MRS. LUCILLE COLBERT
GRANTED NEW TRIAL.
SUPREME COURT REVERSES ARSON
SENTENCE OF THREE YEARS
AGO ON ERROR.
May Not Be Convicted Again-Defandant
e. Years Old and Has Not
Served Time.

Madison, Wis, June "a Special /
Mrs. Lucille Colbert, aged 90 years, of
Bear Greek, Wis, convicted at Appleton
on a charge of arson in her store on
July II, 1902, causing a fire which wiped
out the village with a less of $4,000,
VIII get new trial.
Court Made Mistakes.
The principal error assigned in the
Colbert case is refusal TO give the fol-
lowing instructions:
To warrant a conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence, each fact necessary to the
conclusion sought TO be established must
be proven by competent evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt, and all the facts neces-
sary TO such conclusion must be consistent
with each other, and with the main facts
sought to be proved; and the circumstances
taken together must be OF 4 conclusive ma
turc, leading on the whole to 4 satisfactory
conclusion, and producing III effect rea.
sonable and moral certainty that the ac-
cuSed, and no other person, committed the
ofense charged. The mere union OF lin.
TIED number of independent circumstances,
each OF an imperfect and inconcluSiye char
acter, will not justify Il conviction. They
must be such as to generate and justify full
Oel1ef according to the standard rule OF
certainty.
She was convicted November IS, 1908,
and since has been at liberty, pending
May Never Be Tried Again.
Because of the age of the defendant
and the fact that the alleged crime is
several years old, it is generally believed
she will not be convicted again. She
was not sent to prison when sentenced,
physicians swearing she could not live
eight months behind Waupun's walls.
A motion for a new trial was imme-
diately made and denied. The defend
ant was granted stay Of sentence of
sixty days, and was then sentenced to
Waupun for three years, the minimum.
The case was then taken to the supreme
court, and a stay of sentence granted
until decision was arrived at. Seven
teen months later, on May ), the case
was argued before the higher court and
today the decision handed down.
Experts Give Evidence.
Expert penmen, experts on construc-
ton of sentences, members of the clergy
and neighbors were summoned as wit
nesses. An anonymous letter to priest
PLAYED the most conspicuous part in the
trial. 1t was a supposed confession by
another person of the crime.
Since the day of the trial several
changes have taken place in those who
were directly connected with the affair.
Lyman E. Barnes, who appeared as
leading counsel for the state, is now
dead, and Fred Wilcox, who was dis
trict attorney, is now state senator. Dur
ing the stay of sentence the defendant
has made her home with her daughters.

TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIEs FROM

Husbands Strength Had Been Waning for

Female Weakness.

"My strength had dwindled SO that I
couldn't apply myself to my business

time became SO feeble that could not
stir from bed for three weeks"
Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from

Trouble had invaded this household
and settled in it in just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it.

Goldstein. "Ther the urgency of some
friends led me to try a blood and nerve.

were unmistakable signs of improvement
in my condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills I have now

Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful
effect that DIR. Williams Pink Pills had

them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and a few
months treatment cured me-"

TO REPORT ON CASE.
Princess, Former New Orleans Gi
 Wants Marriage Annulked.

Rome, March 21.-Cardinal Gotti, Prefect of the Propaganda, has in structed Cardinal Martinelli to report on the case presented by Princess Ros- pigliosi, formerly Marie Jennings Reid of New Orleans, for the annulment of her first marriage with Alfred Park hurst of Bangor, Me. The case will soon be discussed before the congrega- tion of the propaganda.
 It is generally believed by ecclesias S. tical authorities that annullment will be granted, as even admitting that the Parkhurst- Reid marriage was celebrated with a dispensation which considered him protestant. the marriage Is null and void, it being now established that Colonel Parkhurst never was baptized.
 The Princess Rospigliosi, who was a Catholic. was divorced in 1889 from Colonel Parkhurst, who was a protest ant. and in 1891 was married in Rome to Prince Rospigliosi, head of an an cient family of clerical nobility and brother of the commandant of the Pa pal Noble Guard. The ceremony was a civil one and from the first the Cath ollie Church refused to recognize the marriage.
 When the Prince first applied to the Congregation of the Propaganda for recognition of his wife's divorce in the United States the church declined to recognize 1t, but Monsignor ChappelIe, who married Mrs. Parkhurst to her first husband, since testified before the Con- |gregation that the first marriage was irregular according to the law of the church.
