Pathetic Circumstances.
Sioux City, Iowa, Feb 25 -- Mrs. Geo. A. Blood, who is charged
with murdering her husband last fall was acquitted at Orange City
late this afternoon on the prosecutions motion. Physicians from the
state originally pronounced her sane but subsequently admitted her
suffering from paretic dementia and that she was irresponsible when
she killed Blood. The latter was shot from behind as he was
breakfasting. He was a prosperous resident of Hull but illtreated
his family. The immediate cause of the tragedy was his declaration
that his oldest daughter must leave home and earn her own living.
Mrs. Blood is critically ill.
