Mitchell Case What - Some People Think. r - "It iisther Mitchell is insane now and is so adjudged and sen tenced to the Washington asylum it does not signify that she will remain there for - any length of time. She may improve in a few mouths and be released, and what will be the next chapter in the affair?" . - These were the questions and comments of a Corvallis man, in discussing the case of .Esther Mitchell, this week. w - In fact, the case has aroused much comment . here, where the oung woman is so well known, and the fact bt her being sent to the asylum while causing no sur prise does bring forth an occasion al querry as to the probable Jength of time she will be confined in such an institution. Speaking of the case. Monday's Capital Journal says: Esther Mitchell, the Oregon girl now in the King county iail. charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of her bro ther, George Mitchell, last July, will never be triea for the crime, but wi'l probably end her days in a Washington state asylum. She may not be deported to another state. Four justices of the su preme court of the state have de cided that the act of lunacy com mission called by Superior Judge A. W. Frater was legal when it pronounced the Mitchell girl and her companion in crime. Mrs, Maud-Hurt-Creffield, ' insane. Mrs. Creffield is dead, presum ably by her own hand, and under tie ruling of the supreme' court, Esther Mitchell will spend the rest of her life at Stellacoom. Crow, Dunbar, Hadley and Rudkin are the justice who brought in the majority report aud while sustaining Judge Fra- er in calling the lunacy com mission, they declare that Esther Mitchell may not be sent to Ore gon, holding that the state under which this order was made is in valid, for the reason that it can not be legally enforced. , v briEJMLU. iss urace waiKins is now.em- plovs-d -as saleslady- for- J.-Mv Nolan & Son. :-'r.
