women have been actually tried before juries for homicide with
the following results:
Convicted of murder in first degree...........0
Acquitted "...................................7
" " murder in second degree...........3
" " manslaughter in first degree.....10
" " manslaughter in seconds degree...10

The percentage of convictions to acquittals is as follows:
Convictions Acquittals Convictions Acquittals
Per Cent Per Cent
1887-1907 ......23........7..........77..........23
It is distinctly interesting to compare this with the table
showing the results of all the homicide trials for the past
eight years irrespective of the sex of the defendants:
