gene Z. Herman, President OF the

the witness stand to-day while being
cross examined. Justice Davis df the
criminal Branch OF the Supreme
Court, before whom the case Is being
tried. declared a recess. and himself
was the first to render her aid. Mrs.
Herman was revived quickly and
continued on the stand this afternoon.
Mrs. Herman had told OF a wom-
Ian's voice she heard over the telc-
phone, informing her she could get
,evidence for divorce. william j.
IFallon. Mrs. Inch's counsel. turned a
fire OF questions on Mrs Herman,
particularly regarding her statement
that she had recognized the voice as
that OF Mrs. Inch.
II heard her testify at the last trial"
said Mrs. Herman. "A thing like
this does not happen every day. can
never forget It,"
Mrs. Herman leaned heavily
against the witness box and suddenly
became unconscious.
Joseph W. Davis jr.. an architect.
the first witness called. testified that
the screen in the woman's parlor OF
the Hotel Woodward is SO situated
that detectives hiding behind 1t might
easily hear a conversation carried on
in the parlor II was in the parlor OF
this hotel that Herman declares Mrs.
Inch accepted the S215 in marked
money.
The opening moments of the trial
We're enlivened when District Attorney
Talley presented an affidavit asking
the removal of one OF the jurors. The
affidavit read:
Herman followed his wife on the
witness stand.
Immediately after Juror No. 8,
who is Benjamin w. Wells OF No.
G7 West 18th street, took his seat
in the box yesterday, I observed he
began talking TO himself in an ami
mated manner. He constantly closed
his eyes, but at other times rolled
them about wildly. At times he ap-
peared to be deeply absorbed in
prayer. 1 do not believe the Court
desires such Juror"
Newspaper reporters also called this
matter to the attention of Mr.. Talley,
he explained TO Judge Davis. The
Judge summoned William ]. Fallon,
attorney for Mrs. Inch, to the bar, and
read hi mthe affidavit. Attorney Fal-
lon objected strenuously. but Judge
Davis excused Juror Wells from fur
ther duty in the box and the man who
talked to himself left court quietly.

Jury MAY DECIDE
MORTIMER CASE
BEFORE TONIGHT
Judge Tells Them They Must
BE Convinced Young Woman
Drove CarcleSSly.

Justice Aspinall Of the Long
Island Supreme Court consumed
forty-flve minutes to-day in charging
the jury in the case Of Miss Edith
Mortimer. charged with manslnughter
because her automobile killed Nathan
wasscrbcrger on oct ~ al Flushing.
The verdict may be reached before
night.
Judge Aspinnll said:
at matters not what Murray may
or may not have done II. at the time
Of the accident. Miss Mortimer op-
Grated her car rccklessiy, wantonly
and without regard to safety" (Mur-
ray was the chauffeur OF n truck
which is said 10 have struck Miss
Mortimcr's machine before she killed
Wasse rberger)
"If you find" continued Judge As
pinall. that the defendant had her
car under control and was operating
Il with reasonable care as shc ap-
preached Linden Avenue and that
when she saw the truck coming out
OF Linden Avenue she accelerated hor
speed and turned her car TO the loft
to avoid a collision--if you find she
made only an error Of Judgment, you
cannot convict her.
IF you find she did only what a
reasonably prudent person would
have done under similar clrcum-
stances. you cannot convict her. Tho
defendant had the right to accelerate
hc. speed to avoid n collision pro-.
vided the doing Of such was only an
error OF judgment and not a culpably
negligent act"
John B. Stanchficld, counsel for the
in his closing remarks to
the jury, said:
TT was necessary for the District
Attorney to prove that the accident
was due to culpable negligence of the
in the operation OF her au-
tomobile. II is also necessary to es-
tablish that the acts Of the defendant
were not merely negligent acts, but
we're culpably negligent. Culpable
negligence Is such careless net or
omission by "A person as cndangers
the personal safety OF life Of another.
and which could be avoided by the
exercise of reasonable attention and
exertion."
