The judge stated that neither in the history of American nor English jurisprudence was there a case like that of Alice Mitchell’s. As to the medical experts, he read from an eminent law writer who said that in matters physiological, there is no hypothesis so monstrous that inexpert cannot he found to swear to it on the stand. When the jury retired Alice Mitchell engaged in a sprightly conversation with one of the attorneys and became facetious, while her fathers and brothers’ faces wore a look of terrible anxiety. Once a loud hurst Of laughter escaped her. Neither the galtows nor the lunatic asylum with its horrors has any terror for this wonderfully constructed girl. When the jury returned a verdict declaring her insane her father's frame shook with emotion. Miss Mitchell looked at the jury, then at her father, and smiled. An order was entered for her confineme nt in the lunatic asylum at Bolivar. The young lady seemed highly amused at being ing dubbed a lunatic as she left the court-room for the jail. If Alice Mitchell should recover she will then be placed on trial for murder, and then she can plead that she was insane at the time of the committing of the crime. If she should be able to sustain her plea then she would go scot free. In tho opinion of the experts, however, her insanity is progressive and it is only a question of time when this victim of erratic mania will he a drivelling idiot through the decay of brain tissue. Lillie Johnson was indicted jointly with. Alice Mitchell, and this finding of the jury will probably cause a cessation of the prosecution in her case. Miss Johnson has been a constant attendant during the trial, and she has displayed great anxiety on its outcome. It is said that this young lady will die of cdtfsnmptiop in a short time. Miss Mitchell passed the evening quietly in her room at the jail, where she had her mother as a companion. She expressed a wish to see Freda Ward’s grave before being taken to Bolivar, hut beyond that she seemed to be absolutely indifferent as to what may he done with her. AN AWFUL SPECTACLE.
