GILLIGAN CASE
GOES TO JURY

Hartford. July l2.-sClosing argu-
ment for the state in the trial of Mrs.
Amy f. ARCHER GiHigan for the al
legged murder of Franklin r. Andrews
was made ibf State Attorney Hugh M
Alcorn today. It was expected that
the charge to the jury by Judge Gar
diner Greene would consume a large
part of the afternoon session with the
probability that the case would go to
the jury late in the day.
Powerful argument of the states
case was made by the. state attorney
At the close of Mr.. Alcorn's summing
up Judge. Greene Informed the jury
that as he should have to charge them
at considerable length, if he began at
ter the luncheon hour the jury would
not get the case until late in the day
for a consideration OF; the verdict Ac-
corddngiy he had decided to excuse
the jury until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning when he will deliver his
charge.
Mr.. AIcorn's argument was a keen
analysis of the evidence and a linking
together Of the chain Of circum-
stances which he claimed proved
Mrs. Gilligan guilty of murder in the
first degree.
During Mr.. Alcorn's plea, Mrs Gill;
gan showed much agitation and when
the attorney asked impressively was
she insane the woman cried out
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!' Her daugh-
ter, Mary Archer. slipped an arm
around her mother. Mrs. Gilligan
wept for several minutes.
There is no case in the annals of
Connecticut that matches this in i'm
portance,'' said Mr.. Alcorn in closing.
''All the facts and circumstances
prove the accused guilty of the foulest
of murders. I have done my duty.
Gentlemen, ask you only to do
yours
The court room was filled with spec
tators among them 80 to 40 lawyers.
