 TAKES STAND TEsTlFiEs IN FAVOR OF MIME. sTEiNHElL, WHO ACCUSED
 HIM OF MURDER.
Several Decisive Points Are Won by Mme. steinheil--several Wit
 nesses Testify.

the opening of the second week of her tfial, when she appeared in court to- day, although looking haggard, was much calmer after passing Sunday in repose.
 Mime. Antanzlo, wife of one of Stein heil's models, and Dr. Archary, the Steinheil family physician, though called by the state today, both testl- fled in favor of the accused, the for mer insisting upon the frenzied con dftion of the woman on the morning after the crime. and the doctor con- tradicting in the most categorical fashion the testimony attributed to him before the examining magistrate.
 Dr. Archary denied emphaticaliy that Mme. SteinheIl told him that her husband was addicted to an infamous practice. He insisted that the report of his previous examination was err roneous, and also that he never be- lieved that Mime. Steinheil's illness subsequent to the crime was stimu- lated notwithstanding the testimony to the contrary, given by the doctors who made the autopsles and expert examinations.
 Dr. Archary testified that Adolphe. Steinheil's examination was due to asphysiation after strangulation and that Mime. Japy's resulted from as phyxiation. ..ls IA .tl
 Because of the manner in which the bodies were bound, ,he doctor offered the opinion that one benson could not alone have committeG the murders.
 M. Aubin, counsel for the defend ant, promised to prove to the satisfac- ton of the jury that the gag they ex- amined was not the one used to gag Mme. Steinheil.
 When the recess was ordered after the testimony of experts, Mime. Stein hell oriew out wildly: They are de- termined to kill me. They are deter mined to kill me-"
 When the taking of testimony was resumed ofter recess, Mme. Steinheil wept bitterly, while Pierre Buisson. who broke off his engagement to Mar. the Steinheil, testified He declared that his action had nothing to do with the question of dowry.
 Another doctor testified that he did not consider that the prisoners ill., ness after the crimes were discovered was feigned.
 An expert who examined the ropes with which NJ. Steinheil was bound testified that they came from the kitchen of the Steinheil house. and clock expert, who examined the clock in the house, declared that it had been stopped by hand, as 1t was wound up.
 Frederick H. Birmingham, the Amer
  ican newspaper man, who was arrest ed on suspicion of having been the murderer at the time of the murders, created a furry on being called to the sand by announcing:
 T am the man who has just escaped the guillotine.'
 After explaining the facts establish ing his alibi. Mir Birmingham protest ed vigorously against the manner in which he was dragged into the case and especially against the language of his indictment. which he regarded as defamaory. Both M. Aubin and the prosecuting jndge expressed re- gret that he. had been falsely accused.
 The detective who escorted Mme. Steinheli when she secretly viewed Birmingham and identified him as one of the assawsins. testified that he was greatly impressed with the prisoners sincerity that he would not have be. ileVea her IS she had confessed that she was guilty.
 q say that" the witness shouted, because 1t is my profound conyic- ticn It is the cry of my conscience"
 The remaining witnesses developed nothing new.
 Today's proceedings are considered distinct victory for the defendant. as no direct evidence duplicating her was produced. On the contrary. sew eral of the states witnesses testified in her favor.
 Mime steinheil. at the adjournment of the trial for the day, wore look ct contentment as she warmly shook the hands Of her lawyer.
