Perhaps no trial ever held in
New York was followed by great
er public interest. The high So
cial position of the accused, the
dramatic incidents preceding Null
hollands sudden death, the con-
nection Of MYSTERIOUS name-all
tended to focus public interest on
the Criminal Courts Building.
And as the evidence was
brought forward it seemed to
Masterton, to his friend Forbes
and to Sadie Hicks, that a net
was slowly closing around tho
beautiful defendant which II would
be impossible to break.
Although the character Of Null
holland was laid bare, nevertheless
the diary which he had so pains
takingly kept seemed to place
him in the position Of man who
loved his wife devotedly, but who
was scorned by her.
The fact was tellingly brought
forth that Cynthia had given to
her husband the bottle which con.
tanned among the harmless tablets
the deadly cyanide tablets, which
bottle had been kept In Cynthia's
room. The headache capsules and
the crystals Of cyanide were pro-
duced.
