she took Let us not be hypocrites,
gentleman of the Jury, but recognize
and admit our power as men over fe-
male desire, weakness and inability
to resist those sexual advances Of the
virile male; and let us not ignore mans
pursuit Of sexual gratifc-. .lon and his
mst for the opposite sex. Recognizing
this and also the fact that the male
accepts eagerly and willingly all risks
and all responsibilities in bringing TO
his arms those whom he lusts
the death of this man Ayres was
but the just, the moral penalty
paid for having qualification that
passion for which men In Al ages have
ben willing to make every sacrifice Of
Truth, HONOR, FORTUNE and even
LIFE. He could have gratifed that
mere lust inherent.in the virile male
in the purchased embraces Oh the W
prian and society would ayenge his
murder for the prostitute makes
makes It a profession to crafty all
men for money but the prostitutes
willingness to do so and her indiffer-
ence to selection rObs the act of that
! imaginative as well as real charm
which Nature has implanted I'm the
mind and body Of the man and woman.
Hence. if the Court please and you
gentlemen Of the jury the male seeks
| forbidden fruit at any and every risk
when his Imagination is fired and Ma
ture uncontrollably prompts him to
| a gratiucatiOn of at passion which is
as noble as il is misused, apd degraded.
| The woman i'm the case Is held blame
able for visiting the room Of a male
| paramour. Grant she is blameable-
| how about the man? Is there a law in
violation Of the natural one which
holds the woman blameable and the
man guiltless because the assignation
is held i'm the room and bed Of the lat
ter? What follyl The cry fact that
the woman visited tie room Of Ayres
condemns him Of having conquered her
citadel and taken possession Of her
soul as we'll as OF her body. She was
but the automaton ofhis seXuai desire
to wait upon hls passion and crafty
his lust. He owned her as a Chattel Of
lustful accommodation without the
respon sibility of her care In sickness
or the legal obligation Of providing
for her maintainance. And will you
say gentlemen Of the jury By your
verdict that this repudiated receptacle
Of satiated lust shall now pay the ad-
ditional penalty of her life after hav-
| ing bartered her soul and her body
to the seductive and amorous and /
may add irreBistahle charms and ad-
vances Of this splendid specimen Of
the young and virile male? Used as
a receptacle for the lust Of Ayres she
is now to be used as fruit for the gal
lows! He the paramour, sauaCed on
her person a passion as dear as life and

itself. by the lust maddened and hot
blooded virile male, and now you, who
are of his sex and who have eXper-
fenced his emotions are asked to hang
the female for submitting I'm her soft
desires to the overpowering passion Of
an aroused and ustful man. This is it,
gentlemen of the jury she satisfied,
she satiated his lust and he who would
and did risk his life to crafty that
passion sought to break the receptacle
thus adding mental murder to physi-
cal eXhaustion-and the female killed
him as he had killed her in soul, in
honor and in body!
But If it please the Court, and you,
gentlemen of the jury, the phase of this
case thus presented is the prosecutions
and / have but answered their demand
| for the blood of this woman with the
| logical and moral reason of her ad-
mitted adultery and subsequent muir
der, as stated by the government.
l do not, however, believe, nor viii
I admit, that the presentation and the
/ theory of the prosecution are true.
! On the contrary, / viii maintain the
purity Of this woman against the as
/ saults upon her virtue and will have
/ her not only acquitted OF this charge OF
murder out crowned with the spOtless
wreath of the unsullie,. matron l
would direct your attention, gentlemen,
to the open life Of this woman in the
! Kenmore hotel where her every act
was seen by all and her every word
noted. What testimony has the gov
ernment produced to show she had
| immoral tendencies or was Of that
| loose and reckless character which
| invites the advances Of the liberune
and the seducer? she Is described
/ by the government as the mother Of
| two children whom in the absence Of
| her husband she cared for with solici-
tude. She is proven to have been a
nurse to the sick in that Kenmore
| hotel, and to have been the friendly and
oblging matron who brought the
young of both sexes together In social
enjoyment. she was friendly to all,
| spiteful to none, not even TO the mem
! bers Of her own sex which is saying
much for a woman. She was refine
ment personihed In speech, gesture and
action and coarseness was foreign to
| her nature. She offended only in
preaching morality and temperance to
/ the immoral and the incorporate and
because OF the purity Of her life, her
unconscious charms and her passably
fair exterior she excited that desire
| in the heart Of Ayres which to crafty
ne ventured and lost his life at the
hands OF the noble matrOn he would
| dishonorl Presumtng upon her ten
der sympathy for the sick, on her will
ingness to wait upon and nurse the
afflicted, and on her amlable nature
which was characterlsucally sensitive
| to inhicting pain upon those with
whom she was in daily intercourse,
/ her would-be seducer having failed in
| his siege Of her honor determined
to take the citadel by assault and Sc
lected his last night in the hotel for
| his forlorn hope The plan was we'll
matured and only failed In execution
by the design OF Providence who makes
