FERRANovA GIRLS CASE.
Paroled at New York Today-Not
Full Liberty.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Josephine Terra
nova, the young woman who was recently
acquitted by jury of the murder of her
aunt, was today paroled in the custody of
her counsel by Justice Scott. The action
was taken at the request of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ely.
Although freed from confinement In the
Tombs, where she had been held a prisoner
for many months, the action of the court
today does not restore the young woman to
full liberty. She is still under indictment
on charge of the murder of her uncle, and
her counsel must produce her in court at
any time upon request of the district at
torney to stand trial for that crime. 1t is
not at all certain that the case ever will be
called, however, and the girl may never
have to answer for the death of the man
whom she charges with having abused her.
