DEFENSE BEGINS
FINAL PLEA To

Wisconsin and Chicago.
Always she found her companions
in her books and in the society OF the
learned and moral" said Clancey.
"She was as pure in Milwaukee and
in Chicago as she was in Menominee
Falls and Mosinee. Her training was
to fit her as a great teacher. She
was not training her mind to become
siren and a wrecker of homes"
He then told of the first attack OF
headaches which Miss Lusk had and
the neuritis which for some time
robbed her OF the use OF her arms.
Always there were the little signs
that physicians read as tokens of
mental disease" said CIancey.
Was SupersensItiVe.
''She laughed and cried alternately.
She was supersensitive. DesJite this
handicap, she struggled on.
"She won a place in the States edu-
cational forces so important that she
was sent to Europe to study and re-
port on school conditions there.
do you think she could have been
one of those bediXened sirens and
have done that? Do you think that
in such a spotless life the smaller
speck would not have been seen and
brought here by the State?
mo, gentlemen, Grace Lusk kept
her honor as high as her ideals"
at is impossible that such a woman
could have been here on trial today
as the taker of human life and as a
self-destroyer unless the mind was
diseased.
Gentlemen, to such affairs and TO
witnesses such as have appeared here
you are charged to apply your human
understanding, your knowledge OF
men and women.
Pure And Virtuoua.
Grace came to Waukesha as a
pure a d virtuous woman. She re-
mAined here for two years recuperst-
ing.
~nen she ran across the trail OF
the 0eEpent. What sort OF a serpent

oyer the country as a manufacturer Of
patent medicines. He wore a diamond as

PROSECUTION CALL
HER CAVE WOMAN.

pass for man" said Attorney Lock
ney, quoting Shakespeare in his sum-
mary of DIR. Roberts. And welding
a very capable scalpeI he proceeded
to dissect the man in the case.
II Grace LUsk is still in love with
the veterinarian, as some of her
stanchest supporters seem to think,
it was her fate to hear him pilloried
as few men have been pllloried in a
court OF justice.
Early and Bitter Struggles
Mr.. Lockney told OF her early and
bitter struggles, her exemplary life,
and the acquaintance which had been
entirely OF the veterinarians seeking,
under the guise of literary cOllabor-
alton.
And Grace Lusk, with that tired
smile and her weary eyelids, listened
as she might have listened to another
woman's story. In her heart OF hearts
did she sentence the girl they were
trying, or did she acqJit her? Per
haps she was sentencing the social
system that would make such a
climax possible after the long uphill
struggle OF those early years.
Waste, waste, waste-that is what
the cruel summing up of the Lusk
trial seems to me, after nearly two
weeks spent in the court room.
II she is to receive the heavy SEN
tence that even the most hopeful OF
her friends seem to expect, I, for one,
am heartily sorry that she did not
have a more joyous youth.
wish there had not been those
German lessons with the Lutheran
pastor, nor French lessons with the
Berlitz gentleman, nor the fourteen
mile drives for examinations. I wish
she had had a normal youth and
fallen in love with some nice man
who would have appreciated and mar
ried her.

In assailing DR.. Roberts, Mr.. Lock-
ney reviewed Miss Lusk's life, and
declared that such a woman would be
incapable Of the acts alleged II she
were sane
"On the eve OF the tragedy" Mr..
Lockney declared. "the testimony
shows that Miss Lusk told DR.. Roberts
II he cared more for his wife than
he did for her that would end it all.
but that he assured her that he did
care for her and promised TO tell his
wife that night. What he really told
his wife was that Miss Lusk was in
fatuated with him. II he had taken
the right course even at that late
date the shooting might have been
prevented, as Mrs. Roberts probably
would not have sought the interview
with the defendant which ended in
her death"

Lusk smilingly heard Prosecutor
TulIar demand that she be imprison-
ed for life as a murderer in the nrst

It was a most unexpected reversal
of spirits the slayer OF Mrs. Mary
Newman Roberts displayed to the
crowded court room. The prosecu-
tors implied hint in his quotation
from the Bible: Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's house." did not
disturb her outward calm. Through
what was expected to be the school
teachers most trying ordeal when At
torney TullaT trampled over the de-
Tense insanity plea, she toyed with
a big red rose and with letters. smiI-

'She had ten months to rehearse il
in" Tullar said OF her testimony
that DR.. David Roberts love treach-
cry drove her insare and led to the
shooting of his wife.
Henry Lockney, for the defense,
assailed DR.. Roberts as ''the man who
might have prevented the shooting
Of his wife, but did not"
The story told by the veterinarian
on the witness stand. his repeated
declarations that Miss Lusk pursued
hint, slapped him in the face when he
refused TO say that he cared more
for her than he did for his wife, and
threatened to kill him unless he told
his wife the truth and asked for his
freedom, was quoted as proof that

LONDON, Oct. l2.-The efficiency of wireless telegraphy has been enor- mously increased during the war. a scmi-OfiCial statement issued by the Royal Aair Force says. In particular, great progress has been made in send ing wireless messages from aircraft.
 In 1914 various difficulties restricted the use of wireless in conjunction with airplanes. Most of these have been overcome and the use of wireless communications from the air has been in all military operations.
 Without the assistance of wireless the use of airpanes could never have been developed so fully as 1t is now. Artillery observation" by airplane fig among the most profitable of all the uses of aircraft
