at home for thirty minutes. He stated
that he did not go inside the middle room
in which Mrs. Vance lay, but that he
merely went to the door and looked in at
his wife, whom he supposed asleep. he
denied having placed any poison in the
water beside the bed and denied having
placed any poison where it could be mad
vertently taken by any one. He identified
the envelope which contained the mercury
tablets and showed the scar of the wound

stated that he did not speak to his wife
because he thought her asleep He said
he first heard she was sick at 5:15. when
he came home from work. He stated that
he and Mrs Vance had two conversations
in which she had said she was poisoned,

not sure In his own mind that she had
been poisoned. but that he came to that
belief afterwards.
On redirect testimony he stated that he
had asked his wife if she had attempted

ferred to her threats to take her own life.

Mrs. Wunderlich was called in rebuttal.
but her testimony was almost entirely eX-
cluded upon the objections of the defense.
The defense then rested its case and
County Attorney Willard Hanson opened
the argument for the state.
Mr.. Hanson stated that the case pre-
sented peculiar features as nearly every
case of poisoning must. He detailed the
peculiarities of prisoners and stated that
from the care with which the deed was
planned ii was almost impossible to Sc
cure direct evidence of poisoning. He
spoke in scathing terms of the depravity
of the prisoner, whom he termed cold
blooded brute entitled to neither consid-
Grafton nor mercy.
Mr.. Hanson started with the quarrel be-
tween Vance and his wife on Nov. 70.
and related with impressive detail the
brutality with which Vance had beaten
and kicked his wife upon the slightest
provOcation He stated that the defense
did not deny that ne had kicked her. and
