MOTHER SUICIDE,
SODERBFRG HOLDS

OAKLAND. March 10.-The evidence
in the trial of Erland Soderberg for
the murder of his mother was con-
strued by Attorney j. J. Allen today as
showing that the woman had COM
mitted suicide and that the alleged
confession Of her son had been forced
from him after his will power had been
broken by the sweating process in the
city prison.
Take the marks on the woman's $
throat. said Allen. 'and consider that
they were superficial in depth and were
made from her right side They were
not cuts that would have been in
ficted by the prisoner. who is a man
of great physical strength had he been
In a wild rage and had struck his
mother. II he had welded that knife
against her the cuts would have been
made from her left side and il he had
gashed her throat with the carving
knife her head would have been nearly
severed.
After the shock of all this upon his
nerves he was confined closely and two
detectives worked upon him, repeating
over and over the story as they framed
il until his Will power broke down
and he was ready to agree to anything
or 10 sign anything to have peace
Allen gave realistic reading of the
testimony of Detective Hodgkins, in
which was related the alleged confess
sion of Soderberg The CHASTITY story
Of the struggle with his mother in the
kitchen, as Allen read IL, had 20 per-
ceptible effect on Soderberg today The
: attorney then pointed out parts of the
story which he said showed flaws and
proceeded with his argument.
He devoted much attention to the in
sanity defense during the 10 hours of
his argument.
Assistant District Attorney Hynes
had started his closing argument when
adjournment was taken by Judge Mel
vim for the day The case will go to
