Of Mrs. Dixon.

The case Of Mrs. Frances Dixon,
changed with completely in the forge-v
for which her mother. Mrs, Arabella
Griffev, was convicted few DAYS ago,
was called in the Circuit ccnrt Thurs
day morning Before the trial was for
mally opened, however, Mrs. Griffev
was brought into court to receive sem
teuce. it BENG necessary to impose
punishment before she was puS upon
the stand to testify in the case against
her daughter.
Sudge Faulkner was as leulent with
the unfortunate woman as the law
would permit. but inasmuch as the
curry had declared her guilty., there
was nothing left him but. to impose
senteuce. He spoke kindly to her.
Estating that 1T was the first time in
\ his experience on the bench that he
WAS compelled to sentence female TO
tho penitentiary, but that notwith-
standing the painful situation he had
no recourse other than to give her the
lightest sentence the law compelled
two years in the penitentiary.
| When the full meaning of the judge &
words was 9rasped by the anfoI tunate
woman. she broke down completely
and wept like child. Her aged hns-
band ccmforted her as best he could,
aud led her from the room.
THE prosecution developed strong
case against Mrs. Frances Dixon, in
Producing MANY witnesses whose evi
dence tended to show that it was she
who affixed the names OF both her

viously given, saying in effect. Three
of the jurors rose in their seats and
said that to the best of their recol-
lection the court had not charged
them at all on the question of pants"
But they afterward changed and
said that I had said whether, " said
Judge norwood, dtd uhey not!
"Oh yes" responded Judge Twiggs,

such a charge"
