THE WOMEN ACQUITTED.
Female Convfcts at MiIIedgevIlle
Not Guilty of Arson.

Female Convfcts at MilIedgevllle
Not Guilty of Arson.
Milledgeville Ca, Jan. 19.-The jury, af-
ter being out for several hours. brought
In a verdict of not guilty in the case of
the state against the four female con-
victs charged with arson. The three
darkies on trial, to all appearances took
absolutely no interest in the progress Of
the case.
The white woman, Mary Traylor. as
soon as the argument commenced, gave
1t from start to finish an uneasy atten-
ton, that showed she was greatly af-
fected by the procedure. Her face wore
a drawn, uneasy expression, and scarce
ly changed during the whole rehearsal
Of facts by her appointed attorneys.
The verdict of innocence, when It was
read this morning caused a sad smile to
play on her countenance which hardened
into a disconsolate grimace. 1t seemed
that the relief of being acquitted had
scarcely lighted her face with a smile OF
content and joy than the quick realiza-
ton of her already sad condition OF life,
hardened every lineament to one Of set
tied misery.
The successful efforts of Messrs. Pres
ton and Gray in behalf of the unfortu-
nate creatures, deserve recognition. The
lines along which the most telling I'M
pressions were made upon the jury was
the fact that every witness against the de-
fendents, save the officials and one con-
Wet. were convicts sent for hfe to the
penitentiary. Every convict witness was
sent up for murder. and was serving a
life sentence. The touching appeals of the
