COMING TO A CLOSE.
The Trial That is to Determine Mrs.
Lizzie Dimick's Fate.
1he Evidence all In This Morning and
the Argum ents Commenced--A Ver-
diet or. AGO Initial Hoped For.

Yesterday Afternoons session in the
Dimick trial was a very interesting one.
The line Of defense as detailed in the
opening statement was followed in the
evidence introduced, the theory as be-
fore stated. being that the defendant
went to the slide" for lawful purpose
to rescue her husband-and the shoot,
ing was the result of an accident.
10 the examination two features were
prominently broLght out-the one to de
ny the peoples evidence that the shot was
bred at distance from the deceased, aud
the other. the dying declarations Of Mr..
Dimick detail ing the circum stances Of the
shooting an6 generating the defendant
from all blame. Upon this latter point
much argument was made to the court in
the absence of the jury. Mr.. Sturgeon
claiming that the declarations were not
admissible. because at the time they were
made, Lutte was informed that there was
no danger OF immediate death, and also
because, If living, he would not be a com
petent witness for or against his wife
The court oyerruled the states attorney
upon both propositions and admitted the
declarations so far as the same were
statements If facts and not conclusions,
such as, that sit was not his wife's
fault" ''she was not to blame" etc.
Much interest was manifested in the
trial, not only by the defendants imme-
date family and friends. but by the pub.
lie generally, and sympathy seems to be
strongly in favor of Mrs. Dimick and the
hope is expressed on all sides that she be
acquitted.
The defendant was the first witness
called, as stated in last nights ARGUS
Whatever may have been her anguish of
mind-and she must suffer terribly-she
was to all outward appearances calm and
collected, and gave her evidence in low
but firm tone. She said she was twenty
nine years of age; had been married six
years last December; that Lutte was TWEEN
ty-six, and was not twenty one when
they were married; that their relations
were pleasant and affectionate until
other parte rs came between them: that
one, Maud Terry. led her husband astrsy,
and through her influence he went suc-
cessively to Omaha. Kansas City. Spring.
field. Council Bluffs and other places, and
kept company with her; that he repented
and returned to his home. but she would
follow him up and entice him away; that
finally he came again to Rock Island, and
for awhile everything about their home
life was IS it should be, but in a few
months Maud appeared upon the scene
and Lutte began following her; that wit
ness called upon Maud at the slide" and
er to let her husband alone, TO
which Maud replied that she wasn't en-.
ticing her husband, and for the witness to
keep Lutte away from her.

NIGHT OF THE TRAGEDY

she went ID the circus in company with
Harry Brady. Her husband, who was to
go with her said, that he had to take
man ont in q rig; that on returning she
saw what she supposed TO be Lute's horse
hitched in front of the "toboggap;" went
to the barn; enquired if the horse and
Lutte were gone; found that they were;
went up stairs, got her pistol, intending
to go down TO the house to rescue
her husband from his charmer,
Maud Terry, and knowing the character
of the woman thought it best to have
revolver for her protection. Upon srriv-
ing at the house she listened and heard
Lute's voice, rushed into the room by the
window, IS she supposed the door to be
locked. al d rushed UP to the girl, Alice
Cook, as she thinks, behind the bar aud
told her that she was the woman that was
leading her husband sstray, pointing the
revolver 1T her; that Lutte grabbed hold
of her arm and got the revolver from her
and after he got it it went of and Lutte
said, my God Lizzie | am shot," he
dropped he pistol on the floor and one
of the girls threw it in the alley; witness
then went to Lutte and they went home
together in the buggy. On the way home
she noticed his shirt was burning; she
took her dress and rubbed the shirt with
it and put the fire out.
The Gloss examination was directed
mainly To the point that the witness was
jealous az her husband; that their mari
tai relations were unpleasant and upon
the night in question was angry at him
and went there for the purpose of shoot
ing her husband or his enticer, which
witness also denied: also that she was so
much excited that she did not know what
she was doing which she partially sd,
mitted, but in the main no new facts
were brought out by Mr.. Sturgeon from
/ her.
| DR.. Calvin Truesdale was the next
witness He testified that he was the
family physician of Mr.. Dimick and knew
to some extent their relations, and as far
as he observed they were friendly and

timony as to attending the deceased and
