Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture Is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn inodesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has

MRS. ANNIE SEBASTIAN,
who swore that the Millers made tn.
statements which they denied.
Court then adjourned.

When the district court convened at
$50 Saturday morning for the fifth
day of the Sebastian murder trial Coun-
ty Attorney Freeman began the opening
address to the jury.
The defendant sat in the usual place,
against the railing and several feet be-
hind the attorneys. He was, as usual,
twirling in his hands his hat, but more
swiftly than before during the trial.
For the first time during the trial he
removed his eyes from the spot in the
carpet on which they had been steadily
focused, and would oven fix them for
some time on spectator.
Soon his mother entered and took a
seat beside him. She claeped one of bis
hands and began to caress il, as she mad
done on the previous day. He drew it
away; she again c!asped it Then, for
the first time in the court room, the do,
| fendant spoke. "Oh let mo alone; don't
| do that were the words from him tn At
startled those in tho room and caused Mr..
Freeman to cease epoaking. The defend
ant began TO tremblo vieibly throughout
his body and unsteadily arose from his
chair; he stood trembling, with open
mouth, and breathing heavily and eyl.
IDENTITY with an effort, Cant 60 out?
Oh, let mo go out" were the words he
spoke, seeming to address Judge Benton.
| The court summoned Sheriff Dwyer,
who removed the defendant to the
(judge's office, where he remained for
about five minutes, when he became
somewhat calmer and was again brought
into court. He had broken into tears
while in the judges Office and thus was
slightly relieved.
Meanwhile his mother had broken into
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-04-03
spells of mental arrangement in him
OF which her mother related.
The deposition of
MRS. MARY MONTGOMERY,

4uo OopOoAtAOu VI
MRS. MARY MONTGOMERY,
another sister of defendant, residing at
252 Second avenue south, Minneapolis,
corroborated that of Mrs. Hunt, and de-
ponent added that her mother, at one
time, while deranged, attempted to COM
NIT suicide.
Both sisters said that, in their opinion,
defendant was insane.
At 2:30 pm. the defense rested.
In rebuttal, the state called
J. J. MILLER,
a German harness maker of Columbia
Falls, who swore that he had been init
mately acquainted with defendant and
could see nothing wrong with him; could
not say whether he was sane or insane.
One evening, about o'clock, defendant
entered witness shop full of whisky,
with blackened eyes and blood on his
coat; said he had fight; witness after
wards learned it had been with Martin.
Cross examined, witness said that
when defendant entered his shop he was
so drunk he could hardly stand; witness
had seen him in the morning of the
same day, and he was then sober. Wit
ness admitted that he had kept defend
ants guns in his possession; denied that
he had told defendants mother that
Dan Frost had gone off with defendants
wife, and defendant was in bad fix,
and she must not let him have firearms,
or he would kill himself.
