WIDOW CLASHED
WITH LAWYER
Seeking to Show That She Had
the Motive to Murder Her
Husband

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. "A col
loquy between Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glover,
widow of Clarence F. Glover and Mel
vim NJ. Johnson leading counsel for
Hattie Leblanc, who is on trial for
the murder of Glover, held the inter-
est of the court room during the whole
of today's sessions and was not con-
cluded when court adjourned.
The cross examination by Mr.. John
son, who announced yesterday that
he intended to show that Mrs. Glover
had the motive, the capacity and the
opportunity for the murder of her
husband, covered much Of Mrs. Glov-
er's life since she came to Boston
from Cape Breton, and dealt minutely
with her actions and feelings on the
day and night of the murder and the
few days that followed.
Mr.. oJhnson brought out that Mrs.
Glover was twice married to Glover,
once in Boston in 1890 and a second
time in Providence ten years later.
She said the second ceermony was
because she understood the first was
not legal.
She admitted certain falsifications
regarding her birth place and her

tween her testimony and that given
at other hearings were pointed out.
She said she sent for Hattie LIE
Blanc who lived near her own birth
place. clothed her. fed her and finally
found her husband with her. She sent
the girl away for week but took her
back, and on the fateful Nov. 90, 1909,
Glover took both women to a foot
ball game.
One of the liveliest incidents of the
day was over some letters said to
have been written by Hattie's rela-
tives which Mrs. Glover admitted
holding. These letters apparently had
disappeared but Mr.. johnson was very
anxious to get them and became so
insistent that the district attorney
started to defend the woman. Judge
Bond, however, ordered the district
attorney back to his seat
Just before the close of the fore
noon session Mr.. johnson asked:
do YOU know any reason why Hat
tie lie Blanc should have shot your
husband?"
Mrs. Glover replied that she did not.
She admitted she was familiar with
fire arms and had used a revolver at
a target.

Louisville, KY, Dec.-At a resump-
tion of the trial this morning Of
Joseph Vending charged with the
murder of S-year-old Alma Kellner,
the defendant became witness in his
own behalf. The accused man ap-
peared haggard and pale when he took
the stand and showed plainly the eff
fects of sleepless night. His ner-
vousness increased as the cross-ex-
animation progressed and at one time
it appeared that he would be unable
to even reply to the questions which
were fired at him by the attorneys
for the prosecution. Continually he
reached forward and with shaky
hands poured out glass of water
from pitcher near the witness stand,
gulping down the contents. Vending
was unable to explain why he had
left Louisville.

wealth's Attorney Huffaker, holding
up bloody pair of athletes velvet
trunks. They are" stammered Wesd-
ling in reply. He said he had wonn
them years ago when he was trick

clared he could not account for the
blood stains. The trunks were found
in the same cellar in which the body
of the kellner child was discovered.

a hatchet that his life is despaired of.
Seeing that life still remained in the

from her experience.
Girl Very Popular.
In the village of Brunola, one of the
favorite spots for the men who work
in the mines to gather is at the store
of Luigi Slara. 1t is not SO much the
elaborate stock of goods that he car
ries which attracts the young swains
as the comely face, petite figure and
fascinating manners of Joanna, his
daughter and chief clerk. Ever since
she took her place behind the little
counter in the store. many months
ago, business has been on the in
crease, and SO attentive to it was the
girl that her father never hesitated
leaving her alone to look after it.
Living with the Slara family was
the girls uncle, Ubalda, brother of her
father. He always took great in
terest in his niece, and at times has
displayed symptoms Of jealousy, but
this was always attributed, until yes
terday, to the almost fatherly interest
he took in Joanna.

Late yesterday afternoon, while the
girl was alone in the house, her uncle
entered. When he learned the exact
conditions he began to make advances.

Ing girl Of delicate build. was unable
70 overcome the brute strength of her
uncle. He dragged her to rear room,
stifed her cries with a pillow, and
later left her almost unconscious.
Upon recovering and realizing the
wrong done her by one of her own
flesh and blood, the girls nature as
serted itself. She did not await the
return Of her father. but decided to
right her wrongs herself.
Dashing into the cellar she secured
a sharp hatchet and hurried back to
the room In which her uncle was doz-
ing. With one mighty blow she sank
the keen edge of the weapon into his
skull. Then she stood aside and
watched him roll on the floor in q
paroxysm Of agony while the blood
rushed from the wound in streams.
