to-day a plea Of guilty of murder in the
second degree for the death of Franklin

30, 1914. Judge Keller Immediately
sentenced Mrs Gilligan to life imprison-
ment in the State Prison at Wethers

Superior Court here for the last ten
days.
Change OF plea came after a consulta-
ton between Benedict NJ. Holden. chief
counsel for Mrs. Gllligan. and States
Attorney Hugh Alcorn. The prosecutor
explained to the court that some doubt
might exist as to whether Mrs. Gilligan
was a free moral agent because OF her
use OF drugs. and the court agreed that
such doubt might be entertained suffi-
cientIy by the jury to cause second
degree verdict.
This was the second trial OF Mrs. Gil
llgan. The first was In Hartford in 1916.

the first degree. sentenced TO be hanged.
and was reprieved by Gov Holcomb that
she might appeal. Change OF venue was
obtained, and her second trial started In

cially distinguished themselves at this
work are Marquis Bartolini and Prin-
