MRS. 4. 0RNERI5
GUILTY
Life Sentene Given Woman
in Sixth Trial; Defence
Expected to Appeal.

Guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree" was the verdict of the jury in
the Orner case. This verdict carried
with it q. recommendation that a SEN
tence of life imprisonment in the
states prison be imposed upon Mrs
Agnes Orner for the alleged murder Of
her Il year old daughter Lille on Feb.
10, 1911.
The jury returned the verdict at .
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, ending
the sixth trial OF the FL PasO woman
on the charge Of poisoning her
daughter.
The prisoner went and moaued as the
verdict of the jury was read but soon
became calm and left the courtroom
to return to her cell in the county jail
with few signs of emotion
The jury was out nearly As hours

night after the case had been on trial

Defence Objects to Juror.
When the verdict was announced,
counsel for the defence raised an OBJ
lection on the ground that one of the
jurors was neither freebooter or
householder When the attorneys were
questioned by Judge Dan VI. Jackson
as to when this was found out, 1t was
stated that the discovery had been
made on Tuesday, after the case had
gone to the jury
This juror was T. G. Graham, who,
when examined, stated that he was IN
married, lived with his mother in a
tent and held no property. 1t is prob
able that on the ground that the juror
was not qualified a motion for a new
trial viii be fled.
The case is said to have been the
most hard fought in FL PasO in recent
years. The defence was represented
by judge T. A. Falvey. Victor Moore
and Charles owen. while the states
case was conducted by district attOr-
ney ". W. Bridgers and acting assist

History OF CHse.
The trial Just closed was the sixth
since 1911. The first trial was held in
Fl Paso and resulted in 9 life sentence
for Mrs. Orner. The court Of criminal
appeals. however, reversed it and or
dered a new trial because the trial
judge had overlooked having the jury
state in what degree OF murder it had
found her guilty James r. Harper, at
present chief justice Of the eighth
court Of civil appeals, was the trial
judge.
The case was then transferred on q
change Of venue to Maria. then to
Pecos, then to Midland and finally to
Van Horn and in each instance the
jury failed TO reach a verdict and were
discharged. The case was then brought
back to FL Paso by judge Dan II. Jack
son Of the 34th district court.
Mrs Orners husband died in 1909
Shortly after his death. Mrs. Orner
was tried on an insanity charge and
found to be in her right mind When.
two years later, her daughter died,
she was indicted for murder and then
began the long series Of trials that re-
suited in her conviction.

The very first important act Of this

constituted a complete reversal of our
time-honored policy and constituted an
aIIront to the dignity OF Mexico as an

In his demands upon and his COM

erred in three important particulars
