Constables brought water and | did everything they couid to relieve her, | and Dr. Bryans was called in. Mrs. | furner was unconscious for some time, | and it was an hour before she recovered | sufficiently to be removed. In urderi that she be made as comfortable as posâ€" | sible, she was taken from the City Hall to the jail in a police ambulance, accomâ€" ‘ panied by the physician and a constable. | She revived when she reached the jail. | Mis Lordship Mr. Justice Magee | made no comment upon the finding nf{ the jury. Mrs. Turner will probably | not be sentenced until the end of the | Assizes. | A remarkable theory of how the child came to its death was, according to one of the jurors, the basis of the verdict of â€" manslaughter. This theory was in effect that Mrs. Turner, having brought the child to the Wood street house, was afraid of its presence there becoming known and tied a piece of cord around its neck to keep it _ from erying, accidentally killing it thereby. That finger marks were also fourd on the dead infant‘s throat received little attention. "This explanation â€" of it was adâ€" vanced by the foreman," said one of the witnesses last night, ‘"and what with uncertainty caused by other parts of the evidence nine of the twelve thought there was enough doubt to bring in a verdict of manslaughter. Three of _ us thought it should be murder. We were like that for an hour and a half, but, you know," explained the juryman, in you know," explaimed the juryman, in a matterâ€"ofâ€"fact way, "we didn‘t want to stay there all night, so we gave in." The jurors were also impressed by the probability â€" that Mrs. Turner had an accomplice, who might â€" have strangled the infant, and by the fact that the police were unable to bring â€" any witâ€" nesses to prove where the child â€" was from â€" the .

The jury retired at 6.28.â€"â€" Toronto despatch: "A disgrace to the administration of justice." Such are the terms George Tate Blackstock, K. C., Crown prosecutor, used. when asked this morning what he thought of the verdict. of manslaughter returned by the jury last night in the case of Mrs. Mabel Turner. _ "That is pretty strong language to be quoted as using," remarked the newsâ€" paper man. us L .s ; 1 Iom s _ in â€"â€""~It‘s not: half strong enough," said Mr. Blackstock. "Do you care to say anything furâ€" ther ‘“‘-(');\I_\' that the only reason they saved her from the gallows is because she is a womar." § *"Absolutely nothing can be done., The: jury‘s verdict is irrevocable,. The Crown can do nothing to upset it. It‘s too bad but it cannot be helped." The jurymen who returned the vet dict were early on hand in the Crininal Assize Court discussing the verdict with the other petit jurors. Many of them were averse to admitting that the only reason they Peturned the verdict of manslaughter was because of Mrs. Turâ€" per‘s sex. _ Not all, however. "Sure, that was the only reason," one of them stated. The others maintained that the eviâ€" denee wasn‘t conclusive enough for a verdict of murder, They stated that there was no doubt that Mrs. Turner caused the infant‘s death, but they statâ€" ed, "No one saw her do it." Chief of Police _ Grassett spoke: in strong terms of the verdict. "The jury had sworn to givse its verdict on the evidence without fear, favor or affecâ€" tion. Did it do so? There could not be a case more complete for a proper verdict than the one against Mrs. Turâ€" ner. There never will be a better case, Of courss it is notoriously more diffiâ€" eult to conviet a woman of murder than a man. 1 suppose that is on account of the chivalrous feelings of the jurors toâ€" ward â€" female prisoners. _ Then, again, there is such a strong prejudice in this country against hanging a woman that even if a verdict of murdet had been brought in by the jury, it is hardly likely that Mrs. Turnet would have been hanged. The Judge can sentence her to life imprisonment, and that is a heary peralty. The next thing we hear of will be a petition to eut down her sentence, 1 suppose."

Disturbances Were Predicted by Frank A. Perret Twentyâ€"Five Persons Killed in India by Earth Shocks. Messina, Oct, 25.â€"Yestorddy‘s carth whocks felt in the vicinity of Mount Etâ€" ua coincident with the renewed activity of Mount Vesuvius has caused much alâ€" arm here. The fact that such seismic distus banees have been predicted _ by Frank A. Perret, the scientist formerly assistant director of the royal observaâ€" try on Mount Vesuvius, does not lessen the uneasiness Mr. Porret was in this city during the last week of September and at that time pointed out that Sepâ€" tember 20 would be a date most favorâ€" able for earthquakes and volcanic crupâ€" tions for the reason that at that tim* the sun, earth and moon would be in line thus «constituting a combination tending to produce a gravitational disâ€" tortion of the earth‘s form. Mr. Perret added that if nothing out of the ordinâ€" ary occurred, as proved to hbe the case, it would mean that the earth had resistâ€" ed the unusual pressure, but that tolâ€" luric convulsions would very likely be experienced in the latter half of Octoâ€" ber.

Rus sell, the Iima _ promoter, wanted in Canada on the charge of defrauding stockholders in mining deals, told hi« story on the stand toâ€"day in Commisâ€" sioner Waither‘s court, and made a pretty _ strong witness, _ Unless the Canadian officials can break it down there is not much chance that Russell will be extradited, according to attorâ€" neys who are interested in the case on both sides. The contention of Judge Francis 4. Wing, who is representing the Canaâ€" dian authorities, that certain mining reports _ signed _ "Michael MacDonald" were never written by MacDonald, beâ€" cause there was no such person, was described by Russell as ridiculons. If Russell can prove that MacDonald did sign the report he will practically have broken down the claim of the Ontario Government. Russell said that Law & Company made an agreement . with four men who owned 27 mining claims in the Cobalt and Larder Lake districts of Northern Ontario to develop the proâ€" perties by selling stock. _ When later the map of the properties was examâ€" ined, Russell said he found that only 20 claims had been turned over, _ The claim which was missing, and | which was later made up, he said, proved to be the Gold King, the one slaim of all that was really goldâ€"bearing in a good degree, The â€" statement in a newspaper adâ€" vertisement that the new â€" gold taken from the mines assayed as high as $12000 to the ton was shown by Rusâ€" soll to have been made on the basis of an assay made â€" from the samples sent down by this same Machael Maeâ€" Donald. who was employed to | examine the properties. The â€" Canadian law makes it neees sary for a man or firm applying for a mining claim â€" to _ file drawings _ and make an oath indicating the . presence of a certain amount of precious â€" minâ€" cral before being allowed to operate. Law & Co. never filed any such oath lbecause â€"they mever discovered _ any claims, Russell said. Russell said he spent $17.000 of his own money on one miine, which he later went to London to develop Alexander Grant Admits He Was Implicated in Wright Robbery.
