vary in any degree her narration of
the tragedy. Her composure was
unshaken by the Cross-eNaminatiOn
and moi once did she betray any evi
dence of indecisiOn or mental dis

ness in her own behalf.
The fact that the death penalty
will not be insisted upon by the state
was not a surprise. There has not
been woman condemned to death
since Mrs. Surrait's execution for con
spiracy to murder Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is understood among at
torneys that a verdict of capital pun
ishment is never to be expected from
a jury when woman is the defend
ant.
1t is n rare proof of chivalry that
a jury of | > men will never condemn
a woman to death.
Morning Session Rehku2ler.
Mrs. Rehkugler during the days
session sat quietly within the rail.
Beside her was her husband, Chris
Rehkugler, and Mrs. Charles f.
Schrader.
Few words were spoken by the
accused to her companion, but com
posed, and, apparently, little concern
ed. she watched closely the progress
of the trial. Each witness was scru-
tinized by her as he took the stand
and told his story of the shooting and
attending circumstances.

DR. Needham, using Mr.. McClintock
as model, explained to the jury

the bloody shirt and undershirt. Mrs.
Rehkugler seemed unmoved as these

to betray any emotion as the cloth
ing was identified by the doctor.
Waters wound was dressed by
the doctor, he said, and he was later
taken to the hospital.
At 4:30 that afternoon he found
the patient growing rapidly worse
with increasing symptoms of an in
ternal hemorrhage. An operation
was performed and the punctured
lobe of the liver was found by the
surgeons. Waters, said DR.. Needham,
never recovered consciousness. Death
came at $3.50 p. m.
DR.. Needham also swore to an au-

made at the instance of Coroner R. B.

determined their direction and ef-

A SORT or N0-MAN'S LAND
Right of Discovery Must Be
Perfected by Occupation,
Authority Says.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MeXican>
New York y. Y, March 9.-The
question OF whether Norway owns the
territory surrounding the South Pole
which has just neen discovered by
Captain Roald Amundsen, is being dis
cussed by authorities on international
law covering the ownership OF Arctic
and Antarctic lands.
Ever since 177S when Captain
Cooks expedition planted a flas i'll
the Antarctic, explorers of various ma
tons have carried the flags of their
countries to various points approach
ing the South Pole. 1t is generally be
lieyed the land in the Antarctic will
be regarded much in the same way as
Spitzbergen Archipelago which is in
habited by men Of various nations,
and now is regarded as a joint pos
session of all mankind
President John Bassett Moore, pro,
fessor of international law at Colum-
bia University. points out that leading
authorities have taken the position
that discovery alone does not suffice
to give good title to a new unoccupied
land and that tile customs of nations
for centuries crystalized into a part
of law Of nations that in order 10 per-
feet the right given by discovery it
must be followed by general occupa-
ton.
Professor Moore says that the task
Of effective occupancy of the territory
surrounding the South Pole would un-
doubtedly prove more difficult than its
discovery, and, that it was extremely
unlikely that the question of owner
ship would ever be brought up to the
joint commission on arbitration for
settlement.
