court room here again today and heard
the long-drawn-out Indictment read.
as Clerk Porter explained the different
degrees of murder on which she could
be convicted, including the new statute
under which a person convicted OF
first degree murder may be made to
suffer the extreme penalty or be con-
fined in the penitentiary for life.
Commonwealth Attorney w. C.
Bibb told the jury that they must con-
slider the life or liberty of the pris-
oner on the one hand. and the vindi-
cation of the law on the other. we
expect to prove" he said, that the ac-
cused never exhibited any degree Of
grief over the staying OF her husband.
1t will also appear from the evidence
that the last attempt to fire the Hall
store was made by Mrs. Hall: that the
FIRE broke out ten minVtes after she left
the store, and that she was seen to go
to the pantry in which the first was
discovered"
r. Lindsay Gordon. counsel for the de-
ICISCB Sdlu. Inc circumstances lnlS
case will be shown to be not only con-
sistent with Mrs. Halls innocence. but
You will find that the pistol mentioned
in this case had been fired at least a
month before the murder, and you will
find that though Victor Hail was much
younger than his wife they were happy
together and that he was her chief
support and hope for her and her two
Children -.-..
