The prosecution expects to prove. accord
ing to Assistant United States Attorney
Turner, that HUH. who Is thirty-two years
Of age, had been living with Agnes Levy,
well-preserved woman, sxty-two years old,
as man and wife, although some persons
were of the opinion that they were son and
mother. HUH often abused the woman,
Mr.. Turner declared to the jury, and as
early as last March had threatened to kill
her, pursuing her to the home Of friend,
whittier she fed from him. HUH and the
Levy woman last June moved to 1217 T.
street, where they occupied three rooms OF
the second floor. Neighbors noticed that
HUH cursed, abused and threatened his
companion.
Overheard by Witness.
The latter part of July, according to the
prosecution, Mrs. Roth, who resided on
the third floor of house 1917 E street, heard
HUH say to Agnes Levy:
IF catch you talking to that woman up
stairs I'll cut your throat
Sounds Of a struggle were heard in the
rooms on the second floor the evening OF
Monday. August !, and then, in a choking
voice, cries of "Murder!
Mrs. Roth and another woman upstairs
rushed to the front windows and screamed
"Police!
In the meantime. 1t is alleged, Agnes
Levy with her throat slashed literally from
q razor, managed to crawl up the stairway
to the third-floor landing, where she was
found by Policeman Lewis and Special
Policeman Williams The only garment
she had on was an undershirt An ambu-
lance was summoned, but the woman died
on the way to hospital.
When the policemen reached the house
they saw HUH. Witnesses heard him say,
ed, IT did 1t. Her name was Agnes Levy.
She came from Philadelphia. She did me
dirt"
To others Huth is reported to have said:
TT was on account of a woman upstairs.
Arrest Follows.
Huth left the house and proceeded to a
saloon in South Washington. While there
he remarked I'm in trouble" Later, 1t Is
said, he visited the saloon second time
and repeated the remark. The following
day, Mr.. Turner told the jury, HUH was
arrested while in Locust alley. He was
about to cut his throat or wrist with duii
knife, and exclaimed: i've killed one anu
I'm going to kill another"
After Assistant United States Attorney
Turner had outlined to the jury Just what
the government expects to prove, the prose
cution began the introduction Of testimony
by calling medical witnesses to tell OF the
condition of the body of the deceased when
the autopsy was performed. The defense
reserved its opening statement.
