Helen, you're free"
Miss Guillow, who has been held
under bonds for her appearance as
the material witness was called
by the attorney general. This was
the call which electrified the court
room. Women edged forward in their
seats and waited.
The nurse had been sitting in her
automobile outside the court houes, in
constant attendance at court. but not
once entering the building until dep
uty sheriff was sent to summon her.
She walked through the lane of men
and women, head erect, and with
never a glance TO right or left she
walked briskly to the witness stand
where she took the oath and sat
down.
States Attorney Graves examined
her and she testified as to her name,
residence and occupation and then
stated that she knew Byron Petit
bone. After admissions that she went
on taxi rides with him on two occa-
sions before Mrs. Pettibone's death,
Mr.. Graves took up the matter of the
trip to Manchester, when Pettlbone
and the nurse made love on hearse
in which the undertaken had a body.
the body was placed in the hearsc she
drove with Pettibone to the Colburn
House for supper, and reached home
at about 10 o'clock at night The
hearse courtship of the undertaken
and the nurse stands out as the high
light of the entire Pettibone story.
Miss Guillow was interrogated by
the prosecutor and frankly admitted
her relations with Pettibone.
Miss Guillow said she first met Pet
tibone on March II. when he visited
her home to prepare her grandfather 5
body for burial. He remained long
enough to prepare the body. He was
back the next day with the casket.
DENIES RIDES IN CAB.
She raised her voice to deny that
sse ever took the taxicab rides With
Pcttibonc to which Cole Bowen, n pre-
vious state witness testified. but she
admitted rides to North Adams.
In describing the layout in her
home at Sodom. she said her bedroom
adjoined the room in which Pettibone
slept while he was convalescent after
the Troy Hospital treatment. Her
father, mother, sister. and brother-in-
law were the other inmates of the
household. Mr.. Graves asked the
nurse II. at the time Of the ride from
Dewey street, when she testified she
was on her way to go on duty at the
Putnam Memorial Hospital, she took
the most direct route and she admit
ted that the ride down Colgate road
was in an opposite direction.
Through Clarence Miller, drug
clerk at Dan Wards drug store on
Main street. near the Walbridge un-
dertaking establishment where Petit
bone was employed, the State showed
that there was a bottle of strychnine
on the shelf In the prescription de-
partment.
FINALLY MISSED sTRYCHNINE.
Miller said that DR.. Wilcox pur-
chased a phial OF strychninc and
used 10 grains of IL. The metal
cap was replaced on the bottle and

Police today are without further

"The case has been fought bitterly
in the Michigan courts. Roberts at
torneys maintained that inasmuch as
suicide was not a cripe' In Michigan
Roberts could not be prosecuted. The
courts held that Mrs. Roberts was
not suicide. and quoted the law
which said
He who kills another at hiy own
desire or command Is murderer as
much as IL he had done IL with his
own hand; and the person killed Is
not a suicide"
WRONG, IS COPELAND's VIEW.
The courts held that the crime be-
ing murder, Roberts was an acces-
sorry before the fact.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, health com
missioner, OF New York, was asked
to express his opinion of the case
lie said:
~ sympathiZe very much with the
kindheartedness of the man who
would seek to relieve his wife under
such circumstances, but ! think II IL
absolutely wrong to assist another
to self-destruction. In my opinion II
is the duty of every physician and
every individual to proIong life as
much as possible, because there Is
always the hope that some means OF
relief may be found for the sufferer
There always is the hope that the
disease may be cured; that there may
! be ultimate comfort and happiness
But under any circumstances 1 think
IT the duty of every physician and
every individual TO do everything
humanity possible TO prolong life.
don't see how the law can take any
other view OF it, From every stand
point it is not only legally, but moral
| iy wrong to assist in the taking OF
life"
Mrs Nelson Herrick Henry, leader
Of thought, had this TO say:
at is a rather difficult question
1t seems to me that it is not within
the province OF anybody to facilitate
an opportunity for suicide. In the
case in question. If the circumstances
of iIl-health made the wife feel thai
she had no regret in dyipg, that con-
dition may have arisen from a dis
ordered mind, superinduced by an IN
durable disease.

KANSAS INDUSTRIAL LAW
UNDER TEST THERE TODAY

PITTSBURGH, Kan. April 2S.-After
frank discussion of the Kansas court of
industrial relations law, the Crawford
district court yesterday began the hear
ing of testimony in the case in which
the state seeks a temporary injunction
against approximately $50 miners
union officials to prevent 4 strike. News
paper interviews given by Alexander NJ.
Howat. head of the Kansas union
miners, were first in the evidence pre-
scented by the state in efforts to show
that the miners union officials were in
conspiracy to violate the new Kansas
law.
Judge Andrew ]. Curran, before
whom the case is being tried. took a
candid part in the free discussion of the
new Kansas law. which was allowed in
court. The new law, the judge said, is
the most forward piece Of legislation in
the history of the state. He predicted
that within five years the miners would
be the best friends of the new law and
court.
When LAWYERS for the miners pro-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-04-28

tested against the courts rendering a
decision without hearing the evidence"
the judge said that he was merely eN-
pressing his personal opinion, like the
lawyers in the case had done.
