Mary Newman Roberts, sat with
bowed head today, as he heard him.
self assailed by witnesses and counsel
as the deceiver of two women--one
his dead wife and the other on trial as
her slayer. .,.. 81
DR.. r. E. Davies, the star witness
for the state, testified that he was
called to the home of Blanca Mills,
where Miss Lusk was rooming, on
the afternoon of June 2l, 1917, by a
telephone message from DR.. Roberts.
There he found Mrs. Roberts dead in
the parlor, with two bullet wounds in
her body. Going to rear stairway,
he started to ascend, but was halted
by a voice declaring sharply:
"Stop, you must not come up here"
Statement Dictated by Slayer.
Looking up, he testified, he saw
Miss Lusk standing at the head Of the
stairs with a pistol in her right hand
and her left hand covering widening
stain on her white waist from a
wound near her heart. Refusing to al
low him to come up to treat her, she
dictated the following statement:
"Dr. Roberts told me again and
again that he loved me and only me.
He said that he and HE vile never
cared for each other. He swore that
he would tell her before June Is, and
swore on a Bible. told him that If he
did not care for me, we would end il
all. Last night he told me again that
he loved ME. I told him that he must
tell her, as it was the only honorable
way. This morning called him on
the telephone and he told me he had
told his wife that l had been chasing
him and that / was the dafndest fool
that ever lived. She called me every
name-every name. ! loved him so
dearly" ..

Later, DR.. Davis said, she asked
him if the wound she had inflicted on
herself was through the heart. He
replied that it was not and she then
felt for the beating OF her heart. with
her left hand, and, raising the pistol,
fired again. ,
When DR.. Davies reached her side,
he asked her why she had shot Mrs.
Roberts and believing she was dying,
she replied:

TRENCHES CAPTURED.

TRENCHES CAPTURED.
Both the Vienna and Rome official
statement tell of bitter fighting on
this particular front. the latter stating
that the italian soldiers have entered
Austrian trenches on Monte Asolone,
in two places.
The fact that the Italian armies
have taken the initiative in the fight
ing would seem to indicate that they
have sought to carry the fight to the
enemy in such a way as to break up
any arrangements for the launching
of a strong Teutonic assault. This
has many precedents in the present
war, strong offensive at a threat
ened point being considered the best
defense under certain circumstances.
While the fighting has been very,
fierce east of the Brenta, the whole
Italian line from Lake Garda to the
Piave and thence to the sea has been
marked by patrol engagements,
which appear to be isolated actions,
but which may be component parts
OF 4 plan Of campaign III that thcater
Of the war. Nowhere have the Ital-
ian lines been reached BY attacking
parties Of Austrians.
American Gunners Busy.
In Flanders and Picardy only
heavy artillery fire has marked the
fighting during the last day. Ameri-l
can gunners have been at work in
the general bombardment that has
been going on and have again set
buildings in Montdidier in flames.
There have been many patrol en-
gagements.
A daring raid on the Austrian ma
val base at Pola has been made by
Italian units, and an Austrian battle
ship of the 10000 ton type has been
destroyed. The Italian naval forces
were aided by an aerial squadron.
1t has been announced from Wash-
ington that an official order has been
issued by the soviet government Of
Russia calling for the formation OF
an army that will fight for the se-
curity of the Russian republic, which
has been menaced by the aggression
of the Germans.
