il was not material to the issue wheth-
ed she was insane at the time of the
trial or not. This statement of the law
is incorrect. The law in this state on
this subject is plain and unequivocal.
Sec. 2S5, Chap. IS, Hurd's Statutes of
Illinois. 1903. reads as follows:
No Judgment While Insane.
"A person that becomes lunatic or
insane after the commission of a crime
or misdemeanor shall not be tried for
the offense during the continuance of
the lunacy or insanity. If, after the
verdict of guilty, and before judgment
pronounced, such person become lun-
attic or insane, then no judgment shall
be given while such lunacy or insan-
ity shall continue. And if, after judg
ment and before execution of the SEN
tcnce. such person becomes lunatic or
insane, then in case the punishment is

It is because most women suffer from
some arrangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
to provide resting places for their fe-
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeons knife.
Read the experience of Miss Margret
Merkley, 275 Sd Street, Milwaukee,
Wis:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
Gradual loss of strength, nervousness,
bearing-down pains and extreme irritation
compelled me to seek medical advice. The
alton. and advised an operation if l wanted
to get well / objected to this and decided
to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound trial. I soon found that all the good
things said about this great medicine were
true The liberation soon healed, backache,
headache and nervousness disappeared, and
in a short time j was strong, vigorous and
perfectly well. wish every working girl
who suffers would try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is vegetable tonic which invig-
crates and Strengthens the entire fe-
male organism, and will produce the
same beneficial results in the cases of
other sick women as with Miss Merkley.

characteristics which made him the
prominent man he became. The speak

capital, the execution thereof shall be

son from the insanity or lunacy. In
all these cases, it shall be the duty of
the court TO impanel jury to try the
question whether the accused be, at
the time of impaneling, insane or lun-
attic
Insane persons can no more be legal
~ tried, convicted or sentenced for
crime during the continuance of their
insanity than dead persons could be,
for the reason that they are not cap
able of conducting their defense, CON
suiting with counsel, testifying, or do
ing any of those things which sane
persons can do in their own defense f.;
and where, as in this case. the evil
dence on the trial of the merits of the
cause disclosed the fact that the de
PENDANT was insane during the trial,
the jury cannot legally find a defendant
guilty, and where a jury does so find
on such evidence the verdict is con
trary to the law and the evidence and
must be set aside.
Jury Not Blamed.
l do not in any way blame or criti-
CHE the jury for the verdict in this
case, because this issue was not fully
and fairly presented to them. True,
Mr.. Cooke, in his opening statement to
the jury said. that the defense so far
as this defendant was concerned, was
that she was insane at the time the
acts were alleged to have been COM
mited, "ana is insane now" and for
that reason was incapable of telling
either to her attorneys or the jury
what the truth was in relation to the
acts charged; but no instructions were
asked by the defense or the state de-
filming to the jury their duty if they
should find her sane at the time of the
commission of the acts and insane at
the time Of the trial. or explaining TO
them the degree of mental capacity
they must find the defendant to have
at the time CT the trial in order to justi-
fly a verdict of guilty on the merits of
the case If this had been done there
can be no doubt that the jury would
have found that the defendant was not
sane at the time of the trial, for they
were fair and intelligent men and
would have followed the evidence and
the law. if so explained to them, and
as before shown, all the evidence on
this point was unit that she was then
insane To sustain verdict of guilty
when the evidence is in the shape it is
in this case would be rank injustice
and a violation of the courts official
oath and duty.
The failure to ask such direction to
the jury, if an oversight, was unfortu-
nate. and if by design, was unfair TO
the jury. and was undoubtedly the
cause of the verdict being as it GER
tainly is, contrary to law.
For the reasons stated, the motion
for a new trial is allowed. The verdict
is set aside and a new trial is granted.
