Jlr. Speiser was insistent, demanding I

allowed.
When the conference was concluded,
Mr, Scott once mere rephrased hi
question te Fisher. "What did she sa

amid the witness, "that they were
caught by his wife."
"What did she say as you were going
te the eneratin room?" "As I was
taking her she said lt was an nwnu
disgrace te her family. I leaned ever i
and asked if she had any statement te '

Mrs. Reier leaned ever and said, I
'Didn't I warn jeu te keep away from

MR. SPEISER FIGHTS
TO BAR 'CONFESSION1
Mr. Speiser then asked the stenog
rapher te read the notes' concerning the
statement the 'dying child' had made
te Fisher after Dr. Shallow had warned
Miss Heckltt thnt she was going te die.
Mr. Scott objected, saying that the

timony should be stricken from the rec

the District Attorney's gives us no
light. He Just wishes the witness e
repent his testimony."
Fights te Keep Out "Confession"
"I have ruled out the will," said the
Judge, 'and I will allow Mr. Spefscr
te ask the stenographer te read the
unworn and questions."
The will had been ruled out a few
days age because the judge believed
it had no bearing en the case, aa ti
was made after the sheeting,
Mr. Speiser said te the stenegrapher:
"Read my first question in my cross cress
examination." " 'Yeu told him what you are tes
tifying te new?' 'Yes.'
" 'Yeu told him you were an orderly
in the Jeffersen Hospital en January
Jl?' 'Yes.'
" 'Yeu told him that In the receiving
ward she was told by LYr. Shallow that
she was about te die?' 'I don't re
member.' "
Here Mr Scott . objected te further
questions or answers being read, as the
witness already had testified, but was
overruled.
The stenographer continued, but
Judge Uarratt interrupted, saying:

The stenographer then .-cad: " 'Did

"That's all," said Mr. Speiser.

sat eagerly forward as the woman In
black made her way te the stand.
"What is your full name," said Mr.
Scott.
The witness, sneaking In a very weak
voice that she was requested te raise,
replied :
"Catherine Rosier."
"Where did you live at the time of
your arrest?" 'At 1 Kent read,
Stonehurst."
"Mrs. Rosier, when did you first
meet Arthur Rosier?" her counsel
asked. "October S of last year."
'Mrs. Rn.iir. frcitn thi tlm. vnn mpf

Arthur Rosier told me that If he were

It might all 'blew ever.' "
At this point Mrs. Rosier began te
weep.

"About a week after I was home
from the hospital." the witness said,
wiping the tears from her eye. "I wns
Introduced te Miss HecUiti at a Hal
loween patty at my Stonehurst home.
At thnt time I knew nothing nbeut my
husband running around with her.
"Anether night, after dinner, while
I was preparing te clear the dishes off
the table, Arthur tried te force xut te
de something for him. but I refused
and repulsed him. I said te Arthur, 'It
jeu don't step I will have te tell Mr.
Rosier of your actions.' And he said,
'Ob, that's alf right. Oscsr's down

"That night. I waited for my hus

Swoons at Mention of Ril,
When she spoke the word "baby"
Mrs. Hosier swooned en the stand.
Deputy Sheriff Brune ran forward with
n bottle of smelling salts, and it was
several minutes before the witness re
gained her composure. The women
spectators leaned forward breathlessly,
tears in their eyes.

Beferu proceeding, Mrs. Rosier asked
tnut tier hat be removed. This was done
, by a court clerk. Then the witness
continued :
"The next morning, it was en a Sat
urday. Arthur arranged that I meet
Miss Heckltt at Thirteenth and Market
stieets. I left home about 0:30 o'clock
and waited at the corner until half past
twelve before Miss Heckltt came. Then
we went Inte the waiting room of
Wanamaker's, and I asked her If it were
true that she was going out with my
husband.

"And she told tne that It was true,"
continued the wltnesa. Mrs. Hosier
wss sobbing centlnuslly, brushing her

Sobbing loudly, the witness cried :
"Oh, I begged her se hard. And
Anally she agreed te give him up."
I Mn: "0, sieppeu crying ler u

That afternoon when T went home.
Arthur came In nnd he laughed," she
continued. "That was when I told him
about my meeting Miss Heckltt. He
told tne that she had no mere intention
of giving Oscar up than Oscar had of
giving her up. And he told me that
Oscar would net be home thnt night for
dinner.
"And my husband did net come home.
A week or se later he called up one
night and eaid he would net be home
for dinner. At that time Arthur told
me about the couch in the office. I was
se broken up nnd sick that I called Dr.
Harris. I asked him te come out that
night.
"He came out te the house and I
took him upstairs te see my baby. And
I told him that the baby was net
sick, biii tnai i was unhuppy. And
I wrote a note and handed it te him
and told him that I did net believe
my husband was true te me. When
he left he said that he would corns back
the next day."
ENTIRE COURTROOM
IS SOBBING OPENLY
The witness had the whole court
room in tears by this time. Leaning
forward In their chairs, some of them
standing, they tried te catch every word
of the testimony. Mrs. Rosier was
talking very fast, and the words were
se faint they could net be heard In some
sectieus of the room.
The members of the Jury were lean-,
Ing forward in their chairs, having
difficulty in hearing the witness.
"Dr. Harris did come back the next
day," Mm. Rosier continued. "I told
him that Oscar wns planning te get
tid of me nnd marry Miss Reckltt. He
told me net te worry. 'Make a per
sonal nppeal te Oscar,' he told me. And
Dr. Hnrrlt told me te make myself
mere neat and tidy.
"I did that for n few days, but my
iiu-band ignored me. ,
"About a week later Oscar called
me en the telephone nnd told me that
lie would net be home te dinner. Arthur
enme home n little later and told me
that Oscar and Miss Hcckitt were alone
in the office, that it was net anything
te ec Miss Hcckitt sitting en OscarN
lap."
Here the witness broke down again.
Sh placed her head en Court Officer
Adnmen's chest, crying and sobbing.
Finally she centinued:
"Thnt night Oscar enme home and I
went te him. I snid, 'Oscar, won't jeu
stay by me? I can't stand it.'
"He pushed me nslde and went up
stairs. The next evening Arthur told
me tlm same thing. And then, the next
day, 1 went Inte town te de some
shopping. Later I went te my hus
band's office. There I saw Miss
Reekitt.

I went te bed. I heard him talking

up the revolver and it exploded. My

ran in the roea. and took It away
from me.
Comforted By Stepson
"Little Junier came Inte the room,
and he was crying. He said, 'Mether,
mother, den-'t cry.' "
Mrs. Rosier slumped forward, her
head en her folded arms, and sobbed
loudly. It was two or three minutes
before she had sufficiently recovered
ber composure te proceed.
"I went back te bed a little later,"
she said, "and I heard my husbnnd
telling Arthur that he wished I had

Then .Mrs. Hosier put her hend en

"There they were together their
heade were toward me. l That's all
I remember," waa the witness'
.dramatic climax of her story and
then she fainted away.
Before Mrs. Rosier took stand de
fense sprang a sensational sur
prise by the testimony of a hos
pital orderly who said Misa
Reekitt, five minutes before she
died, confessed Mrs. Rosier had
"caught- us" meaning herself and
Osear Rosier.
Same witness scored a point for the
State by declaring Mrs. Rosier
had said, "Didn't I tell you te
keep away from my husband,"
after the girl had made her ad
mission. "That evening when Oscar came
home, I told him of the action of Ar
thur, end he said:
' 'He msy as well hare you as some
ether man. I am through.'
"On Thursday night Arthur came
home te dinner ana, I neked if he
had any idea what time Oscar would be
home. He said something about him
having some work te de, end said he
had no Idea of the time.
"I waited a while and then I called
the office en the phone and get no reply.
I walked the fleer crying and finally I
called the office a second time and then
a third. As I was calling the thlru
time my husband came In and took' off
his coat nnd bat, and I asked him if
lie had been out with that Reckltt girl
again. ,
Determined en Suicide
"He grabbed my arms and pulled me
into the kitchen. 'You're net going te
tell me who I'm te go out with,r he
said. He took held of my hand and
twisted my arm behind my back and
hurt me se that I was exhausted. Thai
night I resolved te end lt all. I
couldn't stand it any longer. I walked
the fleer all night, and finally took a
bottle containing poison, and put it
in my coat pocket. In the morning I
called Mrs. Elsea (a neighbor) en the
tcephene nnd told her about my trouble.
"She insisted en me meeting her at
the Hetel Walten after I told her that
I was going te take poison. I went In
town and met her Friday morning and
she said 'Please don't think of such a
thing aa ending your life,' and she
finally prevailed en me te go with her te
a restaurant nt Twelfth nnd Locust
streets, where I get a cup of wine.
"After that I felt a little better and
asked Mrs. Elsea if she wouldn't go te
my husband's office with me, where I
would ask him if he wouldn't give up
Miss Reekitt. I went there and found
Miss Reekitt in the first office nnd my

ARTHUR PICTURED
AS ARCH-PLOTTER
"While at lunch," Mrs. Rosier went
en, "Arthur Rosier told me thnt there
would be a possibility of Oscar and Mlsa
Heckltt being together that afternoon.
I asked him if there was a pesslbUitv
of my winning back Oscar, because I
loved htm. He told me there was net.
"I went te the office, and I spoke
te Mr. Hntcheler, asking hew United
Rotogravure Service was, and he said
everything was fine. Then I went te the
bathroom and locked the deer.
"There en the chair I saw Miss
Reckltt's hat and pocketbook. I opened
It and I saw a diary with love notes
from Oscar, in my husband's hand
writing. Oh, I was broken hearted. And
as I came out of the bathroom Arthur
pointed and said 'The deer's closed.'
"I went out, back te the store, and
determined te buy a gun and end my

Mrs. Rosier said the last words tn a
low elee. 8he straightened in her
chair, as though the picture had risen
before her in all lta horror. She half
rose from ber chair, gasped, and fell
back, into the arms of Adarosen, in a
dead faint.
There was net a dry eye ln the court
room. Even the jurors were weeping,
nnd Judge Barratt wns visibly affected.
In n moment Mrs. Rosier seemed te
regain consciousness, nnd she began
te Beb again. Her shoulders shook,
her chest rose and fell tempestuously,
nnd the noise of her weeplug resounded
through the room.
The sobs of women, all through the
courtroom, were plainly audible, min
gling witht Mrs. Rosier's. Then, after
a few minutes of violent weeping, she
was still Again and lay back with her
hend en Adnjnsen's breast and her eyes
closed,
It was several minutes before she was
revived. She seemed te be in pain.
Finally she was able te proceed.
"After thnt. what happened, Mrs.
Rosier?" Mr. Scott asked.
"I remember being In an office where
there were a let of people."
"De you remember being In a patrol
wagon?'' "Ne. air."
"De you remember seeing Mr. Con Con Cen

"De you remember being In the Cen

taken by the officers?" "I have a rec
ollection of being somewhere, but I
don't knew where It was."
"De veu remember what took place,
when you saw me nnd Mr. Cenner?"
"I de net."
"Mrs. Rosier, let your mind go back

"Mrs. Rosier, de you remember the

In tne house with Arthur, the time that
you called Mrs. Elsea T" ''Yes. my hus
band told sae that' he was going te New
Yerk, and I was afraid te star alone in
the house with Arthur and I asked if
she would come out. She told me tnat
she would."1
Mr. Scott then asked for the note
she had given te Dr. Harris, It waa
produced, and he handed it te Mrs."
Rester, who read it, and said It was
ths ens she had siren te the fsmlly
physician, telling htm she had learned
her husband waa unfaithful te her.
Mr. Scott then showed Mrs. Rosier
the bottle of poison and said: "Will
you leek at this bottle and say whether
it is the bottle you took from the medi
cine cabinet of your home with the in
tention of committing suicide, 'and
showed te Mrs. Elsea, when she told
you net te take the poison because of
the terrible lingering death which would
ensue?"
Mrs. Rosier poured some of the poison
into her hand. She replied, "Yes."
Judge Barratt looked toward the
court officer and nodded.
POISON IS REMOVED
FROM WOMAN'S HAND
Adamsen grasped Mrs. Rosier's hand.
tently unclasped her fingers, and
oeked te see if she had retained 'any
of the poison. The Judge evidently was
fearful that the defendant might have
sought te get some of the poison ie kill
herself In the midst of her trial. Adam
son shook his head "Ne," and the dra
matic bit of byplay was ever.
"Mrs. Rosier, why did you have this
poison in the medicine chest?" asked
Mr. Scott.
!'I get it last summer at the time my
husband hurt his feet and bathed it
in a solution made with the poison,"
she sold.
"Did you have an engagement with
your husband the afternoon of January
21?" asked Mr. Scott. "Ne."
"Did your husband speak te you
about any such engagement?" "Ne."
"When Arthur Rosier told you about
the hopelessness of your efforts te get
your husband back and told you that
your husband nnd Mildred Reekitt were
alone, why did you go te his office?"
Planned Final Appeal
"I went up te make a final appeal,
thinking that, perhaps I could bring
about some sort of reconciliation."
"Before Arthur Rosier came into
your life, what waa your condition as
te health and mind and happiness?"
"I was very bsppy. I loved my hus
band and be seemed te lore me."
"Why did you purchase the revolver
en January 21?"
"Te go back te ray husband's office
and kill myself in their presence, se
they could see what they had driven
me te."
"Did you go back with the intention
of killing Miss Reckltt or your hus
band?" "Oh, no, I lered him te well te
kill him."
Once mere Mrs. Rosier's head fell
forward. She burled her head tn her
hands and sobbed aloud.
"Will you say, Mrs. Rosier, whether
or net it was the habit of your hus
band te wear glasses at all times?"
"Yes, he were them at all times."
CROSS-EXAMINATION
ORDEAL IS STARTED
Mr. Scott then turned her ever for
cress-examination, and Judge Barrntt
ordered a ten -minute recess te give the
defendant an opportunity te recover
herwlf.
Mrs. Rosier wng led from the stand,
supported by Deputy Sheriff Brune, and
taken out te get a breath of fresh air.
Tha women spectators followed her
with sympathetic eyes until she dis
appeared, and then sought te locate
Arthur Rosier In the courtroom.
He was sitting te the left, near the
press tables in tne front. Be sat be
side Miss Reckltt's father, and before
the morning session began had been
chatting chummily with him. William
Reekitt, the father, showed little emo
tion during the recital of Mrs. Rester's
story.
Mrs. Sue Raid, Mrs, Rosier's
mother, was sitting back among the
spectators. She sat very quiet during
the dramatic narrative of the death of
Oscar Rosier and Miss Reckltt, but
when the examination in chief was
ever nnd Mrs. Rosier was being led
from the stnnd the mother began te
weep violently and for a moment seem
ed te be en the verge of collapse. A
court officer brought her a glass of
water.
Baby Richard was In an anteroom
during his mother's ordeal.
Perhaps in no trial have se many
women given way unrebuked te their
emotions. Every wemsn had her hand
kerchief in use, nnd most of the men
also were blowing their noses or openly
wiping their eyes. Sobs were audible
en every side. One elderly woman gave
way se te her emotion that she rested
her hend en the shoulder of a man
nearby.
During the most tense moments of
Mrs. Heler's testimony, while ehe wns
telling the story of her broken life and
shattered 'eve, the noise of cheerlne
nnd the jnzrlng strains of i brass band
were wafted te the courtroom
strangely Incongruous with the heart
break which surcharged the heavy air
of the court.
Hear Shouts of Students
Down In the street, weaving around
Citv Hall, the Joyous thousands from
the' 1'nlverslty of Pennsylvania were
rioting in n snake dance in celebra
tion of the great victory ever An An
nnpelis Saturday.
Mrs. Rosier was telling of her final
attempt nt reconciliation with her hus
bnnd nt the very moment that the
..rv,v.. 0( the brasses and the big drum
and the hearse shouts of the joy-mad
students found their way into the court
room. Apparently she did net hear the
band, or hearing It, paid no attention.
She went en in the same faltering voice,
but for ii moment every one ln the
lourtreom wns almost painfully con
scious of lhi contrast bstween mirth
without nnd tragedy within,
Mrs. Rosier seemed mera composed
after the recess. She took her seat
quietly, looked toward Judge Barratt
and then turned toward Mr. Speiser,
as if la signal thnt she was ready for
cress-examination. , .
"When were you married te Oscar

"New, Mrs. Rosier, you were In the

The witness did net seem te under

Mrs. Rosier said there bad been some
