"The woman in the case" appeared
yesterday at the trial of Torrance
Casey for the ...urder of Albert B.
Cassil, an assistant superintendent
at the local plant of the American
Smelling and Refining company.
Wearing a black veil and dressed
entirely in black, she was silent
spectator of the proceedings before
District Judge Redick and jury.
She sat on the chair nearest to
Terrence Casey, the man who shot
and killed her husband at the smell
ter on the night Of January q.
Casey himself was the calmest
man in the courtroom. A stocky
man with black hair and neatly
dressed, he sat behind his lawyers
apparently without care on his
mind, though the IL men in the jury
box may retire to the jury room
within two days and return and pro-
nounce the death sentence upon him.
The defense, according to James
O'Hara, attorney for Casey, will
show that what at first seemed like
a murder without an object really
has woman behind it. "Cherchez la
femme" applies here as in most
other human activities.
The defense will show, says Mr..
O'Hara, that Cassil accused Casey of
being much too friendly with Mrs.
Cassil. Casey says that Cassil was
insanely jealous and at various times
threatened to shoot him. Casey ad-
mits that he was friendly with Mrs.
Cassil, that he sent her gifts on sew
eral occasions and that she sent him
little presents.
He denies that there was anything
improper but says that Cassil ac-
cused him of improperly.
Casey had loaned Cassil about $40
and when he asked Cassil for this
money, he says, Cassil threatened
him on various occasions and made
accusations against him and Mrs.

GERMAN CONTROL
OF LEAD And ZINC
MARKETS BROKEN
All Metal Concerns in United
States in Hands of Enemy
Either Disbanded or
AmeriCanized.

Washington, March 1S,-Ger.
many's control of the zinc and lead
markets of the world and her tre-
mendous interests in other metals
was shown by report today of the
alien property custodian to have
been broken in large part by the
release of American, Mexican and
South American mines and smelters
from the dominance Of German
owned corporations.
All the metal concerns i'll the Unit
ed States which were controlled in
Germany have been either disband-
ed or Americanized and the report
concludes. 1T is believed the Ger
man interests in our metal markets
have been completely eliminated" ~
Never a great producer Of metals,
Germany nevertheless welded tre-
mendous power over markets by the
fact that its three great metal COM
binations acted in concert in the pur-
chase of ore and the establishment
of smelters, aided by unlimited credit
from German banks which financed
the sales of huge quantities of
metals, thereby influencing prices.
Stock Transfers Nullified. Z
When the alien property custod-
ian began investigating German
business in this country he found
frequent attempts to transfer stock
to supposed Americans in an effort
to circumvent seizure by the gov
ernment. The efforts were useless
and the transfers were declared void
and the entire business was turned
over to custodian.
Disposition now has been de-
cided upon in all three cases of the
metal companies controlled by Ger
man capital.
Beer, Sondheimer and company is
in process of liquidation, including
its subsidiaries, National Zinc COM
pany, Norfolk Smelling company
and Cuba Copper leasing company,
and it was said the stock would go
only into American hands. The COM
pany's control over important flo
tation patents also has been de-
stroyed. .
Control of L. Vogelstein and CON-
pany has been assured by the GUS
todian for five years by means of
a voting trust in which the GUS
todian names two of the three
trustees, and the firm agrees not to
resume relations with its German
connections in that period. This
arrangement was devised because
Vogelstein is an American citizen
and it has not been possible to
learn the exact interest of Aron
Hirsch and Son in the Vogelstein
assets.
By agreement between the Gus
todian and American stockholders
of the American Metal company, all
of the stock has been put in a vot-
ing trust for five years, with the
custodian holding certificates Of
81, ga shares owned by enemy aliens
out of total of 10000. The enemy
owned shares will be sold to
Americans.
"The German metal cctupus," the
report concludes, "has spread his
!entacles across the ocean and over
the United States into Mexico and
South America, but for the present
surely, and for all times, it is hope.l,
he has been driven back and a wall
of Americanism erected, which, it
is hoped, he will never be able
again to scale"

Mrs. Cassil Silent Witness
At theT. Casey MI rider Trial
AS Accused Takes Stand
Defense in Shooting of Smeter Plant Superintendent
to Show That Unfounded Jealousy Indirectly Caused
the Killing-Defendant Himself on Witness Stand.

Cassil and threatened TO plug him.
James Freeman testified in the
morning that he saw Casey standing
outside of Cassil's door shortly be-
fore the shooting and that he wit
messed the shooting. \
When Cassil came out of the
door Casey pulled out his gun and
fred" said Freeman; Cassil tried to
get back in the door, but couldn't
and Casey fired at him again"
All witnesses in the case except
MRS. Cassil were ordered excluded
from the court room before the trial
began. and will be brought in, one
by one, as required.
The defense will seek to show that
Casey shot Cassil because he was
driven to terror by Cassil's alleged
threats. ..
Casey on Stand.
Casey testified in the afternoon.
He detailed a long series of quar-
rels which he and Cassil had on and
before January 81, the date Casey
killed Cassil.
A dramatic incident occurred
while Police Officer E. Fl. Higg was
testifying. He declared that Casey
said, after the shooting, "If he's not
dead I'd like to go back and finish
the job" Rising from his chair,
Casey shook finger at Higg and
cried: .....
IF there's a God above, you'll
drop dead in that chair"
1t was the only time during the
trial that Casey was moved from
his calm and stolid demeanor.
The bad blood" between Casey
and Cassil had existed for more
than a, year, according to Casey's
testimony. Casey alleged that Cas-
sill borrowed money from the men
and then winked at their laxness in
duty; also that he brought bootleg
whisky" into the plant. Cassil also
owed Casey money, and this was
another cause for frequent quarrels.
