IN HANDS OF JURY.
Fate of Alma Bell Is Being Decided
Today.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. 24-The Alma Bel!
murder case was given to the jury In
the Placer county court at o'clock this
morning. The state has not asked the
death penalty for this unlettered youN
mountain girl who killed her lover Joe
Armes, on the night of June last Lire
Imprisonment is the most unfavorabie
verdict that she faces, but she and her
aged mother are strong in the faltn
that no jury of mountain-bred men
would ignore the appeal of the ancient
and unwritten law that forms the basis
of the girls defense. Armes made love
to her and betrayed her and cast her
off for a prettier face. That is her
whole story and her whole defense.
A few of the girls love letters to
Armes were read to the jury yesterday.
In one, written a few weeks before she
killed Arn1es, she says:
II am good at heart, dear, and there
are some in the world I could make
happy, but I feel wretched at the
thought that no one cares for me-
feel. dear heart, that even you. do not
care for me seriously and I feel l don't
care what happens to me.
Sometimes perhaps you feel that L
was friendly with others as I am with
you. Never, sweetheart, never. Believe
that"
