Denver, Colo, Nov. 20.-One OF
the most sensational murder trials
in the history of the middle west,
began today when Gertrude Gibson
Patterson was placed on trial for
the murder of her husband, The
defense will rest practically on the
story of the woman her elf.
1t will be a story Of a woman of
education, who. as she will allege,
was sold to Emil Strouss, rich
Chicago clothier, for a speculative
sum by her own husband. She viii
tell how she sacrificed everything
dear to her in order to help her
husband in his fight against tuber-
culosis, and then how his eruelties
drove her to divorce and later a
quarrel in which she was compelled
to kill him to save her own life.
SIZE viii allege that her husband
was given $500 by Strouss and
she and the latter went abroad. Af-
ter reaching Europe Patterson cab-
led that he was out of money and
Strouss gave her $4,000 and sent
her back to America, where she
lived with her husband Then fol-
lowed the acts Of cruelty which cul-
minated in the killing.

Up Religious Meeting.

CONSERVATION rose high in Maui
rer last night when Patrolman Is

meeting, conducted by John Siyak,
an evangelist OF COS East S3rd

under the delusion than an anar-
ehistie rather than an evangelical
meeting was being held and without
orders from any OF his superiors,
broke 1t up. He was severely crit
icised In the attempt and believing
bodily harm might befall him, he
called FOR nelp. Patrolman Joseph
Hartung responded and found they
were not wanted.
Chief Burke gave his consent for
the meeting, knowing that il was
Of a religious nature. Holy pictures
were displayed and Weitzen thought
they we're ordinary moving pictures
Chief Burke and residents Of
Maurer are incensed over Weitzen' S
action. The chief declares he would
not attempt to stop any religious
meeting that was conducted in the
proper manner and did not block
traffic on streets. He is acquainted
with Siyak and has enough conf
dence in him to believe that he con-
ducts meetings worthy OF being
