TRIAL FOR
HER LIFE
Reno Woman is in Court
to Answer for Murder
Sensational Case

RENO, July 17.-Mrs. Alice M.
Winters was brought into the dis
trict court room this morning In Gus
tody of Sheriff Ferrel and placed on
trial for her life before Judge Orr.
Mrs. Winters. who is to be the
central figure In one of the most
sensational murder trials ever heard
in the county and the second to be
heard during the present term of
court Is charged with killing James
Baty on the evening of June ~ last
by shooting him with pistol.
Mrs. Winters has admitted the
killing but has entered the plea OF
self defense. The killing took place
near the English mill about one mile
north of Sparks on the county road
After killing Baty Mrs. Winters made
her way to Sparks and gave herself
up to Constable Malay. She stated
to the constable at the time that she
had killed Baty but that she had been
compelled to do SO in order to save
her own life as he had grabbed her
| by the throat, choked her and told
her that he was going to kill her and
put her in a near by prospect hole.
The body OF Baty, who was a
painter residing at Sparks, was
brought to this city and an inl"est
and autopsy held. The autopsy de-
veloped the fact that Baty had been
shot in the back of the neck and that
the bullet had ranged upward enter
ing the brain and causing instant
death.
The weapon used by Mrs. Winters
was a 3S caliber revolver and. only
one shot was fired. At the time OF
the shooting Mrs. Winters and Baty
were riding in a buggy.
The contention of the state is that
Mrs. Winters deliberately planned to
kill Baty and for that reason induced
him to take a ride with her on the
night of June IL. The act, it is al
legged by the state. was prompted by
some motive of revenge.
