TRIALOF MRS.GEORGE
CHARGED WITH SHOOTING MRS.
M'KINLEY'S BROTHER.
Celebrated Canton, Ohio, Case-Prison-
er Has Remained Remarkably Cool
While Passing Under the Shadow of
Death-Scenes and Incidents.

The trisl of Mrs. Anna E. George at
Canton, Ohio, fer the murder of Geo. ID.
! SaxtOn has aroused unusual and wide
spread interest. Had the man whom she
is said to have shot been any other than
the brother-in-law of the President of the
United States it is not likely that her fu-
| ture would be the subject of speculation
in thousands of homes throughout the
country and the newspapers outside of the
locality would not consider it worth while
TO send representatives there TO report
every move she makes and every detail
of her trial. It's the prominence of the
murdered man that attracts attention to
her. The prosecution occupied nearly two
weeks in presenting their side of the case.
The defense opened Tuesday morning.
In the court room Mrs. George has con-
stantly at her side her oldest boy, New
ton; her sister, Mrs. Brown of Hanover
ton. and a number of friends from her old
home. Her former husband, Sample C..
George, was present at one session Of
court and shook hands with her. From
these friends and from people in Canton
Mrs. George daily receives bouquets Of
flowers, which stand on the table in front
of her and brighten the court room.
As the trial proceeds she is responsive
to every act of the attorneys and wit
nesses. All is not grim solemnity in the
court room. Occasionally there are ex
changes of wit by the lawyers and then

While the vessel was at Corinto an open
