subjected to the most terrible ar,
alignment OF women that ever
took place in the courts of the
Middle West.
Under the terrible fire of ques-

Prosecutor Horace G. Benson,
the woman writhed and quivered
and trembled and wept.

court were halted, she sobbed

Benson is perhaps the clever

working as surgeon would,

Benson laid the letters on the

These letters were written BY
