Island Of Ceylon, over h way. The

thirty years and it is largely based

teas could be had III all the large
stores, and that they were on tap at

able plea for liberty. Mrs. Isabella

Judge F. B. ogden. brought to a close
This afternoon her argument in her own
defense Never in the history Of the
Alameda county courts was more dra-
matte scene witnessed than that of this
woman battling for her freedom, giving
her. reasons. cogently and in order why
she should be acquitted and why the
state had failed in making out case
against her.
Mrs. Martin asked the jurors not to
send her 10 prison for a crime to which
Baby John Martin had confessed. She
put her arguments with great force and
dwelt on the many pathetic things IN
her life. and several times had the
jurymen in tears.
she denied writing the famous sis
page letter TO Judge Ogden, in which
threats were made TO blow up his house
and held that Carl EisenschimmeL the
hand writing expert. had not proved
that she was the author of the letter
She said the letter had been forged by
an expert penman. and it was palpable
that she did not belong to that class.
In her closing statement she pleaded
eloquently that she be freed. She had
suffered for three years. she said, and
at no time was there sufficient evidence
for keeping her in Jail.
District Attorney Hynes will make
his closing argument Friday morning
and ii is probable that the case viii b'
submitted to the jury in the afternoon
The defense has over 40 instruction.
and the prosecution has an equa
