When the foreman announced the verdict His Honor (Mr. Justice Reed) said: “Well, gentlemen, if you can reconcile that with your consciences it’s your business, not mine.” Accused married John Alfred Chaney in 1887. In 1902, not having heard of her husband for nine years, she married Otto Herman Raymond, the defence contending the lapae of years protected accused. Chaney turned up six days after the marriage and died a week later.
