watched her entrance with craned
necks. She seemed mildly interested in
them, but showed no signs of being
distracted by the chances of those who
were anxious to see the woman who
may be hanged.
Her black veil was thrown back from
her face and she smiled pleasantly as
she seated herself behind her lawyers
and exchanged greetings with, them and
with the others who have been near
her during the long trial When
James Brennan entered the room she
looked up and spoke pleasantly, and
when he sat down beside her she be-
gan an animated conversation with her
husband.
The County Attorney IS Argument.
Oratory is the program for the day.
County Attorney Al j. Smith arose
promptly at 10 O'Clock and after an
ELOQUENT introduction inwhich hedwelt
compelled" him to enforce the laws of
the great state of Minnesota even
against woman, and upon the heinous-
ness of the crime of numbering three
innocent babes, he2launched into a min
ute review and analysis of the evidence
in the case. His, bearing bespoke the
dignity Of the state. He was quiet, seri-
GUS anu intent and impressed all who
listened with the enormity Of the Of
Tense and the necessity for the safety
and welfare of the community that the
terrible crime should not go unpunished.
eff I shall aid you, gentlemen of the
jury, in determining where. the truth
lies, then shall have done my duty
said the prosecutor. "It is your duty
T to determine where the truth does lie. -
An Unusual Theory.
"The defense advances an unusual
theory They say that Stella Brennan
did not kill Elizabeth Brennan, but if
she did kill her she was not sane when
she did it. - a. ! 7 = - :"
Mr.. Smith then read the statutes re-
lating to the various grades Of homicide
and dwelt upon the definition Of MUIR
der IN the first degree. 49,
And those, gentlemen Of the Jury,
are wholesome laws. Those have been
the laws of the state of Minnesota for
many years and were the laws of the
state Of Minnesota when this defen-
| dant, Stella Brennan, came fro1n the
state Of illinois into the state Of Min
nesota.' H.. -.

The Matter Of Insanity.

: "In the matter Of insanity, gentle
men, the S ,dtes say that person is
responsible Tor his own acts unless he is
suffering from such a defect of reason
as not to know the nature Of the act he
