would do far better there than in the

doubt not would prove successful and

THE sAxroN MURDER CASE.

The testimony In the trial Of M-s.
George ON the charge 81 numbering
George D. snxton. the brothcr-ln-iaw OF
President Mckinley. brings to light
some OF the terrible corruption hidden
under the surface Of modern society.
In the course OF the examination and
orpss-cxamination II was made 10 APP
pear that saxton and Mrs. George, both
married. had entered upon Illicit rola-
tons. agreeing TO get divorces and then
10 marry. The immoral contract was
not kept. II seems, BY saxton. and his
partner In sin vowed dire vengeance.
Evidence was offered that Mrs.
George had bought as-calibre revolver.
and that she had actually consulted her
lawyer as to the best plan Of killing
the object Of her wreth. She had asked
her legal adviser. for Instance. whether
II would not be well 10 have two re-
volycra and Kill the victim with one
and then throw the other at his feet.
10 make Il appear the act was one OF
felf.dcfcnHc. The question was also
considered whether II would not be well
To shoot him In the back. and then throw
the pistol away. She had also asked
what the punishment for murder would
be-. and expressed her Willingness to
perform the deed. n ten years In the
pcnltcntiary was the only conHo-
auencc.
Is II possible to imagine a depth Of
depravity beyond thisf Every fca-
turc of II IL revolving beyond express
