FOUND GUILTY OF ARSON.
For setting Fire 10 House Martha
Hill Got on With Light Sentence.


After being out a short while. the
jury in the case of Martha Hin,
charged with arson, returned a verdict
finding her guilty and recommending
her to the mercy of the court. Judge
Barrow, respecting the recommended
ton, sentenced the woman to twelve
months on the chaingang, in lieu of
the payment of fine of 500 and costs.
The evidence against the woman was
purely but strongly circumstantial. 1t
was shown that she had stolen
dress, the party to whom 1t was
pawned testifying that the woman had
pawned ii with him on the afternoon
the crime was committed. After steal
ing the dress Martha attempted TO
cover up her tracks by burning the
house. She had often been heard to
remark that If she ever did anything
wrong she would cover up her tracks.
A fire was built under a bed, in one
of the rooms of the residence of Mrs.
Lois Churchill, with whom the girl was
employed as servant girl. Gasoline
was poured over the floor from the
spot where the fire was built to the
wardrobe form which the dress was
taken. This evidence was strong
enough against the defendant, but to
complete the chain, a key, which fitted
the side of the wardrobe from which
the dress was taken, and which did not
fit the other side, was found in the
bureau drawer in the defendants
room.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. f. Churchill and
their sister, Miss Mary A. Churchill.
were in attendance on the court as wit
nesses. They testified that Martha's
mother had been in their employ for
fourteen years, and for that reason
they had to be very sure of her guilt
before bringing her to trial. r. u
Colding prosecuted for the state. while
the defendants interests were looked
out for by II. d. d. TMiggs.

cast does not presage any stupendous
rise in his reputation.
Sergeant Kitty proved a welcome
surprise. The advertising and advance
notices suggested a work on about the
same plane as Mile Napoleon" or

be a genuine opera-coherent, cogent,
clever, and comic-albeit a little pop

pleasure. In the course OF the week the
reason for this developed. Mr. Sloane.
