While being questioned. she was straightfor- ward in her replies. according to the authorities. and while at times she appeared to be very bitter towards Samuel, again she acted as though 1t would not have been difficult for her to forget her husbands trasic death were 1t possible for her to continue down the path along which her infatuation with his brother had led her. Alone in her cell at police headquarters at night. she was heard weeping softly. but not for long, and when the time came for her to present herself publicly, she had none of the appearance of hav- ing spent an altogether sleepless night.
 Weiss. according to his attorney, frightened up considerably yester. day after the effects of his sudden predicament had worn-away, and while he realizes fully the serious ness of the charge and the weight Of the penalty for guilt, he appears to be preparing himself for . battle.
