10 ever have. District Attorney San
tord is positive that he can establish
a cold-blooded case of premeditated
murder against Mrs. Melber. despite
her assertions that she killed her son
for love and not for hate. He is firm
" convinced that she is sane and that
any defense of insanity can be shat
tered. She will probably be tried at

Relatives Disliked Boy.
Il know people must feel hard
against me" said Mrs. Melber in the
Jail infirmary. but I wanted to bury
my boy myself. His relatives did not

do anything for him in death George

Such yelled threats as these led the
authorities 10 place "a guard over the
prisoner and she is watched con-
stantly.
Those who are guarding the woman
are amazed at the light in which she
views the crime.
At times she shudders and screams
with horror at the thought of il. but
again she speaks quite calmly of the
crime, as though IL was nothing ex-
traordinary.
