was appealed to by Sheriff Davis. who
telephoned from Cairo that troops
we're needed. The governor ordered II
companies of the State Guard to
Cairo at once.
The mob gave SalZner a chance to
confess after the rope was around his
neck. but he was so frightened that he
could only humble that his sister kill
ed his wife
The mob became furious at this and
they had hard work to keep off Salzner
long enough to give him a chance to
pray. The mob finally subsidized and
short religious service was held, after
which he was strung up. the rope being
placed over telegraph pole at 21st
and Washington streets.
The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage, as 1t was an entire-

Madame Steinheil however, went no
further and the case of the govern
ment was declared closed
The first witness introduced by the
defence was a chauffeur who testified
that Nine Steinheil gave him 81 for
trying TO locate the 'blue automobile"
which was reported to have been seen
in front OF the Steinhcil home in the
Impasse Ronsin at O'Clock on tho
evening that the crime was commit

show that Mime. Steinheil was anxious
to discover the identity of the as
sassins.
Further testimony for the defence
was given by NJ. Scheffer. an officer
of artillery, who 90 years ago had con-
templated Il marriage with Nine. Stein

other friends of the Steinheil family.
All of these emphasized their convic-
