Prosecutor Opens

old "child woman" was no more Jus
titled than would be the Staying or
all the imbeciles in Colorado's insti-
buttons, Prosecutor Joel E. Stone told
the Jury. The physician is charged
with first degree murder for the STAY
ing of his daughter.
"You would have no moro right to
20 into the state institutions In Col
orado where ATS imbeciles are con-
fined, and stab them with a dagger.
than you would have to declare this
act was not murder" declared Stone.
H. w. Spangler, defense counsel,
took the floor after a brief recess
and began the closing argument.
Attorney Spangler charged Stone
had mot construed the case fairly"
as he begun.
The spectators laughed when he
declared he would review the medl-
cal testimony offered but said he did
not guarantee to pronounce the
medical terms correctly" Referring
to the defendant, he said:
HE may have had all the dis
eases the alienists have testified to.
but I think the old-fashioned word
crazy describes his condition best.
His mind snapped on the day of
the homicide as he watched this
helpless, imbecilic mass roll on the
floor. 1t is a wonder to me, gentle
men of the jury, that it did not snap
long before"
When Spangler concluded the
court recessed.
"A being born of a woman Is re-
garded as human in the eyes of the
law" Judge johnson said in over
ruling motion which commended
that the Staying was no crime be-
cause the victim was a reasonable
being within the comprehension of
the statutes of Colorado.
1.-THE law is not concerned" the
Judge added, with metaphysical
doctrines"
The jury must either convict DR..
Blazer OF first degree murder or
must acquit him, Judge Johnson in
structed the body.
The case was given to the jury of
district court here at 9.45 o'clock to-
night.

that DR.. Harold Elmer Blazer killed
his 81 year old ''childwoman"
daughter. Hazel, was made tonight
by Lewis Mowry, chief defense at
torney, in his final argument before
the case went to the jury.
Eyes, we admit that he slew the
girl" Mowry said. But We do not
admit that he killed her with malice
aforethought, as the state must
prove to secure conviction. Neither
do we admit that he was sane when
he committed the homicide. Fur
Their, we contend that neither of tho
latter charges has been sustained by
evidence"
