MYSTERY YET UNSOLvED
THE CRAWFORD Girl, NEVER
GAVE EVEN A HINT OF IN
WARD EMOTION.

OnmoVed She Watched Medical En-
perts Carve Slices From the Spleen
and Handle the Brain of Her
Dead Sister.
NEW ORLEANS. sensation
al trial of Annie Crawford for the
alleged murder of her sister, Elise
Crawford, resulted in mistrial to-
day.
Inc result was not unexpected BY
either the prosecuting attorneys or
counsel for the defense. Miss Craw-
lord probably will be released on
pail this week, and it is doubtful if
an effort will be made to bring her
to troal for the alleged crime the
second time.
TO the majority of the vast throng
which followed the proceedings of
the trial for the last two weeks the
black-garbed, yelled, International
little woman is still an enigma.
Confessedly a morphine eater for
more than six years Annie Crawford
was absolutely deprived of this drug
from the date of her incarceration.
September q last, four days after
her sisters mysterious death, and,
without any stimulant, she sat out
the most dramatic scenes of the long
trial with m in, ,,,r, b;Io oo....4
Even when the heart of the sister
whom she is charged with numbering
was exhibited to the jury she gave no
mint of any inward emotion. She
watched the medical experts carve
slices from the spleen of Elise and
handle the brain of her dead sister
without the constant gaze of the
spectators and court officials being
able to fathom her feelings.
Elise Crawford's death was lust
one Of four sudden and mysterious
deaths in the Crawford family within
a space of fifteen months. The bod
les of the father, mother and another
! sister, Mary Agnes, had decomposed
long before any suspicion had attach
ed to Annie. The experts told Dis
trict Attorney Adams that there was
no means of notification of his sus-
PIGEONS that the first three to die
had been victims of poison. The
contemplated autopsies were aban-
doned and the cause of their demise
remains part of the complex mys-
terry involved in the case.
The state proved that Elise Craw-
ford, who died Sept %, 1911, was
the victim of morphine poisoning. A
partial analysis of the stomach of
the dead girl by City Chemist A. L.
/ Metz showed four and d half grains
of crystalized morphine In a state
ment made to District Attorney Ad-
ans September 81 Annie Crawford
admitted that she had given Elise
three One-half grains of morphine a
few hours before she died. She as
serted she did this by mistake, hav-
ing intended to give her sister Gallo
mel and soda. On the witness stand
the defendant qualified this state
ment by saying that sit is possible
she gave the morphine but she had
no recollection of doing so.
The state offered a possible motive
that Annie Crawford wanted the in
surance money on Elise's life.

DIDN'T HAVE ANY BAGGAGE
So Gov. Marshall and Wife Were Not
Permitted to Register at Hotel.

When Governor Marshall of Indi-

take along some bit of baggage. He
and his wife were there the other

Great Northern Hotel for a few
hours; but they had no baggage.
Nothing doing" said the clerk in
effect; and so Governor Marshall and
Mrs. Marshall had to look elsewhere.
