Desmond had every motive for the

her own property worth million.
The prisoner bore himself as one Nv

The trial was short, the defense be-
ing confined TO a theory advocated by
the prisoners counsel that Desmond
had been made temporarily insane by
the loss Of fortune and the woman he
loved The plea was considered weak.
