Mrs. Emily Fisher, of Perryville, was
placed ON trial in Cecil Circuit Court,

Gillespie guilty of first-degree muir
der. Mrs. Gillespies attorney count
cred with plea of not guilty, be-
cause of temporary insanity. He

heard about her husband, Walter
Gillespie, and Mrs. Fisher.
The case was given the jury Friday
afternoon, and at 1885 o'clock that
night verdict of manslaughter was
returned, with recommendation of
mercy. Judge J Owen Knots SEN
fenced Mrs. Gillespie to four years
in the Maryland House of Correction.

and furnished bond of $4,000. She
was then released from Jail pending

guilty of manslaughter, with rec
ommendation for the minimum pen
atty, they were sent back after Judge

JURORS DISAGREE IN DEIBERT
WILL CASE

The jury in the suit of Miss Clo-
thilda Deibert, by her mother and
next friend, Mrs. Mary D. Deibert,
of Elkton to break the last will of
Edward Deibert, who for number
of years was president of the E. Del
bert & Bros. Barge Building Com
pany, failed to agree upon a verdict
and were discharged.
The suit which involves an estate
worth about 100000 was instituted
in the Circuit Court at Elkton, and
then removed to the Circuit Court
for Caroline County at Denton for
trial.
Mr. Deibert bequeathed one-half
of his estate to his daughter, Mrs.
Charles H. LETTERS of Elkton, and the
remainder to his grandchildren, in
Guiding the plaintiff, a daughter of
the late Reuben Deibert. The plain
tiff contends undue influence caused
the testator to draw up the will in
it's form and that she is entitled to
one-half of the estate. Mr.. Deibert
had but two children, Mrs. c. H.
LETTERS and the PLAINTIFFS father. 1t
is probable that the case will be
retired.

NEW LICENSE TAG REGISTRA.
TION LAW

Governor Nice on Wednesday last
affixed his signature to the measure
passed at the recent session of the
Legislature, which changes the date
of registration for securing motor
vehicle license tags, from December
81 to March 81.
Under the law, motorists may use
their 1886 tags until that date and

add considerable revenue to the State
treasury because a great many mo-
florists skipped the first quarter
