Mute Who Tried to Kill An
other Mute is
Freed.

Hell hath no fury like woman

torney o'Leary yesterday in an appeal
to the jury of Chief Justice McCoy's
court to convict Mrs. Cora +. Schuess-
Ter "a deaf mute. on the charge of as
sault with a dangerous weapon and
assault with intent to kill.
Not guilty on account of insanity at
the time of the act" was the verdict
Of the jury. however. in accordance
with the evidence brought forward by
Walter P. Plumley, attorney for the
defendant
Early in the morning of August 30
last Mrs. Schuessler waited, il is al
legged. for Gilbert o. Erickson, also a
deaf mute. at the District line car stop
in Takcma Park. She shot Erickson
with a revolver when he arrived TO
take a car to his place Of business,
with a local engraving company, ac-
cording to the testimony given in
court.
Il did it," Mrs. Schuessler told the
jury through the medium of an inter
prefer. because he had ruined my
good name.
Mr.. Plumley urged that during a
period previous TO 1916 Erickson's con-
duct was so brutal to Mrs. Schuessler
that she was driven completely out Of
her mind. When Mrs. Schuessler last
summer revived the memory OF all she
had suffered Mr.. Plumley maintained
that she was again temporarily de-
ranged.
Erickson. though a deaf mute, gave
his own testimony in distinct and
measured words. Mrs. Schuessler lives
on Cedar street in Takoma Park and
Erickson is a resident of 3 Maple
avenue.
When the jury returned the verdict
Of mot guilty" Mr.. Plumley was EN-
braced by three women, witnesses for
the defense. and received many little
slips of paper telling him OF the graft
tude of deaf mute men and women
that Mrs. Schuessler had been &C
