Iam at it still. t a Mrs. Rovssy, the once beautiful and talented actress, died in London yesterday. She wasa native of Devonshire, and some twelve years ago was found by Tom Taylor, the dramatist, traveling through the provinces with her hus- band in a smail theatrical company. He was struck by her talent and beauty, and persuided her to visit London. He wrote for her specially the play of “’Twixt Ax and Crown” and with I she made a great hit in the metropolis. Afterward he wrote “Joan of Arc” for her. It had an extensive run at the Queen’s Thea- ter. It ‘was during this season that she be- came the theatrical rage of London. ler photographs by the thousand adorned the shop windows everywhere, and the whole town talked of the beautiful and good Mrs. Rousby. A distinguised nobleman came be- tween her and her husband and caused a sep- aration. From that time she declined. Four years ago she visited this country but her tour was a failure artistically and financially. Her moral hold upon the public was lost tn Englund and bad health and dissipation placed her out- side of the dramatic pale. Recently she ap- peared before the public in coanection with a suit for the later as a ntifl against, Manager Ban whom she charged with assault.

Ina short Ume the jury returned into court and the fore- man hatded the clerk the verdict, It read: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder, but recommend hiin to the mercy of the court.” The judge stated that under the verdict he would have to sentence the prisoner to the penitentiary, and ne asked the jury whether such was their intention in finding the verdict. The entire jury spoke up and sald, “No, sir; no, sir.” “Then, gentlemen,” sat the judge. “you can retire and find a verdict which will express your {ntention.” The jury retired, but returned in a few minutes with the following verdict: “We, the jury, find the de- fendant guilty of murder, a3 charged in the indictment.” The judge stated that under that verdict he would have to seatence the prisoner todeath by hanging, and he again asked the jury if they understood their verdict in that sense. The jurors unanimously sald, “Yes, sir; yes, sir.” Thereupon the prisoner, Wm Love, was sentenced by the court to be hanged. [Montgomery Advertiser.
