As Seen by Prosecution
in Trial Of Mrs. Ms|ber.
Relationship Of Accused Woman
With Schenectady Man.
Defence Will Attempt to Prove the
Weakened Mental Powers,

Albany, y. Y, March 12-With the
resumption tomorrow of the trial of
Mrs. Edith Melber, charged with the
murder of her son George, the prose-
cution Will continue its efforts to prove
that the woman was aware of what
she was doing when she left the boy
lying dead in a lonely swamp near
this city after killing him with car
bolic acid, as alleged.
A pair of little soiled shoes, plain and
strong, the sort that are doled out to
children in charitable institutions, lie
on the table in the court room. con-
stantly before the eyes of the jury.
They have been identified by Mrs.
Smith, tho grand aunt of the dead
boy. as the shoes he had on when he
left her house in Schenectady with his
mother the last time the aunt saw him
alive. They indicate. according to the
prosecution, that Mrs. Melber, when
she killed her son, was capable of APP
probation of the enornity of her act.
She thought, the prosecution holds, the
body probably would keep hidden un-
til the winter months had destroyed
all traces of identification but she
must destroy tell tale clues so she took
off the shoes and hid them. She did
this. according to the prosecution, be-
cause the shoes were of the kind that
would direct the detectives to every
institution in the country to seek
missing boy in the event of the discov-
cry of the body.
In Mrs. Melbers relations with How
ard Kirk, Il Schenectady admirer, and
her alleged hope that he would marry
her if she could rid herself of the child.
the district attorney believes the mo-
tive of the crime lies.
This is the fabric the defence must
tear apart if they are to convince the
jury that Mrs. Melber was incapable of
approaching what she was doing when
she killed her son. The Jurors, who
range in age from q to So years, are
all married and all but one have chill
dren of their own.
The defence. it is believed, will en-
deaver to prove that her lack of early
training and home influences, her be-
ing left to shift for herself at the age
of 13: her subsequent battles with
poverty and illness, her marriage to a
consumptive husband: her experience
in the poor house; the birth of George
after her release and her husbands
death, followed by the constant strug-
gle to support the boy and herself.
were sufficient to have weakened her
mental powers and render her irres-
ponsihe.
A battle of alenists is looked for be-
fore the trial ends but whether Mrs.
Melber will be sworn has not been in
Dictated.

seelHo practically certain that Liberia
has been saved. The financial cloud
which recently hung 50 thrcatenlngly
over the country has been lifted at
last and Il clear horizon can be viewed
The visit of Roland p Faulkner fl
nancial representative to Monrovia
during the recent fession Of the iegis-
lgture, served to bring about this
agreeable condition. He remained only
q days, Yet in that space Of time he
cleaned up all the local obstacles
which were in the way Of obtaining the
much-nocded loan.
There %ete three main barriers In
the proposed loan: The adjustment OF
tire i[anre I.ahun question with Eng
land, TIL" ratification Of the new
boundary delimitation treaty with
Franco, and the reform II the judicial
system Of Liberia. 70 settle these
questions WAS the purpose of the ViiSt
of Mr.. Falkner.
At luncheon given by President
Barclay. 1t which many senators and
representatives We're present, Mr..
Falkner took occasion T. drive home
plain and unpleasant truths regarding
the Liberian situation with special
reference 10 the condition of the credit
of Liberia in the money markets of
the world. That credit he said. was
zero, and would remain zero if the
legislature did not at once settle the
three threatening questiuns&
There was no further hesitation on
the part Of the legislature. as there
was no other alternative for Liberia
should the proposed loan fall through.
