rated in a highly emotional address, in
which he compared the agony OF the
defendant to that of Christ on the
cross 1t took him four and half
hours to complete his address. lie

Reilys attack on Clark, who came
from Cincinnati TO testify for the pros
ecution, was only one of the high lights
III the days proceedings He openly
accused Mrs. Marie Gormley kinkead,
widow Of the murdered man. of sitting
brazenly in court day after day "gIoat-

courtroom.
State Asks MANS Punishment
ant District Attorney Herbert N. War
hasse emphasized all the evidence that
tended to disprove the plea Of tempo
rary insanity, and pleaded for a "man's
punishment for n mans crime" After
both lawyers completed their addresses,
Justice Aspinall adjourned court. He
viii deliver his charge this morning,
and the case will be in the hands of
the jury by noon.
Miss Store was in a state bordering
Oh collapse all day yesterday. During
the morning recess she tainted. 1t is
the third time since the trial began
that she fell unconscious in court For
the rest Of the day she half lay over
the lawyers table, her black velvet
cape spread over her like a blanket,
her face hidden in her hands. She
might have been asleep, still was
her form The hysteria of the previ-
Gus days Of tn, trial disappeared.
Apathetic. unknowng, she never moved
as the details Of her case were re-
counted by defense and prosecution in
their summation. Although Mrs. Kin
Aead left the court to escape from the
vitriol of Reillys tongue in the morn
ing she returned in the afternoon with
a thick, impenetrable veil concealing
her features. She remained for the
rest Of the day.
"Mr. Clark claims to belong to the
American Bar Association" said Reilly
in beginning his denunciatiou of the
states witness. "He is liar. am
member Of the American Bar Associa-
ton. lie is not The confounded liar
does not even know what he puts in an
affidavit"
Producing an affidavit made by Clark
on Miss Stones alleged attempt to
have him prosecute Kinkead under the
Mann acr. Reilly sought to show that
his testimony on the stand was con-
Trajectory to his statements in this
document, lie said that on the witness
stand on Monday Clark swore he had
only seen the defendant once and that
he made no investigation of the charges
she brought against Kinkead. In the
affidavit, according TO Reilly, Clark
spoke Of Seeing Miss Stone subsequent
to making an investigation"
Clark Sealed Fate, He Says
'lf it is the last thing do." Reilly
exclaimed, "I'll send this evidence to
the State Bar Association of Ohio.
Jimmie Clark sealed his fate in this
courtroom There is no place in the
legal profession for him. He knew he
lied. That's why he has sneaked back
TO Cincinnati. He made an affidavit for
a friend of Kinkead. He had to make
good when the gang ca He'd on him, so
he came to New York to testify That's
the kind Of justice Olivia Stone got in
Cincinnati. The same political gang
that surrounded Kinkead out there is
in this courtroom trying to damn this
woman"
Reilly attacked the testimony of De-
tectives Ellenrieder and Schwable, de-
clarlng they were sent to the trial by
the chief Of police in Cincinnati to
support Clark's testimony. He de-
scribed as ridiculous" the statement
made by these detectives on the stand
that Miss Stone had promised to mail
her revolver back to them.
"'Olivia' is we'll named" continued
Reilly. "She has had her Mount Olivet
right in this courtroom. She has suf-
fered almos like Christ on the Cross.
Her agony OF mind under vile insinua-
tions has been beyond description"
Tear drops fell in the courtroom.
Feminine spectators wiped their eyes
and looked with pitying gances at the
crumpled figure lying needless across
the lawyers table.
What powerful grip this woman
of the underworld, Marie Gormley,
must have in Cincinnati when the Chief
any questions about her; when she
can come in every day to this trial
and dare not take the witness stand.
If she were good woman, she would
tear down the railing in front of her
to get on the witness stand and con-
tradict me. She is the woman who.
when she holds up her finger in Gin
clnnati, gets what she wants. But I
give her notice now that she will
never establish any beauty parIor ia
Brooklyn. III stop this trial right.
now if Marie Gormley will take the
stand and try to disWove what | said
| she was"
Olivia "Lovable Creature"
Reilly described the defendant as a
refined, lovable creature of the South
land, always protected by the men folks
of her family" The slightest insult Or
slur upon her virtue made the deepest
impression on her type, he said. No
member of her family had ever been
in court before, and, although the
prosecution had "combed and searched''
| for witnesses to tear down her good
repute, they had been unsuccessful, he
added.
In summing up for the state, Mr..
Warbasse assaied the defence for
"fabricating evidence" There was
nothing to prove that Miss Stone had
gin before the shooting or that she was
not in possession of all her faculties
he declared.
Warbasse accused Reilly of reviline
witnesses from "lack of evidence" He
did not propose to defend Mr.. Clark
