u A lphotograpber snaAasds shess casual,
FIy, IT being his business to get as
many news pictures of her as possible
His plate reveals what no carefully
posed studio photograph could have
jbettered- ideal illustration for the
familiar lines:
ITO me the meanest flower that
a. blows can give ~
Thoughts that do often lies too
deep for tears ~ ~
j. Who can help wondering what are
thevdepths Of the thoughts which the
humblest7 of blossoms aroused in
Grace Lusk's mind?
Miss Lusk seems not intimately con-
cerned with the usual pitiless criti'
cisms of society. When first accused
of a liaison with DR.. David Roberts
she is said to have declared, in sub
stance, that her personal emotions
were not a public concern. She has
sometimes seemed to assume an atti'
tude of superiority to the ordinary
humiliations which an average wom'
an, similarly placed, would weep over.
Neglecting, then, regret and resent
ment and other meditati0ns of an OBJ
vious nature, there remain two which
cannot fail to harrass woman OF
ideals thus suddenly dishonored.
The first is a feeling of complete
surprise, of perpetual astOnishment
Each morning, as Grace Lusk opens
her eyes to the light Of new day,
she must ask herself how 1t comes
that she, a girl we'll born we'll edu'
Gated, finds herself defendant in a
murder case? Surely no one in the
world can be more mystified over her
tragic position than she is herself.
And beside this ceaseless amaze
ment at her present state, must there
not lie deep in this woman's mind
too deep for tears-a great CONFUSION
concerning her conduct? Whether or
not she is guilty Of the crime charged
she must find many of the steps which
brought her to trial now quite unex'
plainable even to herself
Was theer never place to trun
back, never slipped step to re-
cover? Does she see Love 40
Nemesis working inevitably, mex
orabIy to her disiIIusionment and
dishonor? Society denied her love
a riaht to exist. Does she now see
society as an unacceptable avenser
of its broken conventions. whom
no woman can ever successfully
defy?
Perhaps the little dandelion which
Grace Lusk holds upright in her tight
fingers tells her that love itself Is
oddly like the gay and commonplace
blossom, today a thing Of golden glad
ness-never too particular about
where it lives so long as it can laugh
while it lives-and tomorrow globe
of gossamer, the wrath of flower,
destined to be shattered and tossed
to the vagrant wind.
Whatever its message, the thoughts
that lie too deep for Grace Lusks
tears would make a convincing preach
ment for any girl who is ever tempt
ed to balance al her world against
an irregular love.

Woukesha Wis, May 25.-Grace
Lusk, after testifying she could re-
member nothing regarding the killing
of Mrs Mary Newman Roberts for
which she is now on trial, was forced
to admit on cross examination today
that she had sought to keep her re-
lations with Dr. David Roberts secret
for more than two years.
Warned Veterinarian.
She admitted she had warned the
veterinarian to be careful in talking
with her on the telephone, that she
had sent him letters in care Of his
secretary that she had on one oc-
casion urged him to register under a
fictitious name with her at a Chicago
hotel, and that they had mutual
agreement that their letters should be
unsigned and should be destroyed as
soon as they were read. Miss Lusk
'also admitted that she had lied" in
several statements made in unmailed
letters to Mrs. Roberts regarding her
intimacy, with Dr.. Roberts.
Although she could remember moth
ing regarding the actual shooting OF
Mrs. Roberts and declared she never,
never, never" intended to do it; she
admitted she had a clear recollection
of events imm ediately before and after
the tragedy She declared Mrs. Rob
erts has threatened to have her driven
out of town and had likened her to a
dog and woman OF the streets.

O fusing it later to take her own life.
She had no recollection of firing the
first sot int oher body but fired the
second because she no longer cared to
live after being told that Mrs. Roberts
was dead. Miss Lusk testified on
cross examination that the first time
she had urged that Mrs. Roberts be
told the trhth was on May 18, 1917.
little more than month before the
tragedy. She had previously testified
that when she asked the doctor to do
this he had refused and she had struck
him in the face Then she said that
she prepared to take her own life, but
after a meeting with the veterinarian
in a Milwaukee hotel on June l, he
told her that he cared more for her
than he did for his wife and she then
made him swear on bible with a pis
tol directed at his head to tell all.
Depart on Trip.
DR.. Roberts and his wife early in
June departed for trip through the
east, returning to Waukesha the night
of June 20. Miss Lusk went to their
home she said, and the doctor ac-
companied her back through the park
She said that he told her that he cared
for her. that he had not yet told his
wife but would that night. The next
day Mrs. Roberts made an appoint
ment with her but failed to keep il
and instead came to Miss Lusk's home
that afternoon. The shooting fol-
