When She Pleads Guilty to
Manslauehter.

New York.-The trial of Berthe
Gerdron came to sudden termi-
nation Tuesday when the young
French woman pleaded guilty, on ad-
vice Of her counsel, to manslaughter
in the first degree. That this, how
ever, is not the end of the case and
that an attempt will be made to con-
tinue 1t as an investigation of a GER
tain class of policemen, with Berthe
Claiche as states evidence, was made
plain by statements both of the judge,
before whom the trial was conducted,
and by the defendants own counsel.
Supreme Court Justice Davis, in
remanding the Young woman for SEN
tence until March 80 and in discharg-
ing the jury said:
"There are many features of the
case which induced the court to ac-
cept and defendant to offer the plea of
manslaughter in the first degree, and
think when final results shall have
been reached and sentence imposed,
the court will see that the interests of
justice will be served"
At the close of the trial the defend
ant was carried to the Tombs prison,
struggling Historically with the police
officers and screaming.
Possible charges against policemen
growing out of this case have been
foreshadowed from the beginning of
the trial. The prosecution at the be-
ginning declared that Gerdron was
lured to his death on July last by a
plot in which a policeman assisted
