Hackett eighteen years old, Of Readheld'
Will be brought to the attention of the
Supreme Court next Tuesday, when Mrs.
Elsie Hobbs Raymond, neiehbor OF the
Hackett family, is placed on trial here
charged with committing the crime.
Two grand juries considered evidence
regarding the case but no Indictment
was returned. Last April the case was
again taken up and an indictment found
naming Mrs. Raymond She was arrested
and then released under $1,000 bonds.
The murdered girl was the daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. Levi Hackett and lived on
her fathers farm. on the evening OF
october II, 1905, she was left alone IN the
house. Her mother and sister had gone
TO call at a neighbours, and her father
was busy about the barn, when screams
for help attracted his attention.
After cropping around in the darkness
for few minutes the father found his
daughter lying by the roadside and car
RED her into the house. In the excite
ment a small cord, drawn tightly about
her neck and buried In the flesh, escaped
notice When the cord was found she
had died from strangulation.
The state alleges that Mrs. Raymond

Not Begin Soon Enough.

Albany, Nov. 17.-That more intelligent
discrimination by the authorities "in the
handling Of the hayward women problem

an attack on one Of the greatest and
most neglected evils Of the day" is the
opinion expressed by Commissioner Frank
r. Wade In a report 10 the state prison
commission Of recent inspection Of the
Western House Of Refuge for Women at
Albion.
Commissioner Wade says that each in
mate must become reasonably proficient
in at least one Industrial occupation be-
fore leaving the institution, and that
about twenty OF the women work around
the grounds and on the farms In the
light work Of gardening and caring for
the lawns. Continuing, ne says:
II the courts would become more ia

they were the most susceptible 10 rclOr-

they reach a more degraded condition.
