Riehl, leans woman who cooly shot her Hears Stern Verdict lover, George W. Riehl, on cor of Jurors. ner of Carondelet and Common streets, last July. "Guilty without capital pun- The girl fainted when the ver ishment," which means a life diet was read. "Justice, Jus sentence in the penitentiary, ticel There is no justice," she muttered as she passed off into the swoon. "Why didn't they send me to the gallows? I want to die--I am going to die. They swore that if they found me guilty they would hang me. Why didn't they do it? Why didn't they?" Then the girl's limp form was stretched out on a 'bench. A half dozen deputies and a doc tor were grouped about her ap plying smelling salts. She was finally carried away screaming, hysterical, blaming the jury. Switching from insanity to the unwritten law plea, and direct ing his attack m'inly at the crime of George Riehl in making Au gusta Edwards love him, wrong ing her and; then leaving her to her fate Attorney" Harry J. Mooney, for the defense, in the celebrated case, tutn to the un writtea law in an effort to save his client, when Judge Joshua Baker's ourt convened for the last argument:: Hepainted: Augiasta Edwaids as a woman who rightfully had avenged the wrongs she had suf fered at the hands of the man whom she had killed. But all this pleading was in vain for the woman was sentenced to life im prisonment, after six jurors who stood for capital punishment had yielded to the pleadings and rea sonings of the other jurors. This is one of the most nota ble murder cases ever tried in New Orleans. During recent years a few similar cases were tried but the women were par doned, or a mistrial' resulted. The jury's verdict, however, gives another serious blow to the famous unwritten law of Louisiana. The attorneys for the defend ant will apply to the Supreme Court for a rehearing.
