GOODIN CASE IS CLOSING
ARGUMENT IN THE vITRIOL THROW
ING SENSATION.
Mrs. Ruddici<, SpirftuaIis Medium,
Testifies Against the
Defendant.

The argument in the case against Mrs.
Maud Goodin. charged with being the chief
conspirator in the plot TO injure DR.. Aimee
Haskinson, began yesterday afternoon. The
state produced another new witness yester-
day morning. This was Mrs. Frances Rud-
dick, spiritualistic medium, who testified
that In May, 1888. short time before the
vitriol was thrown on Miss Haskinson, Mrs.
Goodin and her daughter came to witnesses
house and Mrs Goodin asserted James Van
Malta was going with doctor. explain
ing that IT was woman doctor. Mrs.
Goodin, the witness said, declared that she
did not intend to lose Van Malta. This evil
dence was in rebuttal, Mrs. Goodin having
testified that she broke off, with Van Nat
ia in April, 1898. and had no interest in him
at the time the assault was made on Miss
Haskinson.
Yesterday afternoon Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh made the opening argument for the
state. He went into the states evidence in
detail, referring to the testimony of the de-
Tense in a general way. Mr. Pugh made a
strong argument. He introduced a new the
Dry in reference to the alleged plot to as
sassinate Dr. Haskinson in the house on
West New York street. Early in the trial
witnesses testified that few weeks before
the vitriol was thrown on DR.. Haskin5on,
Mrs. Goodin and Mrs. Lulu Kline went to a
house on West New York street and rented
a room for the night. 1t was claimed that
Mrs. Goodin was disguised and posed as the
aged mother of her companion. There was
testimony TO the effect that the women had
two boxes of acid, a revolver and razor.
According TO the evidence, Mrs. Kline was
TO bring DR.. Hasknson 10 the house TO see
her mother, who was very ill. AS soon as
the doctor arrived she was to be murdered.
AS disclosed by the evidence, Mrs. Kline re-
fused to go for DR.. Haskinson.
Mr.. Pugh in his arg ..nent declared that
he did not believe Mrs. Goodin meant to
have Miss Haskinson come to the New York
street house that night. and in fact did not
mean to harm her then. In the opinion Of
the attorney. Mrs. Goodin knew that 1t was
after the doctors Office hours, and had Mrs.
Kline gone for her she would not have found
her. Mrs. Goodins motive on this occasion,
the prosecutor believed was to impress Mrs.
Kline with the fact that she was desperate
and was courageous enough to undertake
anything. Already having Mrs. Kline under
her influence, she wanted to inspire her with
greater fear.
