Miss Cairnes, who shot and killed her seducer, McComas, last week at Jarrettsville, Maryland, is still at liberty. Public sentiment is so universally in her favor that the authorities have not demanded her imprisonment, nor asked security. She still remains at her home, perfectly reconciled and ready for any demand the sheriff may make. It is said that no jury could possibly be found to convict her, though she owns to a deliberate intention, long premeditated, if the deceased failed to make reparation by marrying her, of taking his life.
