repeat a part of the solo.
The last address was made by Hon.

was at a disadvantage in being the
last to speak and that near lunch time.

very graceful and beautiful compli-

fitting close to a very delightful eX-
ercise. The last number on the pro-
gram was selection by the orchestra,
but before it was rendered Mr.. Red

formally dedicated.
The dedication of the new City hall
was certainly a beautiful service. Mr..
Redington performed the duties that
fell to him as presiding officer very
gracefully indeed and had no small
share in the success of the event. The
opening of the real celebration of the
centennial was certainly under the
most favorable auspices.

The Public Rscen tion.

In the evening a public reception was
tenered Governor Hill and party in the
new City hall and was one of the
largest social functions ever seen in the
city. The hall was crowded long before
the hour set for the opening of the re-
ception and the whole building was
througed all through the evening. The
receiving line was stationed on the
stage with the orchestra in the rear.
The people passed up one side onto the
stage from the floor and gallery, across
the stage and out by the back passage
way and through the body of the hall
at the front.
The arrangement of the hall received
Il most severe test and was fully equal
to it for the huge crowd was handled
easily and without confusion, everyone
being on the move all the time. The re-
ceiving line consisted of the Governor
and his party and the regular centen-
NAL reception committee. The Cover
nor's party consisted of His Excellency
and Mrs. Hill, Adjutant General Au-
gustus B. Farnham of Augusta; Col.
w. NJ Aver of Oakland; Col. f. c. Dill
of Augusta; Maj. Holman F. Day of
Lewiston: Col Francis f. Keefe of kit

the evening. All the seats in the hall
were occupied by interested spectators,
while the reception was in progress.

At this point the government rested

At this point the government rested
it's case.
After a brief recess ]. Stewart Muir
ply made the opening address for the
defnse. In part he said:
Ordinary cases of this nature are
tried out in the bitter finish. In this
case the defense will not deny evidence
which the government had furnished
to you, but simply wishes TO state that
by agreement with officials represent
ing each it was determined that condi-
tions existed here that demanded that
the most expert authority on the con-
dition of the prisoher should be called
to enlighten US
DR.. George F. jolly was sworn and
questioned by DR.. Bixby.
AT some time last spring did you
see the defendant"
Yes, in conjunction with DR.. Quinn

our different examinations | think that
she was insane on the 18th of August

weak and nervous mental condition to
a certain extent, and has been suffering

now"
| On DISCRIMINATION witness said 1t
was an incurable form of insanity.
I DR. Henry r. Stedman of Boston, and
DR.. Hisea n. Quinby of Worcester, cor
roborated this.
| The defense here rested its case, and
the closing argument for the govern
ment was made by Mr. Parker in part
as follows:
| The three learned gentlement who
| have testified We're agreed upon by the
| government and the defense as gentle
| men best qualified to advise with the
| commonwealth and with the defense
concerning the condition of the prison
| err. The commonwealth does not con-
| trovert the opinions of the witnesses
who have testified, but on the contrary
believes it is the best, the most scien-
tific opinion that the commonwealth
could procure to aid the jury and the
court and to protect not only the de-
PENDANT but the safety of the public. So
the commonwealth does not contrOvert
and cannot controvert the conclusion
reached by Drs. Jelly and Stedman and
Quinby. We will offer no testimony
to aid it or impair it,"
As neither the government the coun-
sci for the defendant or the defend
ant herself had anything to say in ad-
dition, although all three We're given an
opportunity by the court. the charge to

After explaining the law Judge Bel
then instructed the jury to return q
verdict of not guilty by reason of in
sanity.
This they accordingly did, after be-
ing out - minutes, and at the sugges-
ton of the attorney general Jane Top
