duCed no testimony regarding the de
 fendant's character, the state couli
 call no witnesses 10 testify in that
 regard, and this the counsel for Mrs. Anderson we'll knew
 "Lured to the sanitarium, Jacl, Wilson came to the house, and with
 sunshine and good cheer, talked to the nurses in the kitchen Jack had come back from service overseas, where all the boys learned to revere and idolize the nurses uniform. Called from those who were enjoy ing his happy, genial nature, he went to the room of her whose mission
 was to minister to pain and suffer ing. There was no rough talk, no hand raised against the defendant, and with her bullets in her breast, he acted the part of chivalrous man.
 And this assassin, thirsting for blood, her jealousy aroused because she was afraid her young lover would be won away from her, shot down this young American---as cowardly murder as has been committed in Yavapai county And to give the lie to her foul slander against him, Jack Wilson said to her who had done this thing, You little fool, you know love you" This was not said on stage for an effect but just as he req lized he had reached the shore of the sea of eternity and the gathering mists soon would envelop his soul.
 This slayer's slimy, heartless, cruel slander! When did it become first known? When first did she re- late it? Not until counsel had been retained and had been advised as to medico-legal insanity by that man who declared he never appeared eX- cept for pay. Dr. Win Wylie I re- peat. when did this story first reach the light of day? Had she repeated it to the counsel she had retained for her defense, or any of the wit nesses who appeared for her? Did her associates at her side when she lay in Mercy hospital say she put those vile words in her victims mouth? Did she tell Dr. Southworth who attended her after she had wounded herself? No, for at that time when she did not know whether she was going to live or die, she told her physician that she did it because she was going to lose her lover, Jack Wilson.
 "Whom did she tell? No one, no lot until she as a defendant took he witness stand during the first
 rial of this case. Considered in the light of all these elements, what be- comes of the elaborate system of in luences and perversions built up for he purpose of Dt Wylie, for Jack Wilson never mace such q remark, whatever it may mean, to her or any one else. What happened! Dr. Win Wylie had happened!
 Something had to be! Something bring out the latent idea, his !heory, Dr. Win Wylie's theory, the nan who has to be paid. Counsel {, or the defense claimed to this jury ! hat he did not know whether the l. state paid its witnesses or not. l can nform you that the states witnesses, 1 Ors. Southworth, Looney and Yount. will get no pay, they are not allowed | by the law to receive any pay. And | I will tell you that if ever the state decides that 1t wants Dr. Win Wylie . here as a witness we will issue him . l subpoena and he will come without pay, where he wants to or not, for that is the law Win Wylie! Heads, win. Win Tails, you lose, Dr. Win Wylie.
 The Riebelings in their testimony merely establish that the defendant had little tantrums. She told them and others that she had her way as | child, that if she threw herself on the floor and cried she usually was allowed her way The concensus of testimony shows that she merely had ,antrums. that's all, and needed few spanllings early in her career.
 "Was there any bit of temper when she shot Jack Wilson? Was there my sign of temper in the conversa ion with him? No! The tantrum, the spell was not there This slayer acted so coolly and collectedly that when Mrs Hobde called to her she was not as the Riebelings pictured ler, not forgetful nor hysterical, but even then with the guilt of murder on her soul, Bernice Anderson paused n her pursuit of her victim and ;losed the door easily, gently, as Mrs. Hobde testihes.
