smile. and hasty. almost buoyant steps,

about TO be ended

her short appearance before the Cor

Dr. otto II. Schultze. Coroner's Physi-

The first definite expression of the
prosecutions views as to how Ballou
met his death was given when the in
dictment charging Mrs. Angle with

charge that Mrs. Angle struck Ballou
with her fist. knocking him down the
stairs and causing the crushing blow at
the back of HE head which resulted in
death.
