SERVANT TELLS STORY
OF STIENHEIL MURDER

Jail for several days he was released
on Nine. Steinheils confession that
she had placed the Jewel in his pocket.
Thought to Trap Him
She claimed she had become con-
yinced the servant was guilty. and, be-
iieving that if arrested he would com
fess, she planned to bring him into the
custody of the police.
Couillard's testimony was confined TO
the defendant. He insisted that when
he found Madame Steinheil she told
him only of a burglary, making no
mention of her husband and step
mother, who lay dead in their rooms.
He said the gag was not in her
mouth, but near the pillow on which
her head rested.
Her hands were tied in front of her,
and not behind her back as she had
testified, the witness said, and both the
ropes about her wrists and ankles were
loosely bound.
Moreover, the witness said, after the
police had arrived and the woman had
told them the story of the MURDERS the
telephone bell rang, whereupon Madame
Steinheil, who had been feigning Ill
ness and pain, ordered him from the
room, and, springing from her bed, an
swered the telephone.
During this testimony the prisoner
Interrupted repeatedly, denying most
of Couillard's statements as fast as ne
made them.
