yised and supported by periurCd testl-
m9ny. Mary Siemmering? Ah, there Is
the keynote. She Is the woman FOR love
OF whom one OF the darkest deeds in
criminal history was done. She per-
jured herself and cast a blot upon her
soul on the witness stand IN This court.
She has been impesahed and her cvi-
dcnce destroyed, but she stands to-day
ns q living example OF the desperate
methods employed IN the defense OF
this man"
