 Changes Plea to Guilty
 Attorney Robert G. DeForeSt for the defense immediately addressed the court saying that certain docu- mentary evidence had come into the possessiorr of the state since this trial began that has put a different aspect upon the case. The defense is ready to offer a plea to a charge of murder in the second degree"
 The documentary evidence to which Attorney DeForest referred consisted of some 50 letters written by Mrs. Mott to Wade while they both were in jail here.
 The letters were marked for identi- fication and were then admitted into evidence and before being read into the record were turned over to coun- sel for Mrs. Nott' that they might know the contents thereof before they became public. As they were not read in court and the plea of Mrs. Mott was changed imm ediately the contents of the letters will not vow be made ac- cessible to the public. it was stated today.
 State Opposes Flea
 States Attorney Homer s. Cum ming opposed the acceptance of the plea declaring that he could not differentiate in law and morals be- tween the guilt of Elwood B. Wade, hanged for the Mott murder and Mrs. Mott was indicted with him.
 Carried from Courtroom
 Judge William M. Maltbie in ac- cepting the plea said he believed that Mrs. Nott's physical condition was such that she would not be able to hold out during the trial and the states work might go for naught Mrs. Mott was then sentenced after she had pleaded guilty to a charge of second degree murder as read by the clerk.

 tsCourt is Satisfied
 "I think the penalties already meted out, the Banging of Wade and the sentence Of life imprisonment upon Mrs. Nott in court this morning" the court declared in imposing sentence O Johnston. are sufficient insofar as to deter others from committing similar crimes is concerned, and as this is one of the most important facts to be taken into consideration I think we may dispose of it and consider the case of Johnston alone.'
 States Attorney Cummings in ask ing for a sentence of one year in jail for tJohnston, said that Johnston had aided the state in all ways within his power.
