Abstract
"Quivering all over, the results of fear and morphine, the Berryhill girl and an abandoned female companion cowered in the darkened private room of a saloon on Saturday night last. Berryhill had been acquitten of the charge of assault with intent to commit murder on the grounds of self-defese and fearing bodily injury from the woman she had shot she was hiding until the opportunity presented itself for getting away from the town. She is now gone and Yakima is rid, at least for the time being, of another of those foolish girls who can see but the glitter and tinsel of the life of shame and are unable to realize the mental misery, hardships and early death--the result either of the suicide's weapon or disease brought on by dissipation and otherwise controverting nature's laws."
