Chicago today IL she looked for
them. She could find no less
than 16 women who have been
charged with murder of hus-
bands OF lovers, who have been
'headliners" In sensational MUIR
der trails, who have played the
role of "wronged woman who
knew the trick of the wistful eye
and the stricken deer" attitude
in the witness pox, played them
all for all they were worth and
won freedom from a jury sworn
to administer justice without con-
sideration of women's tears or
women's wistful eyes.
You can't hang a woman in
Cook county, you can't even keep
a woman murderer in JAIL" says
stephen A. Malato, who prose-
cuted Nellie Higgs for the state.
"A woman can kill at her pleas
ure in this CITY," grimly asserted
the states attorney, "and IL she
casts wistful eyes at the jury
that tries her. IL she can bring
sobs enough into the story of her
wrongs she can walk out of the
courtroom, free to go her way, a
shining example TO all other weak
women of vicious tendencies,
living reminder to them of how
easy IL is to get rid Of an unde-
sirable husband OF lover"
Beginning with Dora Melon
aid, wife of the notorious gam
bier. Mike" Mcdonald, who was
acquitted ten years ago of the
murder of her lover, Walter
Guerin, Chicago turies have ae-
quilted IT women charged with
the murder of men. OF these. IL
admitted the charge of killing,
but pleaded extenuating eircum-
stances. Five denied the murder
charge. They were all acquitted
after sensational trials, in which
tears, pitiful tales of abuse and
of wrongs that were never rfghted
by the men they killed, played a
bigger part than the states plea
for justice.
An hour after Nellie Higgs
whirled away from the county
jail in an automobile. free of the
charge of murder, Mrs. Edward
Blake was arrested. She ID held
until the police Investigate the
death of her husband. II IL be
lieved that she poisoned him SO
that she might collect his insur-
anee and marry another man.
