LEWIS TRIAL
NEARING AN END

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 81
When the trial of Irwin a Lewis, ac-
cused of the murder of his stepdhild,
little Edna Newlin. was resumed to-
day, the hearing Of witnesses called in
rebuttal was begun.
The assertions of Mrs. Edna Newlin
Lewis, wife of the man accused Of
numbering his step-child, that she told
her husband some details OF her life
before she married him, furnished one
of the most interesting features of the
trial yesterday. Lewis will not gain
much in his favor, it is thought, frc5s
his wife, because the court ruled out
much of her testimony which would
have been favorable to the defence.
Specialists in mental diseases, who
testified for the defence did more for
Lewis, so far. than all the witnesses
combined DR.. Francis X. Dercum and
DR.. Charles X. Mills, of Philadelphia,
professor of nervous and mental dis
eases at Jefferson College, were the
specialists called.
