Bailiff Ingram Mallory of the
Hamilton Circuit was sworn by the
judge and Immediately took the
jury to their room, while the over.
flowing crowd stayed in hopes OF
an early verdict.
The first thing the jury did
was to go to lunch.
IF you find from the evidence
in this case. beyond a reasonable
doubt, that the death of the deceased
resulted directly or indirectly from
bite inflicted upon her person by
one Of the defendants, then / in
struct you that he would be criminal
ly responsible for such death, ever
though other causes may have con
tributed to her death, provided thai
all the other material allegations o,
either the first or third counts o.
said indictments have been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt" Judge
Sparks instructed the jury.
The Charge
The trio was accused of gettinl
Miss Oberholtzer drunk, taking hei
in a Pullman car TO Hammond
Ind, attacking and betting her er
route, and of refusing her medica
aid after she had taken poison in
a Hammond hotel.
"A person is liable for a homi
tide in accelerating the death OF
one whose death would necessar
lily have soon resulted rom an in
durable illness and the degree OF
the homicide is not changed by the
presence and effect Of such illness,
instructed Judge Sparks. "The fact
| that death might and probably would
have occurred from other causes is
not extenuation of the said persons
guilt"
And IL you find from the evidence
I'm this case beyond a reasonable
doubt that Madge Oberholtzer was
suffering from a fatal illness, as a re
suit Of bichloride of mercury poison
ing, and if you further find that al
the time Of such illness the defend
ants or any of them have previously
assumed control and custody of hei
person by force, and If you further
find that while they were in such
control and custody they failed tc
provide proper medical attention for
her, within their means or that they
refused to permit her or prevented
her from obtaining such medical at.
tention for herself and I'm so doine
shortened her life or hastened her
death, or if you should find from the
evidence they compelled or induced
her to take a ride i'm an automobile
of 100 miles or more and imprisoned
her i'm a garage without medical at
tention and that said ride and said
imprisonment contributed to her
death or fastened IL, then you would
be warranted in finding the defend
ants guilty of felonious homocide
even ethough It should appear from
the evidence that they believed al

hav saved her life"

woman to he the wife of this man? proves this.
 Strange as it may seem, every woman in her first eXalation of her great love, wishes to be given 10 her husband-WiShes to belong to him, Our grandmothers were outwardly acquicscent to be possession of their husbands 10 the end of the chapter. This was not always be- cause of their great deyotions h their husbands but, because, alas, they did not know how they would live without him. They were afraid to go out into the world and earn their daily bread.
 Ruth says that, in the language of the street, they were afraid to lose their meal ticket" and so they stayed on earning their living in "the easiest way" although if any one had compared them to woman of the streets they would have been very much insuIted and very much shocked.
 Today things are very different, John. Most women know they need not be economically dependent upon any man and so most of US ask for the same faith and loyalty 10 our selves from our husbands that our husbands require from Us. 1 Copyright, 1895, NEA Service, Inc)
