IN OUR OWN STATE
Mullen Not Guilty Of Murder by
Reason Of Insanity
Testimony Showed That He Was a Moral
Pervert--oVer Grams OF Arsenic
Found in Dead Mans Stomach.

After being out less than 80 minutes
the jury in the murder case Of state
against Ray Mullen returned verdict at
Montpelier Wednesday Of not guilty by
reason Of insanity. The respondent re-
ceived the verdict without the culver Of
an eyelash and with the same stolid in
difference that characterized him through
out the trial. The court issued an order
committing Mullen to the state prison at
Windsor until released by order of court.
The closing arguments were made by
w. A Lord for the respondent and Atty
Gen. c. c. Fits for the state. The
charge to the jury by Judge George NJ.
Powers was clear and to the point He
told the jury they had three alternatives.
to bring in a verdict Of guilty Of murder
in the first degree a verdict OF not guilty.
or a verdict Of not guilty by reason Of in
sanity. II they believed the evidence and
the law laid down by the court warranted
any one OF these three verdicts
Mullen was nurse and the evidence
tended to show that he gave Batchelder
sandwich on which arsenic had been
placed. Prof. II. L. White. chemist at the
state laboratory in Burlington. testified
that he found 1888 grams OF arsenic in
Batchelder's stomach. The respondents
counsel did not attempt 10 prove that he
did not administer arsenic in a sandwich.
a large amount OF testimony tended to
and a very dangerous man 10 be at
large. He will probably be sent to the
state hospital fer the insane.

The Smallest Republic.

Ten miles inland from the Adriatic
seacoast Of Italy, and entirely surrounded
by Italian soil, lies the smallest republic
and what is claimed to be the Oldest
state in the world-the republic OF San
Marine. Its area is but 80 square miles
and its population at the last census was
but HOOP. yet it's history dates back to
its founding in the third century after
Christ by Dalmatian monk named Mar
tinus. Somehow-by a miracle it would
seem-the little republic has escaped the
stress and turmoil OF the succeeding CEN
turtles, escaped even the hand of Napo-
leon in the years when he made and re-
made the map OF Europe at his imperial
win. Yet perhaps strangest OF all is that
1t should have retained its separate iden-
tity despite the movement for national
unity which swept over Italy in the last
century and which. guided by Cavour
and Victor Emmanuel, came at last 70
its day OF triumph
