ARGUMENT BEGUN.
CONTINUED from Page One.)

ard. Two street car conductors and an
inspector who were put on by the pros
ecution in rebuttal testified that tra1-
fic was held up by a broken trolley
wire on the night of Sept. 10 and no
cars left for the fort between I and 5
O'Clock. The chief of police of James
town and the former chief of police of
that town testified that Miss Watson
was not a woman of good character.
In opening the argument for the de-
Tense toward the close of the afternoon
Attorney Morton occupied considerable
time in discussing the nature and
weight of circumstantial evidence ana
the necessity of proving the guilt OF
the respondent beyond a reasonable
doubt to make conviction possible.
H declared that the presumption OF
the defense that Mrs. Howard COM
mitted suicide was bcrne out by her
demeanor and acts on the day of her
disappearance. That she was suffer-
ing from insanity he said was indicat-
ed by her act that evening in leav-
ing the home where she had been so
kindly treated and going out alone
into the darkness, although she knew
that the house was locked between 3
ard 10 O'Clock every night and that
she could not return after that time.
1t was apparent, declared Mr.. Morton,
that Mrs. Howard did not expect to re-
turn.
After tracing briefly the career of the
respondent, Howard, Mr.. Morton said
that while the man. was perhaps quick
tempered, there was no evidence to
show that he was capable of laying or
carrying out any careful plot to do
away with his wife. The two letters
of Howard to his wife which We're
put in evidence last Saturday were
read again by Mr.. Morton to show
the affection which Howard had man.
ifested toward the woman he had mar
ricd.
Mr.. Morton had not completed his
argument when adjournment was
taken

"By no means"
"How long before Whites death die
