Denham had blasted her hopes of happiness by coining a cruel lie, whereby she was forever separated from the man she loved, and such a wrong could only be condoned for with the blood of the wretch, The trial of Lizzie took place, but it mently declared that she, and not Ella, had killed Demham; that the girl meant only to shield her from harm, The girl bad said the same words in her letters—namely, Lizzie confessed the murder only to shield Ella, whom shoe Joved better than life, Shue wound up in these words, which decided the jury in their verdict: “f bad a powerful motive for what 1 did.
