Sleeps on the lounge. He has the run
of the house; buys the beer and goes on
errands. After awhile Murphy is re-
moved up stairs and has bed room.
All their habits are about the same.
Murphy has front room and goes and
comes at will. Some time before the
shooting Murphy tries to kiss this
handsome young woman. She is a
mother, has husband and Murphy
She says he protested love and she
promised not to tell her husband.
There's a concealment. There's no
effort to have him leave the house.
There they are together. Opportunity,
use and passion, the familiarity of small
rooms and close contact; the robing,
the disrobing and the woman sometimes
in dishabille. She conceals Murphy's
proteStation of love. The husband sees
Jack coming from his wife'S room in his
night dress. What kind of people are
these. What atmosphere do they live
in that they suddenly become insane.
you doing in my wife's roOm?' He
answers, 'Oh, tickling her with q
straw Huh! nice occupation, isn't it;
a dangerous occupation indeed. The
husband is not satisfied. Then Hegener
asks his wife to take Tony Duroch to
the museum, in order that Murphy may
pander his lust with Mrs. Wettwer.
She was accused, but she didn't become
insane. Oh no, merely
SAYS IT'S A LIE.
The husband and wife, what do they
do? They cOnspire together TO violate
the honor of Mrs. Wettwer'S reputation.
They get Tony Duroch away that MUIR
ply may go to see Mrs. Wettwer. Are
these people entitled to sympathy?
They conspire to ruin Mrs. Wettwer
and plead insanity to make the jury
violate their oaths and give them the
sympathy they are not entitled to by
the eternal God! Is Il woman entitled
to sympathy who will lend herself to-
such foul deed? Is she as chaSte as
Diana; is she as pure as snow? She
takes Tony Duroch to the dime museum
and keeps her there until O'Clock. OF
course the husband must have
told his wife that Jack Murphy
This is a nice God Bless Our Home
isn't it? They want sympathy. Where's
the insanity? You have the facts.
There is no insanity, but vice. bcStial-
ity, lust and crime. Hegener forbids
his wife to go with Mrs. Wettwer be-
cause she was bad kind of woman.
All this time this man they had hired to
commit adultery with Mrs. Wettwer
was boarding at the house and was
Hegener's solid, bosom friend. What
other reason is there that Mrs. Hegener
should have your sympathy? She list
ems as no chaste woman will to Muir
phys stories of her husbands nfamies.
There is no calling up her husband and
asking. How is this, Charlie? You
must either quit this man Murphy OF
come home at night There is no re-
proach of Murphy nor word to her
husband. Is this the woman who in u
moment will become frenZied and wild
at the charge of adultery? Not at all.
1t is a household word with them
and permeates every room i'll
the house. This is the woman
how suddenly becomes insane
because adultery is mentioned. 1t is
perfectly horrible that this woman
should try to excite your sympathy and
poison your reason on the grounds OF
insanity, when these acts are part of
their everyday life. Hegener prom
ises to protect Murphy, when he tells
that Hart Wettwer has been intimate
with his wife. In the home circle they
say they read about adultery in the pa
pers, and discuss a probable line OF ac-
ton in case Mrs. Hegener should prove
unfaithful. What kind of a civilization
have we reached that they expect you
twelve men to put the seal of approval
upon these people? They admit they
shot Murphy. All they want is tempo
rary dethrOnement OF reason. The
demi-mondes don't go crazy when ac-
cused of RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hegener
doesn't go crazy. What higher plane
do they occupy than Jack Murphy?
This confession was made Friday To
Hegener by Murphy. After he
had confessed he said: Jack,
go and get the towels for
the shop" This is after Murphy
had confessed his intimacy with Hege-
ner's wife. You have all of them there,
Wettwers, Murphy, Hegener, etc, and
if that isn't beautiful circle OF d0mes-
tic bliss, honor and happiness, Fannie
Wettwer calls Murphy liar, and
Murphy is struck. They are accusing
others wife, and this man Hegener pro-
tects Murphy with a revolver. They
are dealing in scandal and infamy all
around. Murphy and Hegener go out
together. Wettwer denies h aving been
intimate with Mrs. Hegener. Fannie
calls Murphy liar, and you nave these
two men going out as boon companions
for beer. This is when Thompson is
inside, and takes revolver away from
Mrs Hegener. Hegener admits he gave
his wife revolver to shoot Murphy.
She does not shoot, and yet after that
the husband of this woman goes out and
drinks beer with Jack Murphy. 1t is
degrading picture. only fit for vile
den. These people put themselves up
on the plane of outraged chastity.
They ask you to crown them with
wreath of chastity and honor. ThOmp
son testifies that he hid Mrs. Hegener's
revolver. Lizzie Hegener, too, was in
YOlved. She was coming out of rail-
road mans room in the morning, and
said she was there to build fire, and il
was the month of April. Lucky dog of
a railroad man. All these, except old
man Hegener, were
MIXED UP IN ADULTERY
or licentiousness. Hegener says TO
Murphy: Now, say it before my wife
that you have been intimate with her.
Yes. have says Murphy, bold, ,brazen
and bad. The husband does not resent
that wrong, though he could have done
so. There they are, cOlOred people and
whites, all mixed up there together. III
that is not a scene that the curtain
should drop on, don't know what is.
Mrs. Wettwer, who didn't know the
date of the day she was testify
ing on, remembered the 4th Of
April. She says Mrs. HcSener
eyes were CLASSY and her face was pale.
Well, great God! Is there no let-up to
the iron nerve and deprayity of these
people. Is there never any excite
ment? Mr.. and Mrs. Hegener remem-
Der everything except when Bertha con-
fronted Murphy. 1t is foolish to sup
pose that Murphy concOcted all these
schemes. He could not have been very
well educated to be engaged in cleaning
out barber shop, lathering people and
picking up scraps-a very intellectual
occupation! He never originated those
stories and had not the devilish cunning
to concoct those schemes. We have no
