MAY TAKE WEEK
TO END TRIAL
Counsel for Mrs. Anna Felch Planning TO
Put in a Mass of
Testimony.

Chelsea, June 25.-When Orange coun-
ty court reeonyened this afternoon at ,
o'clock the second week of the trial Of
Mrs. Anna Felch was under way. Drs.
B. H. Stone and G, +. Whitney of the
state laboratory of hygiene in Burling-
ton, testified for the state before the
week end recess was taken at noon Sat
urday and it is believed here that the
state may rest by Tuesday evening.
This is merely surmise and those who
have followed carefully the proceedings
against the accused, who is charged with
the murder of her husband, Joseph Felch
of Topsham, will not be surprised if an
other. week elapses before the case goes
to the jury. Counsel for Mrs. Felch has
intimated that some time will be con.
sumed in putting in the defense, al.
though there is feeling that closing
arguments may begin Friday in time to
finish before court takes its recess Sat.
urday noon.
The week of ordeal does not appear to
have told on Mrs. Felch When not in
court she spends much of her time with
knitting needles and in embroidering in
her room at the county Jail. Since her
Friday, when the two physi-
,ians, Dr. Stone and Dr. Rowland, were
she has regained her COM
,osure entirely.

House

Boston, june 25-The body of an Ital-
ian was found to-day in lodginghouse
in the west end district with the throat
cut from ear TO ear, the heart removed,
and the body otherwise mutilated The
victim was one of four men who came
here last week from New York, describ-

body was identified by Edward Etleston,
a waiter, as one of party of four by
whom he was attacked and robbed last
night.
The proprietor of the lodginghouse
heard the men quarreling during the
night, and the police theory is that they
had a row over the division OF the SIS
stolen from the waiter.
