Judge Vance presided and" the case was heard by a jury. The sole question with which the jury had to concern itself was as to the sanity of the accused, and, expert medical testimony having been given to the effect that Williams was not sane, the Crown, represent- ed by Crown Attorney Cotter and W.

Williams, who travelled under the name of Cole, it will be remembered, ihad broken into cottages of summer gresidents in the` neighborhood of |Coldwater and Midland, the resid- ences of Dr. Abbott and J.

The winter of 1869-70 set in on.Nov. 6 and lasted till Apr. 1, when-the birds returned. The winter was mild with heavy snowfalls. The winters of 1880, 1890, 1900 and "1910 were all mild..

The fol- lowing spring` was late; April was cold and backward. It is noteworthy thatevery ten years from` 1871 to 1921 had dry summers - not that they were the only ones.
