WOMAN GOT LIFE SENTENCE. SIGNOR A MITCHELL WILL GO TO THE PENITENTIAHY FOR LIFE. ItecommeaUatlon of Jary Saved the Keek of the Mardercsa of Jimei Harris—Verdict of Gntlt>- Reached la Half an Hoar After the Jarv'a Retirement From the Coart Room for Deliberation Evidence ot State's Wltneaaea Made Out Clear Caw of Deliberate Marder—James Small Placed on the Stand for the Defense, bat Jary Didn't Believe Him. At 630 o'clock yesterday afternoon Fudge Failigant pronounced sentence in the case of Signora Mitchell, condemning her, in accordance with the verdict of 'he Jury, to imprisonment in the peniten tiary the rest of her life. In this man ner 6he wilt expiate the murder of James Harris. The second murder trial of the week was begun in the Superior Court yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The case was well known to the public. The woman who was charged with the crime was notori ous for her many 111-deeds, the evidence was to eome extent’conflicting, and a hard-fought legal battle was expected. It w(s these facts, doubtless, that drew to the court room the comparatively large number of spectators, who came early and stayed late. The prisoner entered the court room In company with her counsel, Messrs. Shelby Myrlck and Richard M. beater. The interests of the state were represented in the person of Solicitor Gen eral W. W. Osborne. Jhe important witnesses for the state were Dan Glover. Gus Thompson and Owens Martin, the two lat*r having been in the room with the woman and James Harris when the fatal shots were fired. Coroner Goette was also a witness for the state, but testified merely as 10 the nature of the wound that ha& produced stating that Harris had died from thf affect# of a pistol wound in the siom ach. Still other witnesses joined in the recitation of the facts of the night and eqrl* morning at Signor* Mitchell s house, which led up to the commission of the inagedy. Gus Thompson's story is typical of that of the ether witnesses for the state He said that late Sunday night. May 27, a crowd of negroes foregathered at the house of Signora Mitchell and before a great while had elapsed a of skin was in progress. Thompson. Glover. Mar tin, Smalls. Harris and the woman were among the players. puck went steadily against Harris, said the witness. Again and again he placed his bets and with equal regularity he ,!ot. Possibly he was not in the beet of .humor, for a quarrel arose between him and the woman, which was with diffi culty quieted and the game resumed. The Interlude did not serve to change Harris' luck, for he continued to be ag unfortu nate as he had been from the first. On the ten spot of hearts, which had been turned in a way that contributed much -to bis ill-luck, Harris heaped some of bis displeasure. As he lost one of the bet* he made he picked this card from the deck and stated that if it turned again he would tear it to pieces. Then he shoved his last remaining chip* on the table. Ten of hearts was turned. Harris lost and his anger was again aroused. "It’s a horse deck, anyhow," he said, and tore the in two. “What do you mean by tearing my cards?” asked Signora. "Oh, it's a horse deck. 1 ” repeated Har ris, and with this the woman drew a re volver and attempted to shoot the man qad offended her. The others about the table frustrated this purpose, Harris was hustled Into one room and the woman InW another. Borne of the party stayed with each of the belligerents, represent ing to them how unwise it would be to have a serious quarrel and it was thought that all danger of trouble had been re moved. At last Harris walked to the door of the room in which the woman was at the lime. As his foot the threshold Signora raised her revolver and fired, but Smalls, who was with her. knocked up her hand and the bullet went wide. She flrod" a second and a third shot, and the last one took effect. Harris sank to the ground with a moan of agony and most of the party left the house. Enough re mained to help the wounded man to a bed. where he,!ay until he breathed his last. In the meantime, however. Signora left the house, and the officers arrived and took charge. It appeared that Signora crawled under the adjoining house and lay there until she sunk peacefully to sleep. Her snores attracted the attention of one of the men. he apprised one of the officer® of their probable source, and the woman was pulled out of her hiding place and arrested. She was then brought back into the house and remained there watch ing Harris slowly and painfully expire. Then she was taken to the station house. This, in effect, was the story of Thompson, and that of th other wit nesses for the state served but to empha size some of i|s features and lend the weight of corroborative evidence to oth er#. None of the witnesses for the state saw a knife in the hands of James Har ris, none of them saw him make any ef fort to assgutt the woman, none of them s*w anything done by him that would have justified her in the belief that a serious bodily assault was about to be committed on her. On the contrary the woman had been the aggressor at every stage ot the quarrel that culminated in the homicide. James Smalls was placed on the stand.

He said that the task of getting Si?- liora quiet had been delegated cO him und that he thought he bad been successful. 6otne of the other men were with Harris in another room, while he had Signora irk the room in which she slept. He heard a noise outside the room iloor and Harris appeared with a knife in his hand. As he stepped across the threshold and st.irt.el to advance Signora she tired, but the witness threw ujS her arm and so deflect ed her aim that the bullet spent itself harmlessly in the ceiling. She fired again as Harris continued to advance, and yet again. The third bullet took effect. The defendant was placed on the starwi to make a statement in her own behalf. She corrobereted the story told by Smalls in oil essential particulars, stating that Harris was advancing upon her with a knife or some weapon she believed to be a knife when she tired. When the got out of the way and crawled unver the al* joining house, it had been merely to es cape the anger of any of the friends of Harris who might come up and not to avoid arrest. She had intended, she .said, to give herself up as soon, as the officers arrived and had surrendered willingly when called upon to do so. The evidence had been concluded before 2 o'clock and Judge Falliganr directed a recess until 4 in the afternoon, when the. arguments were made*. In his opening ar gument Solicitor General Osborne con tented himself with a simple statement of the principles of law upon which he would rely. The solicitor general was followed by Messrs. Myrick and Hester, for the de fense, both of whom made strong argu ments. Indeed, counsel for the defendant m?de a hard ftgbt from The beginning to the end of the. case, but question the wit nesses as th y would and argue as they did, they oculd net succeed in convincing the jury that Smalls had told he truth. His story depended too much upon the existence of the knife he swore Harris held when he entered the woman's room, and no knife has been found. Mr. Osborne made the concluding argu ment, summing up the evidence in his usual fine style. He ridiculed the con tentions cf the defendant's attorneys that the knife had ben made way with by some friend of Harris, enforcing: with ar gument. and illustration the weakness of this statement. Judge Falligant concluded his charge to the jury shortly before 6 o'clock and within less than half an hour a verdict of guilty, with the r commendation for punishment by impr sonment in the pen itentiary for life, instead of the gallows, was returned. Sentence was immediately passed by the court. JEALOUS OF THEIR AUTHORITY.

Estlll, chairman; Brantley A. Denmark end Henry Blun of the board, and Superintendent Otis Ashmore. It Is expected that there will be a large attendance of the members of the board at the meeting to-morrow afternoon, when the report will be fully considered and discussed. Should the- report of the com mittee, in which the failure to reach a satisfactory understanding with the trus tees is so fuliy and freely reviewed, and In which the members of the committee metaphorically wash their hands of the matter, be adopted, it is doubtful if any further effort wilt be made to secure e Joint understanding. It is understood, however, that a suggestion, which was made at the meeting yesterday afternoon, will be brought up for consideration, which, if favorably received, may lead to another move on the part of the board to obtain the desired results on slightly dif ferent lines.

STRICKEN INDIA. Efforts Being Made to Relieve the Starving People. Editor of Savannah Morning News- To-day some 60.000,D0T of our fellow-be ings In India are suffering acutely for lack of fdod. Of this number 10.0C0.000 are already face to face with starvation, and not hundreds, but thousands, are dying daily. Government aid, Just enough to main tain life, is being given through the agency of relief works to large numbers. Private aid Is also dolrg much to rel ev these terrible conditions, but still there ought to be, there must be, done, many times over what is already being dene. The famine is one of the most severe and far-reaching of any during the past one hundred years, and the worst is not yet. Were these conditions existing in any part of our own country, thera s scarce ly a man. woman or child who would not rush forward with his or her aid. however small it might be But the mere fact of distance can surely make no dif ference with u* as a people. The fact of this crying need and our knowledge of it, is the call to us for service., each according to his or her ability. There is to-day stored up in Ind a grain sufficient to feed every person, as well as animal, in all the affected districts, but th* people have become so impoverish ed, in great measure through the over taxation of the British government and other causes of a kindred nature, that they haven't evtn the pitiably small means required on the part of each to un lock it. Through the agency of the cable any amounts stnt to the treasurers of the relief funds to-day, can to-morrow be unlocking and distributing the grain among those who but for Its merciful coming would not be alive even on the third day. There are many thousands of people In all parts of our country who would gladly, 1 am confident, contribute their portion, were the matter properly pre sented to them, and a safe channel for their aid brought to their attention May I therefore make the following sugges ti ns to the readers of the Morning New*; During the past few days in Bostoif a committee of one hundred prominent citi zen*. known as the Boston Committee of One Hundred on India Famine Re lief," has been organized to take tn hand the collection of funds from Boston and vicinity. This committee has selected a chairman, a secretary, and a treasurer. It is already circulating Itterature set ting forth the facts In connection with the famine, and putting forth whatever ef forts are required for the speedy collec tion and transmittal to the affected dis tricts of as large a fund as Is possible for it to collect. Through Its agency alone many thousand* of lives will be saved from the pain and agony of slow starva tion. This same plan—and this is my point can be adopted in every city and town in the country, and I trust that i will be adopted in very large numbers. Any per son of known integrity and honesty of purpose who feels moved to turn an ear to the pitiable cry for bread that is at this moment going up from hundreds of thousands of our suffering fellow-beings, in a country which has given to the world some of its most valuable treasures in learning, in music, in science, in art, In thought, in religion, tn life, can be in strumental in putting into operation the above plan in the community in which he or she is living. Special care should be exercised 1n selecting a treasurer to re ceive the. funds—either some well-known individual of unquestionable integrity, or beUer still, perhaps, some well known banking house. An organisation of a similar nature was farmed a few dais earlier in New York City, nnd within twelve days after its formation the sum of 130,900 had been cabled to the starving ones. The secretary of the Boston Commit tee. who con be addressed "Boston Com mittee of One Hundred on India Fanzine Relief,” No. 14 Beacon street, room 204. or the secretafy of the New York Commit tee, who can be addressed "Committee of One Hundred on Famine Relief.” 73 Bible House. New York, will be glad. I am sure, to give suggestions to any who may Interest themselves in organizing a committee in their own city or village, and also to send printed information re garding the existing conditions in the famine stricken districts of India, es also the needs, methods of distribution there, etc., which can be reproduced by the va rious committees through their local press, in letter and leaflet form, etc., as they may deem best. The treasurers of the Boston Commit tee. Messrs. Brown (Bros. A Cos., bankers. 30 State street, Boston, or of the New York Committee, Messrs. Brown Bros. A Cos., bankers, 59 Wall street, will be glad to receive, acknowledge, and forward by cable, any amounts that may be in trusted to them by th# treasurers of any organizations, not so closely In touch with the cable, and the distributing agencies in India, or to receive, acknowledge, end forward in like manner, any sums direct ly from contributor*, where no local com mittee exists. Certainly from this land ef plenty. large sums will go to that land of famine. It is within the power of each one here, to be the means of saving a life or many live* there. Two cents a day will feed one person; two dollars will save life until the coming harvest. Surely upon us ail. even to the extent of noma littie sacrifice if necessary, a deep responsibil ity rests.
