A Fallen NVoman's Crime.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-In the Sturla murder trial to-day evidence in rebuttal of the insan- ity theory of the defense was presented by the prosecution. The case is exciting as much local interest as did the trial of Gui, teau at Washington, and despite the intense cold the court room is thronged daily with spectators, largely women of fashion, who are interested in the fate of the fair but fallen representative of their own sex. Dr. J. J. Jewell, editor of the Medical Journal, testi- fed that the defendant at the time of the shooting was medically but not legally in- sane. Dr. Reeves Jackson thought her sane both medically and legally. He said that no evidence yet adduced showed her to be con- trolled by an irresistible impulse to murder the man she had loved for years
