The prosecution attempted to put in as Mrs.

Bliss "dying statement" the direct charge against her daughter she had made to the attending physician, but the defense objected and It was ruled out. The State also found Itself unable to show that Mrs. Fleming had ever purchased, or possessed, any arsenlo and antimony and after a protracted presentation of evidence and equally long summing-up, the Jury took little time to agree on a verdict of acquittal. The deiendant was mobbed by excited and Jubilant sympathizers and had to be hurried to safety by a wild gallop down Centre street behind a cab horse which broke all records through traffic.
