She was overheard in a conversation with Casper Emmert yesterday, in which she said: “Well, there's one thing certain, 1*11 not go to state's prison alone. The bloody chisel was brought before the grand jury and it fitted exactly into the wound which caused Thrush's death. Sensational testimony suggests that others besides Mrs. Thrush and Casper Emmert were accessories In the crime. The bullet which was cut from the ceiling of the murdered man's room weighs only forty grains. A bullet shot from the navy revolver thrown near Thrush's body as a blind would weigh over 100 grains.
