out against the heavier German guns

had given the Germans the position. When
the Germans once ventured out into the

 History
TRIAL OF CARLYLE HARRIS

On February 2, 1892, was terminated one of the most interesting domestic trials in the history of the New York courts, that of Carlyle H. Harris, for the poisoning of his wife just one year and day before. The jury had delib- erated several days before they reach ed a verdict, and on the following Feb ruary Sth, the sentence Of death was pronounced by Recorder Smyth, to take place during the week of March 21. The prisoner was respited and the exc cution was delayed for more than year and finally took place on May 8. 1893.
 Carlyle Harris was descended from prominent New York family, and first met Miss Helen Potts in the Summer of 1889 at Ocean Grove, N. J. At the time he was only twenty years of age. They were secretly married the follow ing February. Harris was at the time student at a medical school and de- sired that the marriage should not be generally known, but the mother of the girl insisted on marriage by minis ter, the first ceremony having been performed by an Alderman.
 Harris had evidently become tired of his child-wife and his visits were be- coming less frequent. On January 20 he secured a prescription for six cap sules, each to contain one-siXth of a
 grain of morphine and four and half grains of quinine. He gave Helen four of the pills, telling her to take one each night On the evening of Saturday.
 January 31, Helen took the last pill and ! went to bed. She became very i'll that night and died at eleven o'clock the fol- 1 lowing Sunday morning.
 l Harris was sent for. He seemed to care little for his wife's death He ] produced the two pills he kept out of the box to show that his prescription | was all right The contention of the state was that he had taken out three | pills and put in the one that had killed | her. Judge Gray, of the Court of Ap- peals, says the evidence showed that Harris went away expecting that the 1 deadly pill would be one of the first
 taken. By strange coincidence it was l the last.
 l The apparent preparations Harris had made to clear himself of suspicion
 and the previous remarks he had made | about wishing that Helen was out of | the way. caused suspicion to fall on l him. He refused also to allow Helen to
 be buried as Mrs. Harris. He told many conflicting stories to Helen s
 mother, who repeated them to the dis
 trict attorney. The latter presented
 the facts to the grand jury, which in dicted him on May 13, 1891. He was arrested and brought to trial on Jan
 uary IA, 1892, and the jury three weeks
