LIBBY, Mont, Aug. 1S.-The case
OF Mrs. Vera Prosser, charged With
the murder of her divorced husband,
Reese T. Prosser, aboard a great
Northern train near here, was given
to the jury this evening, following
brilliant argument by State Senator

which do declared with great dramat
ic effect that Mrs. Prosser had every
right under the laws of God and man
10 Kill that man when sho did"
When Senator Long began his ar
gument and began recalling acts In
the lives of the couple, Mrs. Prosser
began to moan and cry, her cries In
creasing until she became hysterical.
County Attorney Maiden assailed
the insanity plea and declared expert
testimony was valueless, as 1t could
be bought for so much per expert. and
asked the jury If 1t was not strange
that Mrs. Prosser had a gun with her
at the time she was seized with tenn
porary insanity.
