Davenport. Oct 24.-After four hours
of deliberation, the jury in the Lulu
Bennett murder case returned a verdict
finding the defendant guilty of murder
in the first degree and fixing her pun
ishment at life Imprisonment.
The jury took nine ballots before
reaching its verdict. The twelve jury
men were convinced that the defend
ant killed Mary Mason, but they diff
fered as to what degree of murder she
would be found guilty of.
The question voted on was whether
or not the defendant was guilty of
murder in the first degree. The first
ballot stood; yes eight. no four. On the
second ballot the vote changed nine
to three and remained at this ratio I'M
til the sixth ballot when it changed
ten to two On the seventh ballot II
changed eleven to one and on the ninth
and final ballot, was unanimous for
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree
At 9 o'clock the prisoner was
brought into the court room tn hear
the verdict read. She showed not the
least concern and was the coolest per-
son in the court room. When the
verdict was opened and read in her
presence, she did not display the least
sign of emotion or regret. When led
from the court room back to Jail. she
laughed over the verdict and evident
ly felt happy to think she had es-
capped hanging.
Before the verdict had been re-
turned she remarked to one of the jail
attendants: Il don't care if they do
hang me il they will give me bottle
first BY this remark she meant she
had no dread of hanging if they would
allow her to fortify herself against
the ordeal by drinking bottle of
whisky. This remark was characters
tic Of the woman. She had no aim or
object in life She recognized no flu
ture before her. Her only desire was
to satisfy her abnormal appetite for
whisky and alcohol. SO long as she
secured these intoxicants, she cared
for nothing else.

Remedies That Can Be

For the benefit of those who may be

Some persons, DR.. Woodward says,
become cold when stricken by neat, and
others suffer the reverse effect. In the
treatment of the latter DR.. Woodward
says it is imperative that the patient
Immediately be placed In some cool or
shady place. and cold water dashed over
the head and body.
When possible the sufferer should be
placed in a bathtub Of cold water, the
eXtremities and body being vigorously
rubbed during the immersion. This will
bring the temperature down. but some
times the temperature continues 20 fail
after the patient has been removed from
the tub. Warmth should then be pro-
duced by massage and the application or
hot towels. Again IL occurs that the
shock Of the cold waite. produces mus
cular spasms. In these cases five min
inns OF amyl nitrate should be given as
an inhalation, and the temperature OF
the water increased
The slightest indication of headache

be needed, and the patient removed 10 a
cool place. A teaspOOnfui Of aromatic
spirits Of ammonia in a glass OF cold
