 An ACcOmpIiCe
IN MURDER OF HER HUSBAND
 AND sTEPMoTHER.
THEORY OF THE STATE
Outlined in Perseeution's Opening Ar sument-The Prisoner Dejeeted- Verdict Probably Tomorrow.

Paris. Nov. 11.-That Mime. Stein heil, aided by some unknown accom- plice, murdered her husband so as to obtain her freedom to wed the wealthy and infatuated Maurice Borderel but the killing of her stepmother was .un- premeditated. and merely incidental to the tragedy, is the theory of the state as outlined by Trouard. Riolle, the judge advocate, in opening the argu- ment of the prosecution this after noon.
 " Prisoner Driven to Desperation.
 Driven to desperation by her finan- cial and domestic situation, the judge advocate contended Mime. Steinheii saw in Borderel a savior with whom, once rid of her husband, she could live in luxury as wife, if possible, or as mistress. Seeking to stimulate fin a graphic manner that her husband was assassinated by burglars, who had bound and gagged her and her step- mother, he argued, the defendant brought Mime. Japy to her home. but in the feverish haste the binding of the mother was overdone and the Tnur- deress found her dead when the slay- ing of Steinheil had been accomplish ed.
 Crime Not Sufficiently Established.
 The judge advocate admitted thar the crime of parricide did not appear to be sufficiently established. but he was convinced that the prisoner called her husband and assisted in his mur- der The prosecutor joined in the earlier declaration of M. De Valles. the presiding judge, that he would raise before the jury the general question of the complicity of the accused This was interpreted as an acknowledRe- ment that the evidence was not sufi- cient to maintain the charge that Mme. Steinheil was the principal and that, therefore. he would ask for her convic- tion as an accomplice.
 Mime. Steinheil Objected.
 Throughout the crushing arraign- ment today the woman sat with her bowed head dejectedly buried in her arms on the rail. The testimony was restricted to statements by a few friends of the defendant. who consid- cred. her incapable of the crime. A lawyer. M. Paisant by name. who was an old friend of Mime. Steinheil. de- scribed her as a veritabie angel of love toward her husband and declared that her entire life was a heroic struggle against adverse circumstances.
 Verdict Tomorrow.
 The judge advocate will conclude his argument tomorrow afternoon. M. Au- bin. counsel for the defendant. will foi- low, and a verdict probably will be rendered Saturday.

He cried and begged piteously for his life and was met by cries and blows from the mob.
 When Salzner was asked for his last statement, a man, stranger in the crowd steppes forward and said he believed Salzner was innocent, where upon the mob fell upon him, kicked him and finally knocked him down and 1t was only the plea of calmer persons with the mob that saved his life.
