L D0UX TRIAL
NEARLY ENDED
Defendant Is Kept Off
the Stand by Her
Attorneys.

STOCKTON, June 20.-The taking Of
testimony in the LIE Doux murder case
was concluded today and the argu-
ments were begun. 1t is expected that
today and tomorrow and possibly part
of Friday will be taken up with the
argument. The trial has lasted about
two weeks and great many witnesses
have been examined, and for that rea-
son it is thought that the argument
will be long, at least on the side of the
prosecution.
The only witness introduced by the
defense this morning was Mrs Mary
Head, mother of the accused. She tes
titled that her daughter had been a user
of morphine at different times for the
past four or five years, and that Nc
Vicar had tried to have her (the wit
ness) coax her daughter to marry him
again, thus indicating divorce. Cross
examination developed that she had
made contrary statement to the Dis
trict Attorney.
The accused did not testify.
The prosecution put on witnesses m
snow that the defendant had had no
morphine in jail and had not asked for
any, nor was any found in her effects.
Expert testimony was introduced by
the prosecution to combat that intro.
duced by the defense to the effect that
McVicar had died by means of carbolic
acid, self-administered
While the prevailing sentiment ;s
that the accused is guilty, there is
some feeling that the jury NAV die
agree for various reasons, such as tha
fact that the accused is a woman ana

HER LIFE
IS ENDANGERED
Mae Wood Claims She
Dare Not Leave Her
Old Home.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

COLON, Mich, June 20.-Mae Cath
crime Wood, after the announcement
of her proposed suit at law to establish
her alleged marriage to United States
Senator Thomas c. Platt, today began
to direct the gathering of evidence she
intends presenting to the courts.
Il am going to stay in Colon" she
said, because I am afraid to go else
where. After the menacing attitude
OF certain persons in the last two years
or. more and the evidences that came
before my eyes of harm intended for
me, have decided that 1 will remain
in Colon until the time for starting
the suit.
Without wishing to try my case in
the newspapers / can suggest with
propriety, 1 believe, that unless there
were something of foundation to my
story / would not have beer bounded.
Threatened and jobbed' as 1 was in
1903 and later. I expect that some at
tempt will be made to throttle me-
But here, in my old home, among
friends of my childhood, feel safe and
do not think any job can be success
fully worked on me-
Il have two friends who have knowI-
edge of the location of the man who
performed the marriage ceremony."
she said, "and when 1 need him to
testify as TO what occurred in suite
l5S at the Fifth Avenue Hotel I think
he will appear. That is unless some
great influence manages to suppress
him.
My sole object is to have the truth
known. I have my own means and it
is not money 1 want. I want to close
this incident of my life and 1 believe
this can be accomplished sooner than
III is generally believed. 1 do not know
what sort of defense Senator Platt will
make. I do not see how he can defeat
the claim that the marriage contract
was entered into and that secrecy was
one of the demands made upon me. I
expect that the assertion will be de-
MED, but if / have proof a formal de-
termination of the claims will be made
by the courts.
I'm explanation of the certificate
that came to my possession 1 will say
that while 1 did not know just why
the Senator cared to be married in
such haste at the time / decided to
see that my rights were preserved as
far as possible. am a lawyer and
business woman and ii was not un-
usual that insisted upon a certificate,
was it?''
Mrs. Wood has kept secret the iden-
tity OF the man who she declares Joined
her IN marriage to Senator Platt but
today she told a little of him. The
man, whom she calls Edward w.
Rice" is, according to her statement.
