la history have such scenes been
enacted as during this present trial.
When the jurymen were sent to their

ciudlng women, surrounded them, and
extra deputies and policemen had diff

Bitter Denunciation.
Prosecutor Hanlan yesterday after.

following denunciation of the defend

lection. Give her back to her chill
dren that she may contaminate and
degrade them with her presence? MY
God, gentlemen, you know this wom-
an is guilty as hell itself and there
is but one place for her.

mas ever been my lot as a lawyer to
come into contact with was when
this woman looked upon the murder
of her husband in the cold blooded
light of simple Business PROPOSE

fered another $1,000 to do her vile

fiendishly she asked the woman of
whom she would have made a tool,
to place poisoned medicine beside
her unsuspecting husbands bedside

light of the sick room in the night

"But even this was not the climax
of the fiendishness of that woman sit.

husband was lying at the point of
death, who were going about on their

acme of all, a foul-mouthed harpy'
