of defeat
in court, but he told me to-day he
would take no chances, and If the
woman were convicted she would be
placed under close surveillance while
she was in his charge.
