Court convenes at Orange City next Monday. The topic of interest this term is the trial of Mrs. Blood for killing her husband. Unusual interest is manifested in the outcome by citizens of this community because they are acquainted with all the circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
The plea of the defence will undoubtedly be insanity, as that is naturally the only one that could be made. The attorneys for the defence will endeavor to have the trial come off during the second week of the term. The INDEX will endeavor to give you as full an account of the trial as our time and space will permit. The main witness for the defence will probably be the attending physician, Dr. Owens, who not only waited upon the accused previous to the crime, but whose attentions have been necessary ever since. From what we can learn of the family connections of the accused, it is not at all surprising that she has suffered from mind failure and it is not to be wondered at that her troubles developed it until she lost control of it entirely.
