 Dr Magrath explained that after death blood gravitates to the low CT portions of the body. Mrs Costello claims that when she found her husbands body 1t lay on it's back in the upper hallway of their Peabody home. All the livid spots. however. were on the front of the body, he testified.
 There was an area of lividity along the right chest extending up to the neck. and another livid spot on the right thigh" he said.
 Were those spots consistent with body lying on it's back at the time of death?" asked District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg.
 'No," said Dr Magrath. They were more on the right-hand side."
 He was asked if he recalled previous testimony regarding the livid spots, and if he had formed an opinion whether the position of the body, as described by previ- ous witnesses, was the position in which Costello died.
 A defense objection was over ruled, and Dr Magrath answered.:
 The discolorations as described are very inconsistent with death in that position"
 Asked to estimate the hour of death, the witness said:
 ''My opinion is that at 11:3C when Dr Tucker (the medical ex. made his examination, that body had been dead three hours oi so, or less. The opinion is not q close one but I believe death oc- cured somewhere about S;S0 ol later."

murdered her illegitimate daugh-
ter by throwing her down a well.
An obscure woman named Anne
Luclerc was the first woman to
be guillotined in France. She
walked calmly to the death ma
chine Oct. 3, 1898. For four years
she was an example to the women
of her time but she was soon Tor
gotten and other crimes were
committed by women for which
the punishment was beheading. In
1897 three women were executed.
At Epinal in 1905. Madame
Therese Arnaul, her daughter and
two sons all were beheaded.
The first woman highwayman
was Catherine Bouhams. and for
her crimes she paid with her head
in 1903. The famous polsoner,
Madame Perchette, settled her ac-
count at the guillotine in 1873
and in 1918, with cannlbal IN,
stinc.s, Madame Vuillaume carvei
up her two children alive, roasted
them over her fireplace. ate them
and went to her death under the
knife. -.

heredity. In Strasbourg in 1860,

who put to death a woman who
had poisoned her hubsand and SIX
children at Bourg, near Cahors.
The younger Deibler, Anatole,
will have his first woman client
before long unless the president
shows executive clemency. which
is doubted. .
Deibler senior executed the last
woman whose neck was placed IN
the groove of a guillotlne, 5O
wears ago. Her name was Madame
Thomas and she had helped her
husband murder her aged mother.
If the president of the French
Republic does not recommend eX-

he is wondering what it will feel
like to kill a woman.
