MOTHER FIGHTS
FOR GIRLS
FREEDOM
DRAMATIC EVIDENCE GIVEN
IN COURT TODAY By AGED
PARENT OF ALMA BELL.

AUBURN, Cal, Nov. 2O.-Bar-
ing the story of her dead hus-
bands disgraceful conduct and
branding him as drunkard with
out feeling for his family, Mrs.
Mary Bell, aged in years and old
er in grief, metaphorically tore
out her own heart today and laid
1t upon the altar of her daughters
life and freedom.
So pitiable was the recital,
that the aged woman, fighting for
her daughter, Alma, being tried
for her life for the killing of her
lover, Joe Armes, that the Judge
had to order recess to allow the
witness and the court officials to
recover their equanimity.
Mrs. Bell, after passing brave
ly through the first part of her
story. broke down and wept con-
vulsively.
She told heart-rending story
of her life on the farm, where it
was drudgery and sorrow all day
and fear and worry all night.
The mother, recovering again,
told of her terrible anxiety during
the days just previous to Alma's
birth over the conduct of her
husband, and gave strong support
to the defense theory that the
girl had been enurctic from birth.
The aged woman related how
Alma Bell, her tenth child. had
come to her on the Friday before
the killing of Joe Armes.
She said Alma was sick and
nervous and depressed.
s'She beat herself upon the
breast and cried," sobbed the
mother. "She was distracted. She
lay down and moaned: L don't
want to live Over and over she
repeated this, and l begged her to
tell me why, and tried to comfort
her, but she only kept on moaning
Z don't know; don't want to
live.'
