Jan. S, this defenda ntstold the otfic-
ers-about the quarrel over the let

ect an insane man. He used lang
uage he had never used before. She
got afraid and started down stairs.
She heard him throw the clothes
and come after her She ran down

Her innocence at once leads her TO

anything would happen, the woman
would get it and not these brave
officers. 20 And now about the key

Would one guilty make such a move
--one who had had the forethogght
to place key on the inside of the
door, to put shot through the floor,

Just as she. did do. Now, gentleman
going back, you remember this
story of the state that there we're
two shots through the head. The
testimony of the states experts was
as to vital parts of the brain de-
stroyed. The state held that Krgpse
could not have fired the second
