Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 3.-The
feature of the single session TO-DAY OF
the trial of Hattie lie Blanc, the
French Canadian girl of II years
who is on trial for the murder OF
Clarence b. Glover, a Waltham laun-
dry proprietor a year ago, was an
animated legal controversy between
District Attorney John ]. Higgins, the
chief prosecuting officer, and Melvin
NJ. Johnson, chief counsel for the ac-
cused girl.
The contest was over the admission
Of evidence which is considered OF eX-
treme Importance TO the prosecution.
This evidence concerns the statements
alleged to have been made by Hattie
lie Blanc in the Waltham police sta
tion Immediately after she was dls-
covered hiding under bed in the
Glover home on the night Following
Glovers funeral. The argument be-
tween counsel was precipitated when
one of the witnesses, Samuel b. Ell
more, Mrs Glovers attorney, was on
the witness stand and was questioned
as to what Hattie said at the police
station.
II transpired that Hattie was asked
the direct question:
did you shoot Mr.. Clover"
NO replied the girl in English
She also said, Il had no revolver
to kill with"
This was brought out during the
arguments before Judge Bond ana
the jury did not hear the evidence.
