( laudanum and choroform. She was dis
covered before the drugs had taken serious
effect and removed 10 the inhrmary, where
she was under treatment until Thursday

Judge AIastprson said Mrs. GibSons home

to end her existence.
Judge MastcrSon tclcgraphed the brother
Of deceased the news of his sisters death
