Testimony Causes Shame
The testimony given by Lu Eta
Smith dealt with Doctor Burke's ac-
tions while she was a patient at the
sanatarium, and her attending physi-
clan. Once before she had declared
that he had done things which no ply
sician should do and her detailed ex-
planation bore out her declaration.
While she told her story Doctor
Burke hung his head and the angry
muttering of Mrs Burke was plainly
audible others also hung their heads
as Miss Smith spoke. The audience
seemed embarrassed. ashamed that such
things should be said. and ashamed that
men and women should throng to
listen to them.
Toward the close of her testimony
Miss Smith proved the weakest. and
gave evidence that is regarded as ex-
tremely damaging to the prosecution.

DEFENSE CALLS FOR THE

By HARRY DAvIDS
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

c ANITA ROSA, Dec. 21.-Much that
could not be repeated with pro-
priety was heard in a packed
courtroom today, when Lu Eta Smith
made her closing statements as wit
ness In the trial OF Willard P. Burke.
All of her former evidence, crude.
harsh and unlovely as IL was, had at
least the softening shades Of an al
legged love and the sanctiheation of re-
hgious belief. but her horrible recital
today. dealing with her relationship
with Doctor Burke was so unclean that
neither she with all he rstrange be-
liefs. nor the district attorney. with
all his desire to shield her, made any
endeavor to mitigate the testimony by
thought or talk of love or religion.
