JURY DECLARES CONVICTED MAN HAS LOST MIND .Continued from Page One) eeventh hour reprieve. But they were only temoprary. The prospect of hanging was ever before him. Now he feels sure he has definitely escaped the death penalty. Little Show of Emotion Scott emerged from his terriffic ordeal with little show of emotion.’ -A slight tinge of pink crept into his hollow cheeks; he stroked his hand over his sleek black hair. But he spoke not a word. He was whisked away from the court before he h;yJ a chance to talk to his friends and relatives. His wife Mrs. Catherine Scott, a little woman, her hair bobbed, her face etched with lines of grief, paced the floor of the court room and corridors, almost all of the three and a half hours that the jury was deliberating. With her was Russell's mother a Urge and matronly woman. She tried to comfort her daughter-in law, but had difficulty in maintaining her own composure. Many Keep Vigil Thomas Scott, the father, sad apart most of the time, lost in thought. Morbidly curious men and women kept the vigil in the dimly lighted courtroom. Shortly before the jury was brought in word came to the family group that a verdict of insanity—therefore—had been reached. The two women groped for their handkerchiefs. Russell's wife sat tense as the jury filed in. When the clerk read the verdict, declaring that Scott “became a lunatic or insane’’ after Febbfuary 24, 1025, Mrs. Scott slumped forward and and tears of relief flowed freely. For a moment, the wife and mother clasped each others hands weeping silently. Quickly Judge David entered an order for Scott's removal. Bai iffs hulled the prisoner from the room and his wife made an unsuccessful effort to reach him. Thomas Scott was the first to recover his composyr - Triumph shone from iils face. “We've won", he cried. “Russell won’t hang.” Gathering, dazed, in a little group Mrs. Catherine Scott.

ly articulate. I haven't any. How do you feel about the verdict," "I'm glad, of course, Russell didn't get so much after all when you consider he must spend the rest of his life in the insane asylum. Whether that be better than death, will be determined by time.” "1 never thought I could stand it" she continued. "All of this has been terrible ” Three times she had kissed her hus. band farewell, believing each time It was their last meeting in life. Dissatisfaction with the law that permits convicted murderers t<» escape the gallows by the plea of insanity, was expressed in many quarters today. Several civic organizations suggested that an atempt might be made to repeal the law, which was passed in 1845. o ; Child Has Appendicitis Rob Arnold, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Arnold, was seriously ill all through the night after a sudden attack of appendicitis. This morning he was considerably improved, but is still suffering. o—: : Girl Born To Mr. And Mrs. Wai Wcinhoff Today An eight pound baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wai Wemhoff ot North Fifth street, Adams county Mem orial hospital at about twelvve o'clock today noon.
