the defense of Grace Lusk, on trial
charged with the murder of his
wife.
AS to Miss Lusk's mental condi-

anything unusual about it.
Did you consider her perfectly
normal?" he was asked
Il considered her mentally nor
NAL except when she was angry,
he replied.
Did her anger cause her to lose
control of herself?"
Yes, ! believe it did at times"
Mrs. Roberts?"
Il think that she did"
Morris s. Tuller. district attor-
ney, called to the stand as a wit
ness by the state, testified that he
saw Miss Lusk at the hospital
shortly after the tragedy and asked
her why she had shot Mrs. Roberts.
Because she called me such aw-
full names" the witness said she
told him, and that then she added,
Il can see why shot Mrs. Roberts
but | cannot see why | did it so
deliberately"
According to Mr. TuIler, she ad
mitted her relations with DR..
Roberts.
Several letters introduced as evil

stains, indicating that she had han
died them Immediately after she
had shot Mrs. Roberts and herself.
One letter said:
Il should have known better than

known that men have one code of
honor for the women they love and
another for the women to whom

AGAINST FOE
IN FLANDERS
Haig Advances Line After
French Push Ahead
on Big Front.

London. May 21.-NOrthwest
OF MeryilIe, in the Flanders sa-
lient, the BridSh improved
their positions last night, the
war OITice announced.
Thirty prisoners and six ma
chine guns were taken by the
British in this operation. A
counter attack on the new posi-
tiOns. left unchanged this morn
ing. after a period OF heavy
sheiling. was crushed by the
British artillery nd machine
guns.
The statement says:
A successful local operation
was carried out by troops of the
Surrey battalion yesterday evening
northwest OF Meryille. A reentrant
in our line in this sector was closed
up and 80 prisoners and six ma
chine guns were taken by US.
Early this morning, a hostile
counter attack against the new po-
sitions. delivered after a heavy bonn
bardment. was broken up by our
artillery and machine gun fire.
Artillery Firing Heavy.
We carried out a successful raid
last night southeast of Arras and
brought back a few prisoners and
a machine gun from the enemy's
trenches.
During the night, the hostile ar
tillery was active in the Albert sec
tor, about Hebuterne between the
forest of Nieppe and Meteren, and
more active than usual between the
Scarpe Iiver and hill 70. north
of Lenss The gas shelling re-
ported to have taken place yester-
day north OF Bethune, was heavy
(By Associated Press.}
Delay in the launching of the ex-
pected German offensive apparently
is giving the allied troops little
concern. as they improve their po-
sitions here and there by strong
local attacks. Whether the Ger
mans are prepared TO renew the
heavy fighting is not yet clear, but
strangely they do not react against
the Anglo-French nibbling tactics
French Gain on Big Front.
On the Lys front, between Mont
KENNEL and the heights of Mont
Rouge and Scherpenberg, the
French have greatly improved their
positions in a forward movement
along a front of two miles. Not
only were important gains made,
but more than 400 German prison
ers were captured. The enemy has
vet made no counter attack there
nor has he made any effort to re-
take the village of Ville-Sur-Ancre
on the SOmme front, captured in a
gallant attack by the Australians
Sunday.
British Strengthen Line.
The British, for their part in the
strengthening of the Flanders posi-
ton, carried out an operation last
evening in which they cleared out
small German salient that pro-
jected into their lines northwest of
Merville, near Nieppe wood, where
the Germans rush toward the Haze
brouck railway junction was stop
ped in last months offensive. The
enemy evidently regarded the
ground as of marked value, for this
morning he delivered a sharp Coun-
ter attack. II was entirely unsuc-
cessful. however. being broken up
b. the British artillery and ma
chine gun fire.
