Miss Mary Ann Barry, whose state
ment to her brother William, brought
about the killing of William Mellun, OF
Milton, was brought to the asylum here
by Sheriff Robertson, OF Cavalier. She
is tall, dark and unattractive. Her face
has the usual look OF a maniac, with
eyes staring straight ahead, and her
general appearance is that OF an old
maid OF thirty-fve years whose pleasures
OF life have been few. She was assisted
from the train into carriage in waiting
and taken directly to the asylum. There
her case was defined as agitated
melancholia, a state of mind said to
result from too much brooding over one
particular subject. The truth of the
statements Of Miss Barry to her'brother
have not as yet been investigated, but
probably will be within a week or SO.
On this will! depend the fate OF William
Barry, her brother.-Jamestown Alert.
