!, did he permit her to come to Spokane
alone in such an awful condition?
IF Nellie Thornton told lie when
she stated Mrs. Harris tried to
smother the babe with a blanket, I
was a party to 1t. You, men of the
jury, would not believe me capable
of doing such a thing. Don't get
fooled. Recollect how she deceived
the officers and Mrs. Shaw. The de-
fense's counsel could abuse Nellie
Thornton until she was black in the
face, but he believed she was telling
the truth. That prostitute she may
be, but there fingered beneath the
rough surface a heart that loved
children and natural instinct"
After reviewing the case at length,
Mr.. Kimball said: Il sympathize
with Mrs. Harris, Mr.. Harris, Alex
ander Harris, the son; Miss Pearl
Harris, the daughter. So do you all.
You have a greater duty to perform
than to sympathize. You know your
duty to the county-render your ver-
dict accordingly. We have a just
Judge who will fix the penalty. 1t is
up to you, jurymen, whether she is
guilty. Be fair men and fair in the
verdict. 1t is one Of the hardest
propositions in the world to solve"
