DRY, who came into the grocery, and,
in the accent Of the old South, ask I'd

night says: A motion to quash the indict-
ment In the case of j. Samuel McCue

present, was in tears, sobbing convulsively
much of the time.
The accused lawyer came into the room

ward him as he went to his seat, and. TAX
ing his handkerchief quickly from his
pocket, he put it to his eyes and sat down.
vulsively.
The commonwealth again announced Its
readiness to proceed. but Mr.. Harmon and
his associates We're comforting over the
form Of the motion to quash. Upon invi-
tation, Mr.. McCue drew his chair into
the circle, drying his eyes as he did So
and read the paper. He then arose, went
forward to the lawyers table, signed the
paper and returned to his seat and wept
more convulsively than before.
The prisoners attorneys objected to the
validity Of the Indictment on the ground
that Henry l.. Lyman, q member of the
grand jury. was not a resident of the city
Mr.. Gilmer said that the proposition was
a novel one to him, and that he had never
seen a case of the kind before. He would
have to ask for time to consider the paper.
Judge Morris said he would take time to
consider the motion to quash the indfct-
ment and ordered court adjourned till 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, land the pris-
oner was remanded to jail.

frequently declared that they were tired of
the struggle for life and wanted to die
Inc women were fifty-cight and fifty-six
years DID, respectively.
few years ago Mary contracted a dis
ease which had been pronounced incurable
since then she has brooded over her illness
ana her melancholy was shared by her sis
ter. Their lives had been happy and use
fui up to that time. The question of com
hitting suicide was often discussed with
nelshbors, who discouraged such an end TO
life. The. elder sister, however remained
steadfast in her determination to kill her
self, and 1t is believed that Lizzie soon he
gan to agree with her that such a proceed
ing was justifable.
In the darkness of early evening il is he

for train to come along and crush out
their lives.
