OF HUSBAND

Telegram by United Press.
Denver. Colo, Nov. 22.-The open.
ing statement Of the state in the Pat
terson trial was delivered here today
The defense is undecided whether to
make statement now or at the end
OF the trial
The state will introduce evidence
to prove that the woman killed her
husband from the sheer 1esire to
be rid of him. having made numerous
threats before.
The defense viii attempt to prove
that Patterson eonnived at the de.
basement Of his wife as a source
Of income and also that she had re
ceived such cruel treatment at his
hands that she was incapable Of dis
tinguishing right from wrong at the
time Sf the shooting.
The belief is that the woman will
not be hanged and that if the state
obtains a verdict on the grounds Of
assault it will have scored victory.
