The first period journalism

We first visited the "morgue"

book which contained every issue
of The Times that was published
in the year 1902.
We next visited the art depart

BOWLES' THREAT
HELD CAUSE
OFSTROKE
Fairfax Jury After Reporting
Disagreement, Finds His
Remarks Brought Illness

After six and half hours of
deliberation, during which it re-
ported back that an agreement
was impossible and was sent back
for further deiberation, a jury in
the Fairfax Circuit Court late last
night awarded Mrs. Mae F. May,
Of Falls Church, $2.500 damages
against B. Agee Bowles. vice pres.
ident Of the Potomac Savings
Bank.
Claims Caused Stroke
The suit was an outgrowth Of
q paralytic stroke which Mrs. May
claims she sustained after BowleS
had visited her home and threat
ened to have her jailed for spread
ing stories regarding himself and
Mrs. May Mills, also of Falls
Church.
In their final arguments yester.
day, counsel for Mrs. May de-
scribed BOwIes visit, saying that
he had entered unlimited and
''made the blunt accusations in a
loud and beaStly tone Of voice,
with the intention of intimidat-
ing Mrs. May and getting her to
sign affidavits regarding the
stories which she was said to
have spread.
Deny Stories Told
They pointed out that while
Bowles said he went to the home
for the purpose of stopping Mrs.
May from spreading stories about
himself, he had not produced
single witness during the six days
of the trial to show that Mrs.
May had done so.
The defense attempted to show
that Mrs. May was i'll prior to
Bowles' visit and that the visit
had nothing to do with her
illness.
With this in mind, defense
attorneys attacked the medical
testimony given by DR.. r. Percy
Hickling. noted alienist of Wash
ington, who had testified for Mrs.
May.
The defense indicated that an
appeal would be taken. .s

numbering her husband, Thomas
K. Marshall. late yesterday af.
ternoon after the jury had de-
liberated only 81 minutes.
When the verdict of not guilty

burst forth from the throats of
over 100 spectators who had at.
tended the 10 days trial in which
attorneys for the state and de.
Tense had paraded a maze Of
testimony before the jury and q
courtroom packed to capacity.
The verdict brought to an end
the most famous murder trial
ever held in this county and vim.
dicated Mrs. Marshall of the
death of her husband. who died
approximately three weeks after
she shot him as he lay asleep in
their home ia Tucson.
Mrs. Marshall received con.
gratulations from all sides after
the verdict was rendered. Herb.
Drachman. prominent realsor of
Tucson leaned over and kissed
her and James Boyle. chief coun.
sci for defense led her to the
jury box where she Shook hands

as she extended her heartfelt
thanks to the IL Santa Cruz

ors in the courtroom, who bad
but few moments cheered the
verdict, cried with the silver.
haired woman as she extended
her thanks to the court for the
verdict which not only freed hsr
from the clutches Of the law bus
vindicated her action in the eyes
of the world.
Although it took the state ap.
proximately five months to pre-.
pare the prosecution of the aged
woman. and it took 10 days for
the trial here in which much tes.
timony was given. it required
the jury only 81 minutes to rem.

A. F. Duva. local railroad
yardmaster, was the foreman of
the jury. He handed the verdict

cred it to Robert f. Lee, court
clerk, to be read.
The state sought conviction Of
the aged woman on a charge Of

WHO KILLED TOM MARSHALL 2
Wednesdays Democrat)

The trial of the State of Ari
zona vs. Mrs. Louise F. Marshall
Tucson woman accused Of mur.
dering her husband. Thomas K.
Marshall, will go to the jury
this afternoon, it was indicated
this afternoon at 2 o'clock when
Duane Bird. the fourth lawyer
to address the jury today, pound.
ed home the defense's idea Of
what the jury was to judge after
hearing testimony since a week
ago Monday.
Before sitting down. Bird, a
Nogales lawyer with south
western reputation. declared:
"The jury has three things to
consider when making its de.
i cision.
Que is that Mrs. Marshall
has long life of goodness.
who killed Tom Marshall,
DR.. Omer and DR.. Gotthelf or
Mrs. Marshall?
Was Mrs. Marshall sane or
insane at the time of the shoot
ine?'
Bird confiaed himself to the
instructions which the jury will
get, but be did have time to get
in few thrusts at the state at
torneys and witnesses.
In making the first address to
the jury this morning, William
G. Hall, Pima county attorney,
said that the defense. like ap
octopus. when it's enemies attack
it clouds the water. had hidden
the real facts of the case"
Bird referred to this statement
but remarked:
I am not an octopus as Hall
said. Apparently be knows about
as much about the defense as be
does about deep see fish. 1t isn't
an octopus that clouds the water
but cuttle-6sh!"
Bird said that it was up TO the
state to prove that Mrs. Marshall
was sane. not the defense to
prove Mrs. Marshall was insane
and it was also for the state to
prove that Marshall died from
gunshots and not the result OF
an operation.
Bird showed little regard for
the Tucson doctors who testified
during the trial.
Marshall died as the result
of too many experts" Bird said.
IF my wife ever shoots me, do
not let them take me to Tucson
experts take me to country
doctors here and let me live!"
Hall opened the closing argu.
ments in the case this morning
with a stirring address, inferring
that Mrs. Marshall might have
added traces of poison to speci
mems which she gave to doctors
and that her letter to Judge Fred
Pickett was premeditated ges
ture to throw off guilt. Hall in
sisted that the 65-year- old wo
man was sane all the time, as
evidenced by her sound business
advice given to a man the morn
ing of the shoting.
James P. Boyle. of the silvery.
toneued Irish BoyIes during his
hour of argument, took each
allegation made by Hall and
matched it With defense theories.
He pictured Mrs. Marshall as
women who intensely loved her
husband but under his mistreat
ment. broke down and in mo
ment when she did not know
right from wrong, shot him.
Shortly after O'Clock George
Darnell, defense counsel, began
his address to the jury and Ar.
thur LaPrade. state attorney,
was to wind up the trial late this
afternoon. After this Judge w.
A. O'Connor was to give the
jury it's instructions and the IL
men were to be locked up to de.
termine the fate OF Mrs. Mar
shall.
Toe trial has attracted more
people than the courtroom will
hold ever since the third day.
The majority Of the spectators
have been women.
