The case was given to the jury
at . o'clock last night after defense
attorneys pleaded communicative in

employe to slash his brides throat
when she demanded he kill her be
cause she feared motherhood. The
verdict was returned shortly after ,
O'Clock this morning.
After several days Of testimony, in
cluding that of scores of llart'S bust
ness associates who appeared as
character witnesses. he testified he
was unable to resist his wife's plea
for death and that after Staying her
he attempted to end his own life.
Made Promise to Kill.
Hart told the jury that when he
married Mabel MarmOnt last June
she made him promise to Kill her
should she ever become an eXpectant
mother. He said that on the even
ing of July s, he met her at the rail
road station. where she was employed
as a telegraph operator, and that they
started for an automobile ride.
He declared that she threatened
ssto commit suicide in the most dis
graceful way possible" if he failed
to take her life that night. Hart IN
sisted that he protested lack OF n
weapon but that she obtained an old
knife from the automobile tool Kit
and urged him to use 1t.
"She pressed the knife into my
hand and pointing to her throat said,

DEATH" he continued.
He said that when death came too
slowly he left the automobile, and at
tempted to drown himself in Il nearby
stream, but his strength failed. and he
fell in a briar patch, where he was
found by officers.
The defense introduced expert wit
nesses to support the contention Mrs
Hart was insane and that she domi-
mated her husband.
Alienist Testifies for Defense.
DR.. Karl Menninger, Kansas special
ist in mental diseases, testified he had
come In contact with communicative
insanity. He said such a condition
was brought about by intimate asso-
citation. causing two persons to adopt
same likes and dislikes He declared
Mrs. Hart gave every evidence of
being insane and that in his opinion
Hart was unable to resist her de-
mands.
DIR. Menninger admitted there might
be such a thing as convenient insan-
ity." in answer to prosecution ques-
tions but he declared his observations
showed Hart to have been absolutely
lacking in Judgment concerning re-
quests made by his bride.
In his closing argument. Tom
Forbes of defense counsel drew a
parallel between Hart's case and
events mentioned in biblical history.
He recited the stories of Adam and
Eve, and OF Salome, who demanded the
head OF John the Baptist.
The court instructed the jury that if
they believed Hart insane when he
killed his bride. then his criminal re-
sponsibility had ceased.

Main Purpose Stated.

''The main purpose of the Rhodes
scholarships is to enable the brightest
of the young generation to go to OK
ford and to Europe so as to benefit
by the best that can be obtained in
that ancient home of learning and by
association with students from other
parts of the world, and then return
to share what they have learned with
their own countrymen and to serve
as channels of mutual understanding
between the various English-speaking
peoples.
There is no more fruitful agency
for international peace than the inter-
change of students. The fact that the
Rhodes scholarships have found so
many imitators in later days, so that
there is now a complete two-way sys-

OF Rhodes scholars has been one of
extraordinary success in a large num-
Der of fields
LAS group" said DR.. Aydelotte,
1.-The American Rhodes scholars are
still young men, three-fourths Of them
not having reached 40 years of age,
but despite this fact they number
among them individuals who have
reached national and. in some cases,
international eminence in occupations
in which they are engaged -
"The suggestion has sometimes been
made that the effect and the purpose
of the Rhodes scholarship system is to
denationalize or Anglicize the Ameri-
can scholars. Cecil Rhodes in his will
specifically expressed the hope that no
such effect would follow, and nobody
who knows the body of returned
Rhodes scholars, either in America,
Canada, Australia or South Africa,
will have any doubt that they return
as loyal and as patriotic citizens of
their home countries as they went.
