Rabena had inhaled smoke and

hardly touched by the flames.
The little girl attempted 10 rouse

PROSECUTOR CALLS
GIRL MASTER MIND
OF MAN SHE KILLED

COLUMBUS. OHIO, Nov. 2z.-Holding
her up as "Zollner's master mind" and
demanding that the full penalty OF the law
be imposed upon Miss Cecilia Farley, on
trial for her life for the alleged murder of
Alvin e. Zollinger, an advertising solic-
itor, in Franklin park, last May. Assis-
tant Prosecutor John 6. Price addressed
the jury today in behalf of the state. He
hurled repeated denunciatiOns al the
young defendant, charging that she had
a mission to perform at Franklin park,
and that mission was to prevent Zoll-
ger from telling the real story of her life
to her sweetheart END fance, Jerome
Quigley."
That the alleged murder was deliberate
and premeditated was the charge of At
torney Price He outlined evidence to
show that Miss Farley had the revolver
and cartridges purchased for her only a
few days previous to the tragedy and
that she had inserted the cartridges into
the cylinder of the revolver only five
minutes before she and Zollinger had
left the office building where she was
employed for the scene of the shooting.
He also attacked the version given by
the defense of the relations that had eX-
listed for nearly ten years between the
defendant and zoninger. He charged that
Miss Farley had of her own free will
continued improper relations with collin
ger, and in support of this referred to
evidence relating to a meeting between
them on a train coming from Cleveland
to Columbus, when the second offense was
committed
The case will probably go to the jury
late today.
Attorney James A. Allen, for the de-
Tense, began his address by quoting the
thirty sixth verse seventh chapter of
First Corinthians, as follows:
But If any man think that he be-
haveth himself uncomely toward his
virgin, if she pass the flower Of her
age, and need so require, let him do
what he will, he sinneth not, let him
marry"
