MRS. ANDERSON'S
 SANITY MAY BE PROBED
(From Thursdays Daily)

What may prove the closing act in the drama of Bernice Wiley Anderson will be enacted in the Superior court early next month, according to an an nouncement by Judge Sweeney yes terday While it is understood that the verdict of trial jury recently, entirely frees Mrs. Anderson from the tolls of the law, she has been held in the county jail, pending action by either relatives or the law ill the matter of her present sanity.
 Mrs. Anderson's case may be hand led either by jury, sitting to inquire into her mental condition, or by a lunacy commission, composed of medical men in conjunction with the Superior judge. It has not been given out yet which course will be pursued.
 Her insanity at the time of the fatal shooting of Jack Wilson on May 2nd has been established legally by the decision of the jury which acquitted her on this grounds. There was, however, a jury record declaring her sane at the time of her first trial on a charge of murder in the first degree. Ii is said to be a question in the minds of the authorities as to whether this finding can be taken into consid- eration in connection with her pres ent liberty. It is said that a relative is prepared to swear out a complaint under which she can still be tried either by a commission or by jury, on the charge of being mentally ire sponsiblc. Should either the jury or the commission find her insane, she can be incarceratcd in an asylum.
 Local medical talent was divided on the question of her present sanity and also on the question of her sanity at the time of the homicide

 The accident occurred at the top of Mint Gulch and was reached with some difficulty by the authorities. A fournile walk was made necessary by the rough character of the ground.
 Immediately following the shoot ing, Castro started for Jerome Juno ton. There, he reported the story and awaited the coming of the sheriff to whom he gave the gun and as full a story of the affair as his nervous and sorrowful condition would per nit. Castro was brought to Prescott but not locked up. Although the find ing of the coroner's jury, headed by Julius Jacoby, clears him of any crime, Justice of the Peace McLane will hold a further inquiry into the subject, it was said last night.
