and yelled, Its an absolute lie.''
At this point Attorney Thomas en-
tered an objection, but was over
ruled on the ground that the jury
had already been instructed to dis
regard any statements made in the
pleading which were not borne out
by the facts as adduced in evidence
Reeves summed up his argument on
this line by claiming that guilt had
been established out of the mouth
of the defendant. He denied that
course! had the right to accuse him
of being liz the case for the love of
gold. No more reason for believing
that than that the defending coun-
sci pleads for the same reason

A large number of people may
see something happen. No two OF
them will describe the circumstances
in the same way. Only in the lead
ing facts can they agree. This was
shown at an international conference
of jurists held a few years ago in
the city of Paris. A program was
arranged in which a crime was en-
acted by some actors and spectators
We're called to testify as witnesses.
There was an astounding diversity OF
opinion. Yet all agreed on the es-
sential points. Each was able to tell
which was the aggressor. | dare say
that if you twelve men were to see
dog fight, you would all differ On
the details; but you would agree as
to which dog started it and which
whipped.
''The essential clements of the
crime have been defined by the court
All concede that the affair happened
in Chelan county; that Jimmie SUIT
ton was killed and that he died from
gun shot wound at the hands of
the defendant.
THE points of disagreement arc
the position in which he stood when
the shot was fired: the fact of the
shot not being expected by him; the
cause of suspicict.
Now. stripped Of all extraneous
matter what is. the kernel of the
transaction? If Mrs. Totten believed
Jim Sutton had the hammer raised
and it was necessary to kill him in
order to protect herself, then, and
then only was she justified in killing
the young man. That is the only
real question.
Counsel has made much of the
trespass. No necessity in doing that
II is conceded that these young peo-
pie had no legal right to enter Mrs
Beebes land. 1t is unnecessary tt
discuss the question of whether an
other road was possible for them tc
use. | don't care if mountains were
on one side and hell on the other

Reeves should be SO bitter against
her. He tried to explain to her that
Mr.. Reeves was employed to act and
that he was compelled to make a

Mrs. Totten's testimony that the
elder Sutton threatened her four
years ago about being blown up by
dynamite was shown to be manufac-
tured evidence because in the cross
examination she was compelled to
acknowledge that at that time the
two families were on very good
terms.
Counsel has made a very effect

pleader, that you send this woman

witness stand for you to get acquaint-

If so, in what degree. Mercy is not

Did you observe that during ALL
the time when witnesses described
the events just after the shooting.
Mrs. Totten showed no remorse. She
sat cool and smiling through the re-
counting of those horrible details.
On the other hand she cried when
her own coming TO this part of the
country was narrated. She has pleI-
ty OF self pity and none for the young
man she killed. Do as you will, but

Evidence Analyzed.

1t is immaterial whether Jimmie
Sutton was one of those who de-
stroyed the first fence on the night
of August 9th. / will show you there
was premeditated design enter
tanned hours before the murder was
committed. All | ask is that you
consider this explanation and act
while under your oath the same as
you would if you were not under
oath.
The next day after the first fence
was destroyed, these two women de-
cided to have picnic-the first pic
mic in twenty years, as they testified
on the witness stand. All, this pic
mic was a red-handed carnival in
which blood was the drink.
Was it necessary to take along
this gum"
This dramatic question was ac-
companied by turning to the table
and dragging the Totten shot gun
across the surface 1t sounded like
an artillery in the silence of the
breathless court room.
Was it necessary to take along
this gun to shoot chipmonk at this
picnic? Were there any cherries
out there in the sage brush? Were
there any chickens out there to pro-
tect from hawks? Could there be
any other purpose than to commit
murder?
Uses Mrs. TOtten's Story.
Some of the evidence cleaned
from the lips of the accused herself
only strengthens the case against
her. If she was telling the truth
about the Sutton boys calling her
a lewd woman and other bad names,
that fact only furnishes an addition
al reason why you should believe
she has long entertained premedi-
tated design to effect this murder
How these women happened to
be out there on that hillside is their
own story. All their talk about sit
ting in that particular spot because
it was shady and made a good place
for a picnic only confirms the sus-
piciOn that it was the ideal spot for
q njrnic of murder
The defense has made much Of
the fact that these Sutton children
were trespassers when the murder
was committed The state does not
claim that Jim Sutton was justified
In cutting the wires If you prefer,
gentlemen of the jury, you may be-
lieve the Sutton children came there
for the specific purpose of cutting
the wires of the fence.
Two Stories Compared.
Jimmie Sutton jumped out of the
buggy when it stopped near the
place where he wanted to get
through, went to work and was told
to desist Up to that point the YER
sions of the Suttons and the Tottens
agree. What happened after that is
told in two stories. Which one OF

MUST WOMEN REGISTER IN OR
DER To VOTE?

DER To VOTE:
The operation of the new constitu-
tional provision allowing women to
vote in this state is raising some
very interesting questions.
d. The first one is whether the
amendment takes effect upon its
adoption by the majority vote or
whether it depends upon the pro-
clamation by the governor.
90 The form of oath for regis
tration prescribed by statute is APP
plicable only to male voters and
since the right to vote is constitu-
tional right, the failure OF the legis-
lature to provide a form of registra-
ton for women can NOT deprive them
of right to vote. At least this is
the contention of a number of at
torneys in the state who have looked
into the question. If this contention
is correct then all women otherwise
qualified may vote at the December
municipal elections without having
registered The attorney general has
been asked for an opinion on this
point.
In Anacortes, where the dries we're
defeated in the local option election
by only five votes, there is an inter
esting fight. On the advice of the
prosecuting attorney $50 women of
the town have registered for the pur-
pose of increasing the strength Of
the dries. A dry council will prob
ably be elected who will refuse to
grant any licenses.
A similar condition is found 1T
Burlington, where the vets won OFT
by 16 votes. Here the women have
also registered. most of them for the
express purpose of helping elect a
dry council who will refuse to grant
any licenses.
If the contention that women reed
not be registered in order to vote is
correct, the women of this city ma,
vote at the municipal election on
December without any furthe'
procedure. In case any authoritative
decision is made which affects tie
local situation, the Daily World will
advise its readers at the earliest mo-
ment possible.
The Seattle P.-I., quoting j. H.
yesterday, of Tacoma, takes another
view from that above stated. 1t
says:
Under our theory of government
the right to vote isn't natural
right: it is constitutional right.
and when, in the regular legal way,
1t is constitutionally conferred, it
may be freely exercised.
THE suggestion that women can
not register in portions of the state
requiring registration because the
voter is required to affirm that the
voter is a male person is observed
Courts have repeatedly held that the
pronoun he in statutes also means
She and it is difficult to see how
they could have held otherwise with
out reducing the law to an absurdity
Since the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendment in this state the
phrase a male person in the regis
tration law means and includes a
female person also, and TO take ally
other view of it would be to do vio-
lence to the best appreciated rules
of construction known to the law.
''Mr. yesterday is right. The WON
en- of this state can vote just as soon
as the constitutional record is per
fected by the issuance of the gov.
errors proclamation, and they can
register, too, where registration is
required"

them are you going to believe? Does
the story told by the two women look
reasonable to you?
They say he looked crazy. No
tice how one of them staid up on the
hillside with the gun while the 9TH
er came down to where he was at
work and proceeded to provoke him
by every means possible. Does not
that show design? One was to fur
nish the provocation and the other
fire the gun
Both Nettie and her mother say
Jim was in particularly good humor.
Confession to Officers.
ION the ride down from Brender's
Canyon to the county jail that night
after the murder the defendant con-
fessed to Sheriff Ferguson that she
had said to Jim Sutton, If you cut
those wires I'll shoot you, and she
says she shot when he cut them.
Did Ferguson lie? Is he swear
: ing to black falsehood in order to
| convict this woman. If so, it were
better that milestone be hanged
about his neck and that he be sunk
into hell. 1t is beyond belief. He
is not bloodthirsty individual who
would delight to see the blood OF
a woman flow.
The next morning after she was
| incarcerated, Deputy Sheriff Kenyon
| talked to Mrs. TOtten and said he
had not heard what had happened
The woman had not yet consulted
| learned counsel who should advise
her what would be the best story to
tell She then said, Il just had to
shoot Jim Sutton. He has been
bothering grandma so much that
just had to shoot him" Now that
is perfectly consistent with what she
told Ferguson.
while sitting in Paton's auto at
the side Of Sheriff Ferguson, only
two hours after the shooting, Mrs
! Totten said in the hearing of Bob
Ellinwood, the Daily World reporter
that she shot jim Sutton because he
had the hammer raised above heI
mothers head and that she had tc
shoot or see her mother killed. Will
Pate also heard her make the same
statement. Now she comes in here
with a story of self defense. Do you
remember my last question to her
in the cross-examination? said
| You fired the shot because you
thought it necessary to save your
own life, didn't you?' to which she
replied, Yes That was the only
reason?' Yes was her emphatic
answer. The conclusion is irresist-
i able that before she obtained counsel
! she spoke more freely than she does
| now.

Reason for Changing Story.

Reason for Changing Story.
There for good reason for chang
ing her version Of the affair so as
10 tell different tale on the wit
ness stand than at first. Self defense
is a different proposition than pro-
tecting your mother. The latter tale
would have woven net around both
of them. BY making a self defense
her plea. the women were able to
demand separate trials.
The story told by Mrs. Tctten was
quite connected on the direct exam
ination of her own attorney, but the
moment she was turned over to the
cross-examination, there was a COM
plete breaking down. There was a
reason for that. Never criminal
existed who would not at a certain
time and under certain circumstances
give away the truth.
