Canton. Ohio. April 17.-The State con-
cluded its direct testimony against Mrs.
George this afternoon. There was
strong intimation to-day that the lines of
the defense will be temporary emotional
insanity. This came when the bench an
nounced that testimony bearing on the
relations between the accused and Saxton
dating back as far as the eighties would
be admitted If insanity is TO be the de-
fense. II was further admissible, he
said. on the grounds Of premeditatiOn,
and also because the State has shown
some of these relations.
Former Police Sergt. Hasler, who found
the revolver which was introduced Satur-
day, was rigidly cross-examined by Mr.
Welty to-day. He again denied that he
had sought to have a reward offered for

titled TO having been in q position where

ton Miss Susky said that standing on

mony.

Mrs. Althouse, testified to having seen
Mrs. George in front of the Althouse
home on several nights, and to an alter
cation there between Saxton and Mrs.

A final but unsuccessful effort was mado
to get before the jury the threatening
letter on which Mrs. George was indicted
in the United States court for an i'm
proper use of the mail. The State then
rested.
The defense asked for three of the Stats
witnesses for additional cross-examina-
tiOn. Attorney Werntz was asked TO tell
