Scene in the Court.

Hastings, Nc1., April H.-Viol2
Horlocker, who for nearly two weeks
has been on trial in the District court,
charged with administering poisonous
candy to the wife of her employer, was
declared not guilty Friday morning,
the jury having been out less than an
hour. Judge Adams, in his instruc-
tons to the jury. charged them. If
they found that the defendant had
committed the act as charged in the
information, and found, also, that she
was not sane beyond a reasonable
doubt, then she was not responsible,
and their verdict should be one of ac-
'quittaI. The jury found accordingly.
During all these final proceedings
Miss Horlocker had sat like statue
with her eyes glued to the floor. There
was no expression in her face, and she
seemed like one in a dream. When
the verdict had been read. however,
she threw up her hands and uttered a
cry. Mr.. Baty, her old gray-h2ired
counsel, was at her side in an instant.
He threw his arms about her and
Rugged and kissed her fervently. Mr..
Stevens went forward also to extend
his congratulations, but was not so
demOnstratiVe. Her sisters had hur-
ried to the jury box and were shaking
the hands Of the jurymen. Miss HOr-
locker arose and followed them, and as
the jurymCn passed from the box
grasped each by the hand and said:
God bless you; oh, God, | thank you
for this" The verdict, though not I'M
expected, was coldly received by the

The people, Mr.. President, look up

been shocked and the national heart

MRS. MULCARY'S Hut

story Of . Fighting Widow Squat
ter In South Brooklyn, N. Y.-De-
Aes the City Authorities to
Make Her Move.
PRICE BAKING POWDER CO.,
ChtCkGO.

Squatter sovereignty in 14-cent cot
tage! Such is the position of Mrs. Null
cary, a widow of County. Kerry extrac-
ton and a 30-years' resident in South
Brooklyn, now occupying queer abode
in the very middle of the cross streets,
says the New York Herald. There the
''fghtin' wildly" as she is known
throughout the neighborhood, holds
forth in the face of all the officials Of
Brooklyn, who have not the right to
forcibly eject her, under the existing
laws.
The misfortunes of Mrs. Mulcary
would fill volumes. AT first she built
her little home on a part of filled-in
land, part of vast reclaimed tract
acquired by one Robinson. The Robin
son estate became rich on this prop
erty, which few years ago was a waste
of salt marsh, over which the tide oozed
its slippery way twice year.
Then the building battalions adj
vanced, and as the property became val
liable Mrs. Mulcary was asked to vacate.
There was a fight, but the young men of
the -neighborhood held council and
came to the conclusion that the fight
in wildly" had no good cause to pro-
claim IA battle against rich estate, so
they lifted the cottage bodily one fine
night and laid it down a hundred feet
to the rear. Unfortunately, this did
not end the business.
The widow was soon notified that she
was a squatter on the property of one
New York millionaire named Jones, and
that if she intended to claim squatter's
rights-that is, claim the property after
20 years undisturbed possession--she
was much mistaken. After year of
rural peace and comfort in the quaint
little home made of dry goods boxes,
the Jones estate ordered the widow to
vacate, and the Young men who had
