Widow Must Face Jury In Lyons, N. Y., on Charge of Shooting Husband After Quarrel She Declares He Committed Suicide. "With tho execution ot Mrs. Mary Fnrmor Inst week fresh In the mind of every one, the case of Mrs. Georgia IS. Sampson, accused of shooting to death her husband, Harry Sampson, on Nov. 1, 1008, was called for trial at Lyons, N. Y., Monday. It Is expected that the procuring of a Jury to lienr the evidence fqr and against tho young woman will con sume much time. Almost every one In Wayne, county Is acquainted with ei ther tho Sampson family or with tho Allyn family, to which Mrs. Sampson belongs hy birth. The prominenco of the two families Harry Sampson's un cle was the late Hear Admiral William T. Sampson, who commanded the fleet at Santiago, while tho Allyns nr'o among the wealthy folks of this part of the Etate has made tho alleged murder the principal topic of conver sation around the hearths of tho coun ty all through the winter, It will be difficult to find twelve men willing to wear that they have formed no opin ion as to the guilt or Innocence of the accused woman. District Attorney Gilbert Is Mrs. Sampson's cousin. Intense Interest in the case extends teyond the limits of the county. The papers of Rochester, which lies in Monroe, the next county to the west, fcavo made special arrangements to cover the trial. The courtroom con tains a large number of press ropre- Mnt'atlveB from Rochester, Buffalo and ether cities. In the courtroom today Mrs. Samp son preserved the somo nonchalant de meanor that has marked her since her arrest, She has declared that her law yers will prove that Harry Sampson committed suicide after a quarrel with her, despite the damaging testimony that will be adduced against her. Jus tice Adelbert P. Rich of Auburn pre sides nt the trial. The shooting ot Harry Sampson oc curred at Macedon, a vlllago ubout eighteen miles west of here. He was twenty-seven years old and had been arrled to Georgia Allyn six years. She Is now only twenty-three. The young couple lived' In a house occu pied partly by the family of the wife's parents. Probably it would be more correct to say that the Sampsons lived with the Allyns. The shooting took place in the Allyns' dining room, and the youug man died in a living room used by the two families. Held Food In Hand as He Died. The young couple were happy for several years after their marriage. Then, according to the stories told agalnBt the wife, she commenced to pay mysterious visits to Rochester ana' was seen In the gay resorts of that place. The fatal quarrel with her hus band followed tho receipt by him of a letter addressed to "Miss Allyn." She declares thnt he killed himself In a fit of Jealousy, but her lawyers will have to explain away several strange circumstances. Mrs. Allyn, Georgia's mother, will testify that when her son-in-law fell nt her feet, with blood flow ing from n mortal wound In the brcabt inflicted by his own rifle, his right hand held a bit of bread and cheese. After the shooting the rifle was found standing In a corner of the room which saw the tragedy, and medical men will declare on the witness stand that the bullet which kllleld young Sampson ranged downward, as though flred from the stairs down which his wife ran after the report was heard. There was no powder marks on his clothing. Georgia Sampson was Indicted on Feb. 8, the grand Jury cnarglng her with murder in the first degree. On the following day George Sampson, father of the man whom sue Is ac caused of killing dlea suddenly of Drlght's disease. It Is asserted that grief over the shooting hastened his death.
