who testified that she knew Mrs. Glover

ton Mrs. Walsh was in doubt what

Judge and Prosecutor Clash.
Mrs Glover. widow Of the murdered
man. was recalled TO the stand as
witness this morning to finish her testi.
mony, This brought a bitter protest
from District Attorney Higgins as 10
her treatment bv the court Asked if

yes. but She denied telling her that
she married Glover to get back her
property which was III his name The

cutting attorney, Higgins, for not CON

Tending the witness Prosecutor Higgins
became angry at this and. replying. de-
uied the courts charge that he laughed,

nantly declared that he was being humil.
lated Prosecutor Higgins added that
he thought be wasn't getting his rights.
Judge Bond replied as follows
Continue your case, or | will request
you TO leave
Ruling That Displeased Higgins.
A feature of the trial has been the
success OF the defense III securing the
exclusion OF teh defense IN securing the
exclusion OF evidence that the prosecu.
tion deemed important Mr. johnson,
early in the trial, obtained a ruling from
Judge Bond, Withholding from the jury
any Of the testimony as to the diving
declaration OF Clarence f. Glover
District Attorney Higgins built his
case around the statement of Mr.. Glover
that Hattie Leblanc shot him. He eX-
pected to be able to introduce the fact
that MIR Glover had said Hattie shot
him. that he wrestled with her after
ward. took the revolver away from her
and threw it ont Of the laundry window
into the Metropolitan park reservation.
Taking this assertion of Mr.. Gloyers,
the district attorney proposed to prove
that the revolver was found where the
dying man said he had thrown it. thus
showing that in so far as It could he
corroborated the Glover testimony was
true
Attorney Johnson has made Mrs Lii
Ian NJ Glover his target from the open
ing day of the prosecution testimony.
Since the physicians at the hospitaa were
called to tell of the incidents of the even
ing of the homicide, it has been Mrs
Glover's acts and statements that have
been the subjects of inquiry. Day after
day the senior attorney for the defense
has kept before the jury Mrs. Glover, her
interest, her motive, the circumstances
which might define her relations to the
homicide.
The result has been that District At
torney Higgins has had to spend much
time protecting his witnesses, including
Mrs. Glover. There bas not been hom
icide trial in this state in recent years
where the defense has so definitely at
tempted to place the responsibility FOR
the crime on the shoulders of another
as have the counsel for Hattie Leblanc.
After Judge Bond had ordered Prose
cutor Higgins to continue his case to-
day. Mrs. Glover was temporarily ex-
cused from the stand, in order that she
might hunt for some missing letters.
