MUCH DISCUSSION
In Esther . 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

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

A. W. Frater was legal when it
pronounced the Mitchell girl and

Mrs. Creffield is dead, presum

Esther Mitchell will spend the
rest of her life at Stellacoom.
Crow, Dunbar, Hadley and

aud while sustaining Judge Fra-

which this order was made is in
