Hazlehurat, Mise., Dec. 12.—In
one of the saddest courtroom scenes
on record In the state, Mrs. Angle
Birdsong was found guilty of man
■laughter for killing Dr. Thomas But
ler, and was recommended by her
Jurors to the mercy of the court.
After the verdict, while the young
defendant sat crying with a young
child In her arms, a deputy approach
ed to take her to Jail.
When he lifted the child from Its
mother's arms the little one sobbed
In fear, "Mamma, don't let him have
me "
Among those whose eyes filled with
team at tbs scene of tbe verdict
was the district attorney whoee eon'
duct of the case secuhed a conviction
where the majority of those Interest
ed looked for either an acquittal or
a mistrial. So sure had Mft. Bird'
tong’s friends been of a favorable
verdict that she was nearly alone in
the courtroom when the Jury entered,
even her husband being among those
absent.
Mrs. Birdsong was not compelled
to remain In Jail but spent the night
under surveillance at a hotel. Her
uncle, United States Senator McLau-
rin, who had left Hazlehurat, was tel
egraphed for to return and make the
motion for a new trial which the de<
felite announced would be done.
The court did not attempt to pass
sentence on Tuesday.
The minimum penalty for■. man'
slaughter lu this state is a flue of
*600.

a member of a leading Mississippi
