WOMAN INSANE WHEN
SHE KILLED HER SON
Counsel for Mrs. MeIber, on Trial on
Murder Charge, VIII Use This
Defense.

ALBANY, N. Y. March 1.-THE
trial OF Mrs. Edith Melber, charged
with killing her son, George, by fore
ing carbolic acid down his throat, will
be resumed Monday. The recital by
Chief Quigley, OF the Rochester police,
OF the woman's alleged voluntary con-
fession practically concluded the
prosecutions important testimony
and It is expected that the defense
will open Monday.
Chief Quigley said that Mrs. Mel.
ber had told him the boy asked for
a drink OF water and she handed him
the acid and when he refused TO drink
it, she forced II down his throat say
ing Goodbye son.!
The defense will try to prove insan-
ity and the conclusions drawn by
many who are closely watching the
trial are that the conditions which It
has been shown existed In her life
were such as might have unbalanced
her mind.

curdling letter he received in the mai

The missive Is full of red threats
and is punctuated and accentuatec
with many exclamation marks. II
portends to come from one OF the
most accomplished little Vendetta or
ganizations that event vendetted IN
Detroit.
Mr.. Ackerman is duly alarmed, but

some of them, and he forthwith raised

The letter follows: -
To the man Alderman:
You have insulted every Italian

DR.. G. X. Boyajian, now on trial for
the second time for killing his nep-

times cheerful during the Saturday
morning session, showing none OF the
emotion which characterized his attt-
tude on Friday, when he wept. He
listened intently to all the testimony
and only once, when q change In wit
nesses was being made, did he ap-
pear to be brooding and discouraged.
Capt. James Mcdonnell, head of the
detective bureau, was the chief wit
ness for the prosecution. He told Of
the meeting of Gostanian, Mrs. Boy
sjian and her husband In his office on
the afternoon of April 20, the day be-
fore the tragedy.

come down and to bring his wife with
him. The doctor and his wife came.
in my ONCE DR.. Boyajian asked Cos
tanian II he had been too friendly
with Boyajian's wife. and Gostanian
denied It. Then Mrs. Boyajian ad-
vised him to tell the truth, saying she
had told everything. After that Cos
tanian admitted the charge. broke
down and cried, and pleaded with the
doctor to be easy on him"
Attorney Hunt objected to the testi-
mony relating to the conduct Of Mrs.
Boyajian and Gostanian, but the court
allowed II, when the captain said the
defendant. DR.. Boyajian, was present
when the statements were made.
The captain then related that Mrs.
Boyajian told him that Gostanian
kind Of forced her to submit to him,
but that she afterwards associated
with him because she liked him, and
blamed the doctor for the situation
because he threw her and Gostanian
into each others company. The cap

Attorney Hunt again offered strenu-

claring that DR.. Boyajian was not
present when the statements were
said to have been made. Capt. Nc.
Donnell now admitted that the doctor
was absent when Mrs. Boyajian made
the remarks, whereupon Judge Con-
molly ordered the testimony stricken
from the record.
In ross-examination, the captain
said that DR.. Boyajian looked haggard
and pale and seemed very much ex-
cited on being brought from the po-
lice court to his ONCE after the shoot

the doctor threw his arms about the
