delivered into her hands once he had
killed the man, must have done all she
asked had she but known enough.
But her calm was gone, She was In a
hurry to have done with It all, and, sat
lsiied in her short sighted cunning that
the plot was good enough 10 hide muir
der, she went hand In hand with Thorn
to the end.
Then began an ordeal of which she
had thought but as possibility rather
than as something to be expeeted--ar-
rest, badgering, direct accusation, cross
examination and worst, the arrest OF
Thorn. She planned flight, and, losing
her nerve temporarily, told Of IA mother
III In Germany. From that on she made
fatal steps, keeping an outward show
OF stolidlty and even attempting to re-
pair mistakes which she knew she had
made,
Dr. Spitzka said her looking over her
shoulder when she was arralgned after
her arrest Inferred that II guilty, she
was looking for an accomplish whom
\ she would betray II cornered. That
was true, Imprisonment, solltude,med-

sPITZKA'S ACCURATE STUDY.
See now how accurately DIR, spitska
read her. These are extracts from an
interview with him in the Herald OF
July 4:
THE face Is that of q virago, very
coarse minded. animal creature. brutal,
frozen and stolld, extremely selfish, with
small mentality, yet with u certain
amount Of low cunnlng-in short, the
face OF a woman who lacks every noble
feminine quality, Yet Il is not face
that any man would have right to
stlgmatlze as criminal one. ON the
contrary, there are faces of higher
type which appertain to criminals and
faces of lower type which do not be-
long to criminals,
"rhe ears are her most animal fea-
ture. The lobules are OF the short,
stumpy, iieshy variety, and when she
turns her back they give you the only
unpleasant idea of what Is so often seen
in state prisons and penitentiaries.
"Her hands are remarkable for their
breadth. In the old times an examiner
in the class OF obstetrics would never
have passed a medical student as tit for
that branch of medicine II the measure
ment of the hand at the finger line ex-
tended beyond three inches. Now this
woman, ostenslblV, midwife, certainly
measures more than three and one-halt
inches across the hand at the finger
line. Tier wrists exceed the average
man measurement.
Her muscles seem hard and firm. i

of her neck. 1t is massive and bull
like, but its especial peculiarly Is that

AS to her bearing, would say It's main
characteristic is dull and heavy sur
prise. on the hypothesis Of guilt the
expression might mean astonfshment at
the fact that her carefully laid plans
had miscarrled so completely.
IT noticed a frequent molstenlng OF
the llps with the tongue and an occa-
sional nervous glancinS over her shoul-
ders."
"What do you infer from thls?"
"That II she is guilty and the accom-
ptice is caught she will turn states eV-
ldence against him. She Is not OF the
type that would sacrifice. herself for an
other or refuse any avenue OF escape
because II compromises another"
IF, as is said she was not registered
MS a midwife and never reported a birth
to the board OF health that fact would
throw CHASTITY suspicious upon her and
lead to the Inference that she might
have been in the habit of disposlng OF
the bodies OF children stillborn or pre-
maturely born in exactly the way she
disposed OF Guldensuppe's body. II,
In addition, the report be true that she
was contemplating baby farming on
large scale, you can easily imagine how
callous she might have become to cut
ting up human bodies for the purpose
