ONLY TWO DATS MORE
Of the License Court Grind Ahead of
the Judges for This Tear.
THE JAGS THAT COME IN JUGS
One of the Main Features of the
Hearincs of Yesterday.
Sixtj
A BEEWEE HAS QUITE A LIVELY TIME
Only 60 wholesale applications -were
heard yesterday in License Court Sight
who were on the list withdrew. On Mon
day the court will go through Stowe town
ship, and on Tuesday morning will finish
the list Tuesday afternoon. Judge Ewing
said yesterday, it is hoped to hear argu
ments by attorneys on the law point whether
a person or firm holding a brewing or whole
sale license can be granted also a license to
bottle.
One brewer received a lively reprimand
yesterday afternoon. A petition for are
hearing in an Allegheny retail case was
positively refused.
The first thing in the morning the court
heard the wholesatej application of Peter
Schmitt, of the Second ward of Homestead,
who was passed on Thursday. He is now
licensed, and has done a business of 40,000,
chiefly in beer. He confessed that he had
sold in half-gallon jugs.
Of the Mansfield borough applicants,
John Cunningham and Patrick Hewell are
cx-saloon keepers. Charles Hallman is a
carpenter who was naturalized only three
months ago.
JUST HALF A DOZEN.
Millvale has six wholesale applicants,
John Bennett and Patrick Herron having
withdrawn. Michael Enz andC. Bauerlein
are brewers and will be relicensed. A.
Schneiderlochner kept a wholesale store in
18S4, but sold in pints. L. Einstein, a
clothing dealer, of Allegheny, is a brother
to Joseph Einstein, the bottler. Henry
Hoehl, Sr., has been running a small ale
brewery, but finds that it does not pay him
and desires a general wholesale license.
XicholasPail is a mill man, who said that
he had $3,5C0 in his house.
McKeesport was then taken up. Sixteen
applicants presented themselves, among
them being the Keystone Brewing Company,
the Iron Citv Brewing Company and Pier&
Dannals. AVilliam Hetterich, Frank G.
Bergman and Mrs. Sarah Savage had kept
saloons under the old law, and confessed
they had violated the law as all others did.
Mrs. Savage is the sister of Luke Lynch, the
saloon keeper who will have to close up next
"Wednesday night "William "W. Bowers is
a young bartender, who was formerly em
ployed at Tcny Newell's, in this
city. Frank X. Boyle is a one-armed
man who has been employed as a caller in
.one rolling mill. William H. Buckley is
the McKeesport collector for Spencer &
' Liddell, and desires to handle only malt
liquors. Bernard Marx, John H. Maloy
and "William A. McElhinnay are bar
tenders at present.
WHAT HE HAS MADE.
Abraham J. Sunstein has a wholesale
license and has done a business of about
$3,000 a month. H. Schwartz is an orthodox
Hebrew, who took the oath with his hat on.
L. C. Willard expects to embark in the
distiller's trade. L. "Wigand has been a
bottler during the past year, but, finding
the profits therein to be rather small, he
asks for a wholesale license.
In the Second ward three men applied.
Frank H. Busch, H. D. Erenbnrgh and
Thomas Moore. The last named is the dis
tiller. Judge Ewing said to him:
"Can you get 'Possum Hollow whisky in
McKeesport?"
".Not quite," answered the applicant
"What has becomeof the 'Possum Hollow
distillery?"
"This is it I have moved it down."
"You didn't move 'Possum Hollow,
though?"
"No, sir; but I make good whisky. If
you think you would like to try a little of
it, just give me an order.
There were eight applicants from Mc
port's Third ward, only two of whom seem
to have a chance for license. Jacob P. Kill
has had a wholesale license right along,
and sells beer on commission for Eoerhardt
& Ober. David Hardy, Jr., is in the ice
business, and has ample capital for the
wholesale liqnor business. Prior to 1888 he
kept a saloon.
ALL EX-SALOON KEEPEES.
James Crosby, George P. Beech. John
Connolly, Andrew Fischer and Konrad
Housman are all ex-saloon keepers with
records regarded more or less shady.
Against Cornelius Toomey, a grocer, who
used to sell liquor, there is a strong re
monstrance. Only three applicants appeared from
Sharpsburg, Jacob J. Lutzand Patrick Mc
Bride withdrawing. The latter said that he
knew he could not make money if he should
do an honest wholesale business. Frank
Huckestein is now licensed. The objection
to Louis Laeng was that he desired to open
In a purely residence neighborhood. Xich
olaus Schmidtchen kept a saloon before the
Brooks law swept down upon him, and his
record was not entirely clear.
Frederick Franz, who applies for Spring
Garden borough, drives a beer wagon for
the Keystone Brewing Company. Charles
E. Schriner, from this borough, did not an
swer. There were three Verona applicants. The
same objection is made to them as is made
to the retailers for that borough, that the
district inherits prohibition Irom Penn
township. The question will be argued next
Tuesday or "Wednesday. Charles Lehner,
Alexander Maeder and Charles Silverman
all kept saloons prior to 1888. This finished
the wholesale applicants for the boroughs.
EECOKDS OP VABIOUS KINDS.
In Baldwin township Peter Bernarding
Paul Scandroli and William "Wolff are ex
saloon keepers with the usual records, suffi
cient, under the statutes, to justify refusal.
Adam J. Englert has ample means and a
clear record, but his brother used to keep a
saloon which Judge Ewing thought decid
edly off color. There was nothing special
in the case of Gnstav John, except that he
has been naturalized in 1888. Valentine
Bindfusz was told by the court that the
neighbors thought that his house might be
a speak-easy. Valentine filed a denial.
Chartiers township presented only three
applicants, as Michael Crowley did not
answer the roll call. Jacob Geisler wishes
to keep near the city line at a place called
Dogtown, and Chris Kohl ran against a
strong remonstrance. Their chances are
exceedingly slim.
Henry Schmelz, the old brewer, was re
fused by Judge "White, and said that his
being compelled to close up overtwo months
badly demoralized his trade. He had to
begin all over again. To him Judge Ew
ing said: "I will give Mr. Schmelz a li
cense, if Judge Mngee does not object, but
I have no doubt that he was properly re
fused in 1889. I am well satisfied that yon
take orders wherever you can. I
do not intend to interfere with
the past, but you have not conducted your
business properly. You sell habitually to
people who cannot pay their grocery fills,
who beat their wives and children, and to
men who are habitual drunkards. Yon must
do better. I am told you make good beer,
which is very much in your favor."
a veteran's appeal.
In Collier township there are two appli
cants who aie brothers, Patrick and James
McGrogan. James served in Colonel Sam
Black's regiment, the 8ixty-seventh Penn
sylvania, and left a leg at Mnlvern Hill,
Va, John Storch is the son of a distiller in
Germany, and works for the Iron City
Brewing Company. John O'JJiley, for a
surprise, said that he was a total abstainer.
Baptiste Teyssier, Louis "Weinman and
Edward "Webster, all at Tom's Bun, are ex
saloon keepers.
The heariugk being over, Attorney S. B.
Schoyer asked leave to file a petition for a
reconsideration of the retail application of
Louis Keiflen, of Tageart street, Second
ward, Allegheny. Judge Ewing said that
the petition would not be entertained. Mr.
Schoyer reminded Judge Ewing that the
Court had found no fault with Mr. Keiflen,
butobjected only to his location, it -being
close to the power house of the Pleasant
Valley line. He said that a wholesale
license had been granted for a house next
door to the power honse, and that saloons
had been planted near traction headquar
ters in other parts of the two cities. Mr.
Scuover said: "I thought that, in this case,
you did not intend to refuse." "Oh, you
are very kind," said Judge Ewing, "but wo
did intend to refuse. 'We will make no
changes unless we should become satisfied
ourselves that we had made a wrong distribution."
BK0KE THEIR BOATS LOOSE.
A Suit for 55,400 Damages on Trial Before
Judge Achcson.
An argument in an admiralty case was
heard before Judge Acheson in the United
States District Court yesterday. The suit was
that of Keel & Barr against Blythe & Co.
In July, 1887, some coalboats belonging to
Blythe & Co. were torn loose from their
moorings by high water, and coming down
the river struck against boats belonging to
Keel & Barr, breaking them loose also.
Keel & Barr claim that the boats of
Blythe & Co. were not properly secured,
and sue for $5,400 damages. The plaintiffs
are represented by Knox & Beed and D. T.
"Watson, and the defendants by D. F. Pat
terson. The Court took the papers and re
served its decision.
AFTEE SOME ASSETS.
An Ejectment Suit Brought by Creditors of
George C. Itoll.
The suit of A. M. Marshall & Co. against
George C. Boll and wife is on trial before
Judge "White. The case is an action in
ejectment to have property on Forbes street
held by Mrs. Boll declared toi)e the prop
erty of the husband. The plaintiffs and
others are creditors of Eoll, who was a
grocer and tailed, and claim that he deeded

A LIVELY CHURCH
Will Do What It Can to Eelieve the
City's Lonesomeness.
MAKI MINISTERS RESIGNING,
But Have They All the True Spirit of Chris
tian Resignation?
S0TS OF INTEEEST IN CHURCH WORK
Speaking of what churches ought to do
and what good they might accomplish Bey.
Dr. E. E. Hale says: It is not clear to any
body who understands city life that a
church of wide-awake people, though there
were not more of them than there were
apostles, can meet as no other body can tho
very worst difficulties of city life? Take
the deadly loneliness of life there. If it
were understood, as a matter of course, that
the parlors of a church were always open
every evening to anybody who wanted to
have some companionship, in the hours be
tween 6 o'clock and midnight, would not
that understanding alone relieve very
largely this loneliness? I should like to
see a church which had "a light in the
window," such as such an arrangement
would offer. I do not mean that there
should be a committee of people waiting to be
"sociable" with anyDody that happened along.
But I mean that all the neighborhood should
understand that there was warmth, light and a
welcome. Yon might have a class in political
economy going on; you might have a class In
botany; yon misrht have a class on the second
chapter of the Second Epistle to the Thessa
lonians; you might have a sewing society pro
vided for the Micronesian Islands; you might
be occupying yourself in your lighted parlor as
you please; but there the light and company
should be. There should be outside a sign
bidding welcome, and anybody who chose,
thougn he were the veriest waif or stray just
landed on the pier, mlgut come in there. I should
say that suchahacn of rest as this would,
in the first place, solve a good many, difflcul
ties;of city life much more simply than they
are solved, even by the best arrangements of
municipal police. Bat this is of comparatirelv
little importance. What I should do it for. If I
had force enough, wonld bo to give the people
who know anything about that church the feel
ing thai .he church is a home. Nobody can
travel so far as to be outside of its arms. It
represents welcome, companionship and sym
pathy. It represents "together.'' That is
what it is for.
Noneofourbnslnessl on. then, themnslel
On with the feasting, though hearts break for

Somebody's huniry. somebody's freezing.
Somebody's soul will be lost ere the morn,
Somebody's dying On with the dancing!
One for earth's notta?e Is selling his soul:
One for a bauble has bartered his birthright,
Selling his all for a pitiful dole.
Ah, but One goeth abroad on the mountains,
Over lone deserts, with burning deep sands,
Seeking the lost ones It Is his business
Bruised though his feet are, and torn though his

Speaking of "what shall we do with old
ministers," Rev. Jay Benson Hamilton, of the
New York M. E. Conference, said: "With lit
tle or no savings, burdened with the infirmity
of years, which make him unacceptable as a
minister, he is turned adrift to support him
self. His scanty earnings are augmentodbya
gift so beggarly as to insult his manhood. It is
doled out to him as a charity wjth such offensive
parade that none but thoso who are reduced to
absolute poverty are willing to accept it. If
the secrets of the committee which apportions
the support of the conference claimants could
bo published It would bo a humiliation as
shameful as deserved."
The American Sunday School Union has

At a meeting of tho friends of Rov. Dr.
Cuyler on Thursday evening, which was at
tended by many noted men, a purse containing
30,000 was presented to the retiring pastor,
who said: "I have a great lump in my throat
that makes articulation difficult, and the hour
is late. I have had along and supremely happy
pastorate In this glorious'church. This princely
offering I accept, beloved, not merely as a tes
timony of your affection, but a cift that may
relieve the last years of my life from the cor
rosions of care. 1 thank you for this sweet act
of kindness. Who am I that I should be loaded
down with vanity? Wheh I think how mis
sionaries wear their lives out without an echo
of popular applause, no provision for old age,
when I think of Him who had not where to
lay His head, I am ready to sink into the dust.
' I do notpiopose to cease preaching.
THIS isn't a lareweii. not a pit oi it."
The Christian Advocate, in its current issue.
says: "The sentiment in favor of the revision
of the creed is stronger in the Presbyterian
Church than had generally been supposed.
Even some Pennsylvania Presbyteries have
voted in Its favor. The Independent has been
giving special attention to the subject, and
taking pains to keep its readers informed as to
the progress of tho vote. We gather the fol
lowing facts from its last issue: There are in
that chnrcb, including its mission fieUs, 212
Presbyteries. Of these 122 have voted on tbo
question, and four have either failed or refused
to act. Of these 82 favor revision. The Pres
byteries reported represent 3.742 ministers out
of a total of 5,836. and 615,491 communicants
out of a total of 753,749. They therefore repre
sent a majority of the ministers and members
of the church. From these figures it would
seem certain that the demand for revision will
carry by a majority of almost, if not quite,
two to one. There will devolve 'Upon the Gen
eral Assembly the duty of making the revision
asked for. That it will be made in a conserva
tive manner no one doubts."
The statistics of Monongahela Presbytery,

THE LABOR OUTLOOK OMINODS
And the Comparative Number of Strikes
Largely Increased.
TRADE A'ETEKTHELESS IS TEfil PAIR
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DI8PATCII.1
New York, April 24. Special tele
grams to Sradstreet's indicate,except in the
lower Mississippi V alley, that there has
been a widespread improvement in the dis
tribution of general merchandise. This has
been aided by nearly a fortnight of season
able weather. Jobbing is fairly active in
drygoods, groceries, hardware and boots and
shoes throughout the East, thecentral West,
Southwest, West and Korthwest, and is
backed by an increase In the retail and re
assortment demand. Interior roads are in
better condition than they have been for a
long time and mercantile collections at sev
eral western centers are reported to be easier
for the first time in some months.
Special returns from Louisiana report
that the Mississippi river levees are broken
in 30 places in that State; that fully one
fifth of the sugar and rice lands are, or will
be, inundated; that the country trade is cut
off and public sentiment is demanding a
National instead of a State system of levees.
On the Pacific coast the San Joaquin Valley
wheat crop promises to equal the average
output there, but in the Sacramento Valley
it promises to be short.
Til E INDUSTEIAL SITUATION OMINOUS.
There is only one disengaged wheat ship
on the Pacific coast Lumber remains ac
tive and higher at Boston, Kansas City and
St. Louis, although labor troubles else
where are having some effect. The New
York stock market is active and excited on
the increasing prospects of silver legisla
tion. Tho industrial situation grows more
threatening as the first of May approaches.
At Chicago 20.000 packing-house emploves,
in addition to harness makers, clothing
workers, gasfitters, stairbuilders and other
trades, threaten to strike, in addition to the
25,000 already on strike for an eight-hour
day. There nave been 126 strikes, involv
ing 28,233 employes thu3 far in April,
against 61 strikes, involving 12,193 em
ployes in April last year. Since January
1 there have been 303 strikes, involving
66,143 employes, against only 221 strikes,
involving 48,924 emploves in the first four
months of 1889.
EXPOBTS rNCEEASING.
Exports of merchandise in March aggre
gated S72.607.481 and imports 867,154,493,
showing gains over last year of respectively
5 and 1 per cent. For three months the
exports ageregated 218,296,456 and imports
5193,634,727, a gain in exports over last
year of 7.per cent and a decline in imports
of 1J percent.
Wool, it is worth noting, has been in
fairly active request for the first time in a
year or more, manufactnrers actually buy
ingYor fnture requirements, but prices are
as yet no higher. Drygoods Demand is
fair. Staple cottons are firm and print
cloths, bleached sheetings and denims are
higher in price, while other makes tend
higher. Cutting of prices by jobbers is
noted. Men's wear woolen goods are quiet,
while dress goods for fall wear aro in better
demand. Eaw cotton is l-16c higher
on good demand and a light crop move
ment. Sugar has not varied much in price or
demand, but coffee has continued its move
ment of last week, with another drop of
2-5c. Pork in speculative lines has
been pushed up another 25c per barrel, but
lard futures have reacted fully Jc. Trad
ing in hog products has been only moder
ately active.
Wheat, with free exports, fair speculative
demand, and short crop and low stock .re
ports, continues firm, and lli higher.
Indian corn, however, has been in less active
demand, and with free shipments isoff23e,
while oats have reversed the usual order and
advanced Ji2ic.
IKON ORDERS FREER.
There have been freer orders for iron this
week, and cut prices at the South have been
less frequent. Exports of wheat (and flour
as wheat) from both coasts this week equal
2,259,530 bushels, against 1,504,975 bushels
in the like week of 1889 and 2446,646
bushels last week. The total exported from
July 1 to date is 87,705,570 bushels, against
73,791,095 bushels in a like share of 1888-89.
The decrease in available stocks of wheat
east of the Eocky Mountains last week ex
ceeds the record, amounting to nearly3,200,
000 bushels, against a weekly average for
the calendar year of only 1,300,000 bushels.
The decrease in .stocks of Indian corn was
also heavy.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet'i
number 174 in the United States this week,
against 166 last week and 181 this week last
year. Canada had 38 this week, against 29
last week. The total number of failures in
the United States from January 1 to date is
4,005, against 4,245 in a like portion oi 1889.
DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT.
E. G. Dun's weekly report says: The
markets are all influenced by the prospect
of an increase in currency based on silver.
Silver has advanced abont 2 cents per
ounce, wheat 2. cents per bushel, oats 3
cents, conee ana on y2 cent eacn, cotton l-to
cent, pork 25 cents per barrel, and stocks
bave been stronger. The average of prices
for all commodities rose over 1 per cent
from the 16th to the 22d, put has since de
clined about half as much.
Trade reports this week are favorable, ex
cepting from the region affected by the
almost unprecedented floods in the Missis
sippi Valley. Three of thetrunk lines are
interrupted, and their losses will be consid
erable. At Galveston trade is dull through
too mnch rain. Heal estate is very active
because of the prospect of harbor improve
ment In Florida business is very dull
and no encouraging signs are perceived.
But at all Northern centers of trade the
situation is very satisfactory; the volume of
business is large, and collections are fairly
prompt. While the money market is every
where fairly supplied, the demand at most
points is but moderate.
A FAIR OUTLOOK.
At Boston fair weather has stimulated all
trade; at Chicago the increase in business
extends to nearly all branches; at St. Louis
distribution is fairly active, and the north
western cities are all rejoicing in excellent
crop prospects. The iron and coal cities,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, make less en
couraging reports, but there also other
branches of trade are fairly active.
The iron business is more hopeful in tone
at Philadelphia, but at Pittsburg the de
cline in prices continues, and at New York
Southern iron of the lower grades is still
pressed for sale, with none offered, at $17.
Steel rails are weaker, and $33 is quoted,
but bar iron is more active, though irregu
lar, and the demand for plates and struc
tural iron is better. Statistics showing that
the accumulation of coal in first hands has
been reduced since March 1 have a helpful
influence.
No improvement is seen in the woolen
manufacture and dearer cotton does not help
the mills.
GRAIN EXPORTS LARGE.
The exportsof grain continue large, not
withstanding the advance in prices and furn
ish the only reasonable excuse lor that ad
vance. In any event a large surplus of
wheat will remain on hand July 1. Cotton
receipts and exports are both falling far be
hind last year. No reason is perceived, be
yond speculative activity, for the advance
in pork or in oats, but the belief that the
currency will be greatly expanded tends
jnst now to render all prices somewhat ficti
tious. The minor metals- are steady, with
more demand for lead at 3.95 cents, and tin
a shade higher,
The leather market has shown some specu
lative activity, and while boots and shoes
are as low in price as they were a year ago,
and profits are very narrow, dealings are
large and the spring trade holds out re
markable. MONET COMING IN.
The Treasury has taken in during the past
week 1,900,000 more than it has paid out.
The impression prevails that foreign capital
is moving in this direction again, and that
purchases of securities on foreign account
exceed sales. The exports from New York
for three, weeks have been 21 per cent below
those of the same weeks last year, though
imports here show an increase of 23 percent.
These figures indicate a heavy excess of im
port over exports for the month, bnt there
are no present symptoms of an outgo.
Business failures throughout the country
during the past seven days number 218, as
compared with a total of 214 last week. For
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 213.
PREACHERS IMPOSED UPON.
An Impecnnloas Couple Rench tbo End of
Tlelr String at Last They Try to Go lo
HoasekeeplcE Jnst Once Too Often. .,
The jolly "sons of rest" have been having
a right good time during the past winter.
In fact the tramps bave found life so easy
that they have had time to lie down and
think up new dodges for escaping that hor
rid nightmare, work. In consequence,
many new schemes have been sprung
on the gullible public. The
latest one was brought to light
the other day by William McMahony, of
the Home Hotel, when a man named Albert
Price was caught up on it. His sin was
that he worked his game too long in one
place. He has been in hard luck, and
feared that he wonld have to be driven to
the extremity of degrading himseli bvwork,
when a bright plan struck him, and he took
a woman into the combination.
The man was clad a3 a laborer, while the
woman was a rather good-looking brunette,
of about 30 winters. They first visited min
isters, telling a story that they had a prom
ise of work, and that they had just come to
the city. They were going to housekeeping,
but their goods had notarrived, or they did
not nave money enough to have them hauled
to their flew home. The man would say he
was promised work, and just wanted enough
to keep them alive for a few days.
Many prominent ministers were visited,
and nearly of them yielded to the man's
appeals or the woman's tears. About the
middle of March thev visited the EeV. Dr.
White, rector of St. Andrew's Church.
They told their story, and wanted enough
to keep them over Sunday. The good
hearted rector opened his pocketbook, hut
did not have enough money with him. He
went to see Mr. McMahon, who said he
would keep the man in the Bethel Home,
and they made arrangements for the woman
to go to the Home for Destitute Women, on
Penn avenue.
When the pair were told about the ar
rangement, they became indignant at the
idea of anyone wanting to separate them,
and left. A little later, on March 27, they
again appeared at the Home Hotel, with an
order from Mr. James B. Scoot, asking that
they be given meals for several days until
they could get to housekeeping. On the
second day they had raised some money, and
when they came in they had quite a "jag"
with them, and tbev were requested to leave
the hotel. Later they struck another piece
of lucK, and another "jag." They again
called on Mr. McMahon with a
letter from the Eev. David S
Kennedy, of the First Presbyterian
Church, Allegheny. He asked that they be
given boarding until Monday. The woman
was so drunk that she could hardly talk,
and the note was returned to Dr. Kennedy.
The reverend gentleman then began to make
inquiries about the man, who was "jnst go
ing to housekeeping," and learned that he
had been getting ready to set up his house
hold goods ever since New Years, and that
nearly all of the ministers had paid to get
that furniture moved.
SO SITE IET CHOSEN
By tho Woman's TJ. P. Association for the
Aged People's Home.
The regular meeting of the Woman's
United Presbyterian Association was held
yesterday in the Third TJ. P. Chnrch, Alle
gheny. The committee on resolutions re
ported that an appropriate letter of thanks
had been sent to Mr, and Mrs. Alexander
Henry, for their generous donation
of a piece of property on Buena
Vista street, Allegheny. The report of
the Corresponding Secretary showed that ten
children had been received at the Orphans'
Home during the last month, and that five
were out on trial. The Treasurer's report
showed that the receipts for the last month
were ?203 52, making a balance in the treas
ury of 51,840 33. The report of the Memor
ial Hospital was an encouraging one. Four
children have been received in the last
month, and one extra nurse engaged. The
financial showing was very good. The re
ports were all approved.
The committee on the site for the Aged
People's Home reported that they would not
advise the purchase of the property on
Forty-second street, because the price had
been raised from $25,000 to 530,000. A
special meeting will be called to decide the
location ot the Home, as the committee had
been unable to - meet often enough to do
much. Upon motion, Mrs. W. N. Steven
son was appointed the delegate to represent
the Home, tho Hospital and Aged People's
Home at the North American Missionary
Conference, which is held in Iowa May IS.
The lollowintr managers for the Aged
People's Home were then elected:

Cemetery yesterday afternoon. At 2 o'clock
the funeral services were held at No. 77

Mary Cole had a hearing before Deputy

on a charge of assault and battery preferred
by her stepfather, Tobias Kennedy. The
latter alleges that the defendant'has' repeat
edly assaulted him with broomsticks, fry
ingpans, etc., as well as bitten his hand se
verely. Mary claimed that the provocation
had been very great, and that she had
simply acted in self-defense. She was held
