Mrs. David Lillie, under life sen
tence for killing her husband,, is still
confined in the Butler county court
house at David City under guard. In
fcomo cases prisoners are taken to tho
tohlientiary immediately after con
TOStibn, but in, this case, out of defer-
tnce to the sex of the prisoner, sho
will be kept in Butler county until
the issue Is finally determined in tho
supremo court. Should tho court re
mand tho caso for a new trial she will
probably bo released on ball. If tho
conviction is affirmed she will bo
taken to the penitentiary to begin her
life sentence. Another trial would
probably be hold In some other coun
' ty, since one of the allegations made
' by the defense was that local proju-
dice against tho prisoner made it im
- possible to secure a fair trial lu But
