DAMAGING EVIDENCE
is INTRODUCED
What Is freely claimed to be tho
most damaging evidence presento1
against Mrs.. LYDIA Southard. al1eGoa
"Bluebeardess." on trial on chnrno
OF numbering her fourth husband.
Edward +. Meyer. was given today
by Herman Harms. state chemist e
Utah.
Harms was recalled on cross-exam-
ination by the defense, to explain the
various tests which he made for n
senic on the body OF Meyer.
Instead OF benefiting its caae. the
defense apparently brought out Z
great deal OF damaging cvidenco
against Mrs. Southard.
Harms testified that he had spent
six weeks in a complete chemical en-
animation of Meyers body.
He stated that he had conducted
tests for every known chemical.
metallic and meteorological poison.
and had found only arsenic.
Because he found no trace OF lead.
he stated positively that the arsenic
could not have come from arsenRto
OF lead. which is the poison used In
spraying fruit trees. The defense
had previously freely intimated that
Meyer might have died from eating
fruit which had been sprayed with
this preparation.
Another potential point for the de-
fensc was blasted when Harms testi-
fled that a well-known mercury-ar-
senical preparation could not have
been present in the body. because he
found no mercury.

Has he exaggerated their critical at

Is his story fair to Main Street every
where and to Main Street specifically
in the town with which you are most
familiar?
The discussion of Main Street" is of
as great interest in Seattle as it is in
small towns of the state, because thou
sands upon thousands of Seattleites are
products of small towns of Washington
and other states, scattered all over the
country.
The Star, in publishing the story, is
neither indorsing nor defending Lewis
attitude toward the small town. Wheth-
er he is right or wrong--or whether he
is partially right or wrong-is for you
to decide in your own mind as you read.
The Star is publishing Main Street" be-
cause it admittedly is the most interest
ing and significant piece of American
