SAY MAN is MODERN
DR.. JEKYLl AND Mr. HYDE
Prisoner Is Placed On Trial On
Charge of Killing
Woman.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 3D.
Bertram G. Spencer. accused by the
police OF being a modern Or Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde" was placed on trial
here today on the charge OF murder
ing Miss Martha ID. Blackstone, who
was shot TO death by masked burg
lar on the night of March 81, 1910.
More than 200 veniremen were sum-
moned by Judge John c. Crosby.
II is believed Spencer's defense will
be that of insanity. for the police
claim TO have a signed confession.
One of the most unique features
ever used in a murder trial was the
introduction OF photograph TO rec
ord the testimony.
The arrest OF Spencer created a
sensation in Massachusetts for he
was regarded as a sterling young
business man. The police allege that
he was respectable citizen by day
and criminal by night
His arrest was the elimination OF
a two-year reign OF terror by lone
bandit, who. masked, entered homes
az night and held up the occupants
with a revolver. On the night OF
hdIGu 81. nlso bldCkStOht was Nloit-
ing the Dow family, on fashionable
Round Hill. The women were sit
ting in the living room when a mask
ed man confronted them with a re-
volver. One OF the women screamed
and the bandit commenced firing.
Miss Blackstone was killed and Miss
Harriet Dow shot in the head, but re-
covered.
Private detectives finally arrested
Spencer on the slenderest of clues.
A picture bearing the initials b. G..
s." had been found several weeks be-
fore the murder in the yard of a
home where the masked burglar had
been surprised climbing through a
window. Enlargements OF the photo
graphs proved that they were like
resses of Spencer's sister and another
relative. He was arrested and the
search OF his home, where he lived
with his wife and baby, revealed
thousands OF dollars worth of Jewelry,
which later was identified by various
citiler5 Of Springfield whose homes
had been robbed
After Spencer's arrest, Il was de-
clared his mind was affected and he
was sent 70 the state insane asylum
