box had been filled shortly after the
opening Of tine afternoon session
and frank Moss. assistant district at

Evidence Circumstantial.
Mr.. Moss spoke calmly in a low,
even tone which mace more grew
some the narrowing details OF the
murder lie admitted that the state
would depend largely on circumstant-

show that her death was carsed by
strangulation. | shall show you the
cord that was found around her
neck and which sank into the tissues.
shall show you that strangulation
and incineration We're not the only in

body, and the person who killed her,

During this recital, Wolter showed
some evidence OF emotion. When
Mr.. Moss had closed, however, the
