HEAPS NVEcTIVE ON WOMAN

4 stylish appearing women managed to gain entrance to the gloomy. stirling court room today to hear the conciud- ing arguments in the trial of Madame Steinheii for the murder of her hus- band and stepmother.
 The accused woman. deathly pale. walked unaided Into the court room. but her step was mechanical and her arms hung Imply at her sides. When she had taken her place in the dock she seemed hardly to have the strength to look about her and sat with lower ed eyes like one in dream as the red robed judge advocate resumed his merciless arraignment.
 Beginning with the words: We will live again the tragic night" Trouard Riolle, who had opened his summing up for the persecution yesterday, in cold, dispassionate wordS undertook to reconstruct the scenes in the stein hell home on the night of the tragedy and on the morning following the crime was discovered. He marshalied the testimony of the witnesses to es- tablish his contention that the bur glar story was a fabrication and the pretended binding of Madame Steinheil a faree;. and that the money claimed to have been stolen never existed and that the iwels which the widow as- serted had been taken from the house, were afterwards found in her posses sion.
 NJ. Rioile dweit particularly on the ..teii-tale ink stains" which the two physicians who examined the injuries of Madame Steinheii claimed to have found upon her knee. The prosecu- ton claimed that during the binding of Madame Japy an ink stand in ner room had been overturned. the fluid teing spnttered upon the bed and up- on the accused.
 Avoids Nem-suit.
 She wished to avoid .he probability of a non-suit in her favor becauLei such an outcome of the case woald not satisfy Borderel and unhesitatingly she placed the accusing pearl In tho pocket Of her servant Remy -couii- lard.
 As the advocate general proceeded. he became increasingly severe in his denunciation of the white faced priso- ner before him and frequently mur- murs of dissent came from those in the rear of the court room. As she heard herself described as cold, cal- culating fiend with Q soft exterior, Madame Steinheil bit her lips and rais- ed her clenched hands in nut eprotest. At the conclusion of his description of the night of the scene, when the wi-
 
 the journalists the prosecutor shout ed: she can't tell the truth because she Is guilty"
 whereupon the defendant half arose from her seat and then sank back. burying her face in her hands.
 He insisted that the evidence prov ed that tn eapparent illness of the ac- cused after the commission or the crime had been simulated and subse- ouent developments had confirmed the suspicion that she had acted with hy- pocrisy throughout"
 asaw Lover Slipping Away"
 sIt was that when the police had definitely rejected her story of the Gaberdine clad burglars and she saw her lover. Borderel. slipping from her net because the mystery was unsolv- ed. the prosecutor said that Madame Steinheil in desperation began to ac- cuse innocent persons.
 Another feature of the judge advo- cate's argument, which stirred the audience to protest wns his reference to the evidence which he said two fell low prisoners had given against Mime. Steinheil. To these prisoners he said that Madame Steinheil had confessed that she had committed the crime charged against her. explaining that she had admitted an accomplice to the house but that he took no active part in the murder. The murder of her step-mother, the judge advocate said, | was necessary to the alibi which the accused expected to establish.
 M Aubin, the defenses counsel. in- terrupted the prosecutor to ask why the witness to his clients confession were not brought into court. To this NJ RioIle replied that they had been heard by the examining magistrate and that the jury must take their testt- mony for what 1t was worht. This abatement was greeted with audible ex- pressions of disapproval.
 Quotes similar Case.
 The judge advocate argued that the pretended burglary might have been suggested by similar and celebrated case which occurred near her home when Mime. Steinheil was still a girl. The disappearance from a Hebrew thea ire on the night before the tragedy of three Raberdines he dismissed as a simple coincidence. He declared that the rumors of political personages be- ing compromised in the prosecution of the case was nonsense
 A dramatic incident occurred as the nrosecutor concluded his resume of the evidence against the defendant NJ. Aubin. Jumping to his feet exclaim- ed: name the accomplices at whom you have been hinting throughout your argument? Were they Marietta and Alexendre Wolfr'
 The spectators, who had watched eagerly for just such bits of byplay burst forth in applause. Judge De- valles threatened to clear. the court room and this warning was effective. When quiet was restored M. Riolle said:
 "I decline to answer"
 Netther Marietta Wolf. the cook. nor her son Alexandre, was in the court room today and there was a rumor afloat that they might be arrested to- night.
 May Reach Jury Today.
 By reason of the fact that Madame steinheirs counsel M. Aubin. is yet to be heard doubt has arisen whether the fate of the woman will be given into the hands of the jury tomorrow.
 Throughout the day Madame Stein hell seemed terribly depressed. Not once did she interrupt the proceedings. though frequently she clenched her hands and showed signs of anger
