The trial has been under way since

have gone to the Beverly Glen cabin.
Throughout the proceedings DR..
Young sat calmly listening without
traces of emotion as the gruesome bits

After DR.. Youngs arrest on June

along cone of dental gas.
En- route to the glen she fell into
a drunken stupor. He affixed the
cone to her mouth and nose nd ad-
ministered fatal quantity of the

Mrs. Young's body in a wheelbarrow
and trundled IL to a cistern beneath
the dwelling. Later he sealed the
body In the bottom of the cistern with
concrete. The slain woman's unsus-

When the relatives demanded an in

eating that she had gone to Paris to

he explained she had written these at
his request while she was under the
influence of liquor.
The letters failed to halt the inves-
