hxHTFORD. Conn., Dec. 21. ? A.
white haired, wrinkled old woman baa

Kate Cobb, convicted ot the murder ot
hor husband, In 1870 and scntonced to

vears old, and was thirty-one when
was sentenced. She has there
fore spent more than half of her life
;n the institution from which she was
inieased. ,
The trial of Mrs. KateCobb and
Wesley Bishop, a chemist, and ne
admirer, of Norwich Conn fox
murder of Charles Cobb her husband.
was the crime sensation of New Ms
'and in its generation. Wesley B1"h?P
nnrt tin wife and Mr. and Mrs. Cobb
had been the most Intimate of friends. |
In 1S77 Mrs. Bishop died of a myR
tcrious illness. She had not long be
fore told her sister that Bishop was
utterly infatuated with Mrs. Cobb, an.l
that she feared they would murder
>ier out of the wa>.
Mrs Cobb Dreiaed the Corpse.
It -was Mrs. Cobb, who protesting
that she had been Mrs. B'shop'8, t?s"
e-t and dearest friend, dressed the
?lead woman for burial. ??men
were eyewitnesses at ? ?
of a startling, gruencme inddfnt.
As Mrs. Cobb lifted Mrs. Bishop, the
hotter to pin a iace collar at the back
of her neck, there had come a sudden
contraction of the tendents ot the
dead woman's right arm that it flew
<ip and the right index finger pointed
derdly at Mrs. Cobb. The women
fled the room, all save Mrs. Cobb who
went on dressing the corpse and toUl
lorn thev werea pack of silly women
in be frightened at a happening due to
perfectly natural causes.
When her own Husband died the
next year, popular clamor arose for
an investigation for the nffatr of Blsh
op and Mrs. Cobb had meanwhile be
come a public scandal.
Cobb Died of Poison
An autopsy revealed that Cobb had
oicd of arsenic poisoning. Mrs Coho
never faltered in her protestations of
li nocence, but Bishop weakened an 1
niade a confession declaring that lie
had furnished the poison and Mrs.
Cobb had administered it to her hus
and, their intention being to marry
when he was out ot the way. Mrs.
Cobb has never admitted hor g^iilt.
She still maintains that If Bishop gave

TWO NOTORIOUS GUN MEN HELD.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.?Twenty-four
hours after the district attorney's of
fice took the search for the murderers
of Uarnet Baff away from the police,
who had spent throe weeks without ac
complishing anything, two indictments
were returned which are believed to be
the entering wedge In the solution of
the mystery about this "second Itosen
thal killing."
Joe and Jake Cohen, brothers, were
indicted on a charge of assaulting A.
J. Plerson, a business associate of Baff,
nearly a year ago. It is generally ad
mitted that this charge lias been made
merely to afford an excuse for holding
the Cohens while the murder inquiry
proceeds. This Is made evident by the
fact that immediately after they were
indicted the two Cohens were arraign
ed and bound over In the prohibitive
ball of $25,000 each.
The Cohens are notorious gunmen.
