tContinued from page one.) prove an alibi for herself were lies. Lies conceived by one old and school ed in crime" was the declaration of Fickert.
 "The defendants in these bomb cases know how to fix and frame an alibi, he continued.
 This is the most important case that has ever been tried before an American court, not excepting the trial of that associated with the immortal Lincoln," continued Fickert. This defendant and her anarchists, in the time of peace and tranquility, mur- dered 10 men and women and maimed 50 people because they were bent on destroying the very government which Lincoln preserved and defended and for which he gave his life"
 Against SentimentaIism
 Fickert asked the jury to "cast away all maudlin sentimentalities that have been indulged in because the defend ant is a woman"
 Tt is important that the death pen alty for anarchy be issued out of this court" he said. "The defendant is not only condemned by the testimony of disinterested witnessed-but she is damned by the perfidy of her anar- chistic co-conspirators."
 Fickert said Mrs. Moneys hand bag contained mo innocent powder puff but contained bullets" Books on dynamite instead of books of child hood and prayer were found in her apartment, said Fickert.
 Was Mrs. Surratt"
 He declared Mrs. Mooney was the Mrs Surratt" of thesbo conspiracy and that she should pay the penalty flor the blood that has been shed, as Mrs. Surratt was made to pay the penalty for the death of Lincoln"
 Berkman at Head
 Alexander Berkman was at the head of this anarchistic conspiracy" said Fickert. He called Berkman the arch-anarchist of the United States. In the course of his argument Fickert attacked the alibi testimony offered by Mrs Mooney, who as a witness in her own defense recently described her movements on the day of the bomb explosion. The prosecutor said that Mrs. Mooney and her husband, Thom- as J. Mooney, under sentence of death for one of the bomb murders, could have left their apartment at 1:25 P. n. or 1:30 D. m., deposited the suit case at the scene of the explosion and have returned to the roof of the build ing in which they lived by 1: 50 D. ID. The explosion occurred more than mile from the Moneys apartments at 2.06 D. m. An automobile traveling at the rate of 15 miles az hour would have taken the Mooneys from the scene of the explosion to their resi- dence in four minutes, Fickert said.
 Evidence contradicted
 Reputable witnesses saw the Moon eys and Billings at a point on Market street about a mile from the scene of the explosion" said Fickert. "Bil- lings was carrying a suitcase contain ing the bomb at this point half an hour before the explosion occurred.
 "Other reputable witnesses saw suitcase on the sidewalk at the scene of the explosion. It is folly for the defense to claim the bomb was hurled through the air. One witness saw Billings place the suitcase"
 "5last" in Evidence
 Robert Minor. treasurer of the h. Workers Defense league, which has been active in Mrs. Moon. ey's defense, testified as a rebuttal state witness today that he had drawn several cartoons for the Blast, the publication of which Alexander Berk- man was the editor. Through the Blast the state contended, the conspiraLors spread their anarchistic propaganda.
 Fickert declared in his argument that Minor was the paymaster of The Anarchistic Crew." Fickert will con tinue his argument tomorrow and Maxwell McNutt will open for the de- fense. It was expected the case viii reach the jury Saturday.
