of his sister, Mrs Theresa Martin,
that it was she and not the defendant
who stabbed to death Charles Muldoon

woman made this confession, yester-
day. when promised immunity; but the
judge charged the jury to take into
consideration when weighing her tes-
timony. that she had lied to the corO-
ner, and that she was participant in
a saloon brawl.
The jurors informed the court that
they saw through the efforts of Mrs.
Martin to make the impression that
she and not McDermott. was guilty of
the crime. They gave her credit for
q brave sacrifice, but they said her
story was not plausible enough They
explained that they were cognizant of
mitigating circumstances, which re-
suited in their recommendation for
mercy.
McDermott was intoxicated. they
said, at the time of the homicide, and
did the killing in the firm belief that
his sister had been wronged by Null
