(For yesterdays late proceedings in
the Brennan murder trial see page 6)
Slowly but surely the states case is
drawing to close and the meshes OF its
evidence are as surely enveloplng Mrs.
Stella Brennan. the woman accused of
numbering her three stepchildren. With
the important testimony given by Mrs.
Sarah Sidney and Mrs. Alice Bryson
this morning the state is practically
thru with its important evidence, and
when court convenes next Tuesday
morning, all that will be left for
County Attorney AL j. Smith to do is
to pick up the loose ends Of his case
and strengthen the weak spots, if there
are any.
The pretty defendant has heard near
~ all Of the damaging testimony and
has as yet, given no real sign, of dis
shown any feeling whatever and then
it has only been a tear or sigh or o
frown, to be quickly blotted out by
the stolidneSs that she has assumed
for this trial. Today, as during the
other days, she sat unmoved and heard
r the states witnesses give evidence that
undermined her theory of the murder.
Does She Understand
Whether she does not understand the
nature and weight Of the testimony
or whether, nderstanding, she fails
to realize or assimilate what she hears,
is an open question. The fact remains
that outwardly she gives no sign.
The defense's theory that the muir
der was committed by man who
climbed up on the shed roof and thence
in the window, was given stiff jolt
this morning, when Mrs. Sarah Sidney
who lives next door to 1922 Fifth
avenue N, testified that she had heard
the, shots on the night of the murder,
where she could see the shed, shed roof
and most of the yard and street. She
swore positively that there was no one
on the roof and no, one insight, until
several minutes later, when Captain
