PROSECUTOR OPENS ARGUMENT

Paris, Nov. 11---That Madame Stein- hell aided by some unknown accom- plice, murdered ~f1er husband so as to obtain her freedom to wed the wealthy and infatuated Maurice Borderei, but that the killing of her step-mother was unpremeditased and merely incident to the tragedy, Is the theory of the State as outlined by Trouard Rio1le. the Judge Advocate. in opening the argu- ment of the prosecution this evening
 Driven to desperation by her finan- cia1 and domestic situation. the Judge Advocate contended. Madame Steinheil saw in Borderel a savior with whom, once rid of her husband. she could live in luxury as wife. if possible. or mis- tress.
 Seeking to simulate in . graphic manner that her husband had been as- sassinated. bv the burglars who had bound and gagged Herself and her stepmother. he argued, the defendant had bound Mrs. Japy at her home. but in the feverish haste the binding oi the stepmother had been overdone and the murderess found her dead when the staying Of Steinhei1 had been ac- complained. The Judge Advocate ad-
 mitted that the crime of patricide did
 not appear to be sufficiently esfabfish- ed. but he was convinced that the pria- oner had called her husband and as sisted in shfs murder.
 The. sprosecutor joined in the earlier deciafation of M. DevalIes. the presid- ing judge. that he would raise before the jury the general question of the complicity of the accused This was interpreted as an acknowledgement that the evidence was not sufficient to maintain the charge that Madame steinheil was the principal and that therefore he would ask for her con- victfon as an accoupiice.
 Throughout the crushing arraign- mert today, the woman sat with bowed head dejectedly buried tn her arms about the rail. The teHttnory for the dsfense was rastxietea ta Atensents l by q few friends Of the deAsndanA who con riliarea her incapable f4fhe crime. | A lawyer, M. Paisant by name whs was ari old friend of Madame Stein. hell. described her as an angel of lovs toward her husband and declared thai her entire life had been an herois struggle against adverse circum' stances.
 The Judge Advocate will conclude his argument tomorrow afternoon. M Aubin, counsel for the defendant. will follow and a verdict probably will bs rendered on Saturday.
