WEALTHY DEFENDANT TO
PLEAD EMOTIONAL INSANITY

CHICAGO, Feb. 20--Willam Chen
ey Ellis, who played the leading role
IN "a domestic tragedy more gripping
than any of the seasons problem
the murder of his wife, Eleanor whom
he shot and then cruelty slashed in
the fashionable Hotel Sherman on Oc-
tober IS, 1913. Ellis is wealthy
harness manufacturer, formerly Of
Cincinnati, was represented today by
Attorney George Remus. The defense
will be emotional insanity. A livid
scar across his throat and two jag
ged, white marks upon his wrists, he
said, were the only evidence he had
to recall what happened in the hotel
suite the morning of the killing.
81 wouldn't care what happened to
me if it weren't for the children" abs
been his constant statement since he
was transferred from hospital to
the county Jail. There are two lit
tie girls, and | want to live long
enough to make some provision for
them"
Two lines Of evidence, both tending
to support the emotional insanity de-
fense, will be offered by the defense,
was indicated when court opened to-
day. One will be Ellis own state
,napt tb.t ho ,i;rcnyaraJ Hi, ,.,;fo MA,
in love with another man and that
this knowledge so crazed him that he
planned her murder. The other, per-
haps used for the first time in a
murder trial in this country, will seek
to show the probable effect Witness
ing the powerful eugenics play "Dam-
aged Goods would have upon the
brain of man, who according to ply
sicians is diseased as was the princi-
pal figure in the Brieux drama.
Mrs. Ellis came to Chicago from
Cincinnati several days preceding the
murder and went TO the home of
friends. Ellis arrived two days later
rather unexpectedly. They then made
trips down town to cafes and to the
theaters. On the night of October
Ii they saw Damaged Goods" then
in its first weeks run in Chicago and
the topic of universal comment.
AS if to neutralize its horrifying
scenes they went the next night to
see performance of "The Road to
Happiness" rural drama that cpl
tomized domestic happiness.
On the following morning, house
detective hurried to the Ellis suite at
the Hotel Sherman, overlooking the
city hall. He went in response to a
frightened voice over the telephone
and bursting in the door discovered
Ellis, half-conscious, leaning against
a chair, with blood gushing from a
wound in his neck and two slashes
across his wrists. Mrs Ellis lay dead
in bed, gaping wound in her neck
and two bullet holes in her breast.
The first police theory was that it
was suicide pact and Ellis unintel-
ligent answers to questions supported
it. Later, confronted with evidence
showing that his wife could not have
killed herself from the nature Of the
wounds, Ellis confessed, and in a
broken voice cried out that his wife
had been unfaithful to him, that she
came to Chicago to meet lover from
a Canadian city and that when he OBJ
tanned evidence Of her unfaithfulness
he followed her to Chicago, feted her
like bridegroom on honeymoon
and then deliberately killed her.
At the coroner's inquest, Ellis
caused a sensation by springing tc
his feet and dramatically declaring
