GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
A Plea In tie Monie Harris Cnse 40
cepted-

Mollie Harris. colored. who is on trial To-
the murder OF Alice Queenan. also colored,
on October last, today testified in her own
defence.
Her story Of the fatal ARRAY was brief
and to the point in all its details. She
stated that she lived. both at Kate Jack
sons house in Cullinane's Alley and at her
uncle's, about mile away, across the
James Greek Canal. Prior to the night on
which Alice Queenan was killed the witness
said she had trouble with her and that the
deceased had threatened to kill the witness
She then told the circumstances Of the
trouble which Immediately preceded the
killing. Her story was substantially the
same as that told by the witnesses by the
Government. except that she claimed that
there was a long and hot fight in which the
deceased and her friends assaulted the wit
ness.
Continuing. the witness admitted having
struck the fatal blow. but contended that
it was done in obedience. She was not
aware Of the fact that Alice Queenan was
dead when she left the alley 10 90 10 her
uncle's house in southeast Washington.
-NiLtl she cut ALICE Nlueeudu. tut hlLuts5
stated that she handed the knife TO her
friend. Della Dyson. who placed it in the
lining OF her cape where il was found by
the police when she was arrested.
Cross examination by the pros cutting at
torney failed to develop anything new in
the witnesses testimony. The evidence Of
the accused closed the case 50 far as the
introduction of testimony was concerned
Counsel for the defence submitted 10 the
court seventeen requests for instruction to
the jury and the Government offered seven
similar requests
After argument over the charge 10 the
jury. the prisoners counsel. on behalf O:
the accused withdrew the plea Of rot
guilty OF murder. and entered a plea OF
guilty Of mansiaughter. The plea was &C
cepted by the court and under instruc-
lions the Jury returned a verdict against
the defendant 10 accordance She was re-
manded 10 Jail for sentence

be in sympathy with the burghers.
All over England there is evidence Of
public joy. In every theatre and public
meeting, around the railway stations
and the streets there is expressions of
gladness and jubilation over the news.
The newspapers are editorially rejoic-
ing. Those who read the news closely
see only one disturbing factor in tho
Cape situation and that is the pressure
Of the Beers towards Lord Roberts line
of supply through De Aar, which wat
never more important than now. The
Beers under Commandments Delacey and

penetrate to the railway. They have
