It Is Alleged by Dsm Itnmor That She
Was Roeponslble for the Death of Her
llnsband and the Attempted 1'otsonlng
of II er DnugtiterluIaw.
TnENTOiT.Auir.0. .Mrs. MattloC Plmnn,
tba Princeton woman who la riccuRtcl of

yearnjld on, to recover about W.tOO, the
amount of three fnturnuce policies mi his
life, which poIlcieH have Wn paid by the
Insurance companies nfter nn lnvatl(?a
tlon. was placed on trial in the county
court here yesterday, before Judge Abbett.
At a crime, ic committed uy ner, tuis
woman atands unparolleled for Atrocity la
the criminal annuls of the state. Itoo
cured at their home In Princeton on the
18th of April lat.
The coroner's innup't. which followed
shortly upon the death of tho young man,
developed the fact that he had been slowly
done to death; that bichloride of mercury
MM. MATTIK SHAKX
had been ued to gradually Bap his vitality;
and that after he was dead and many
tonened rumor began to discuss her part
In the horrible tragedy, the body was dis
emboweled In order that all traces of the
poison used toklll htm might be destroyed.
8o strongly did the circumstances sur
rounding these fearful deeds point to tha
youth's mother as their perpetrator, that
the coroner made a formal accusation of
murder aaatntit her, and she was arrested
and put In jail.
Mrs. bnann's husband, breaeric: bnann,
died last November underpecullar circum
stances, and Princeton people have not
hesitated to express tha belief.that she
robbed htm of his Ufa.
An attempt was made five years ago to
poison her daughter-in-law, Airs. Harry
Bhann, who drank lemonade out of a bowl,
In the bottom of which were afterwards
found traces of pans green. She bad swal
lowed only a little of the water, however,
and soon recovered from the effects. This
crime, too, has been laid at her door by
rumor.
When the entire panel of jurors sum
moned for the term had been examined
the twelfth man was secured, and the Jury
for Mrs. Sbann's trial was completed.
Six are farmers and two salesmen. The
foreman is a barber. A grocer, a black
smith and a retired merchant constitute
the remainder of the list.
