.i very wolthy mother He mauled
and to better his condition he moed
out west, accepting einplojinent on a
lullioad, find In Iowa and then in
Mlciiltrtin. "While winking in this lat
ter Mutd ho met with a civ seilous

illness, was most devoted to him, was
fotcod to wlthdtaw Horn his compan

MOTIll.lt Wll.l. (SO ON STANO
Slie will k on the stand, Mr. Weile
liian said, and testlfv to what Is
aened above. His mother will go on
the htand, ho further said, and will tes
tify that her son was in almost con
stant wony about the Injuiy to his
head, that he was far fiom being the
same man. mentally, that he was befoie
the accident, that frequently he would
giasp his head between his hands and
iy out: "Mother, I can't stand It.
My head will buist," and then, utionir
man though he was, lie would cry like
a child.
Some eight or ten yeais ago Van
Horn came to woik in Srraiiton and
btiatne a bu.uder at Mis. Wescott's.
' Uy that peculiar, insidious and Irieltll
nlte something, which sane students
of human uattiie call afllnlty" as Mr.
AVeileninn put It, drew these two poo
lIe together and Horn the veiy Hist
they loved each (tl.ei. Theie love was
or the most anient kind, but they could
not 0'ienly avow It because of vMis.
AVescctt Inning a husband living. TJn-y
vwiv however, man and wife, vlitually
You may call It Illicit love" said Mr.
AVedeinan. but If ier two people did
love It was (ieoige Van Horn and Mis
Wescott. For ten uirs there never
was a time -vv lieu their love and falth
1 ulness for each other ceased, r:cept
when he had taken some diink he waa
the devoted lovi r of this woman. On
tin so excepted uieaMnns ho was nut
himself. Dilnk affected hlni mole,
than It did the oidluaiy person, with
lull metal pQweis. it deatroyed his
discretion and bluitcd hs liner quail
tics It made him li responsible for

"He" lived with her and they enjoyed
each othets affections. In doing this
however thoy were Very regaidful of
the commoji iltrci'iiclt h. Sirs. Wcnt
cott's duughterrMrs."JolinJ'Vau Horn,
howevei, formed an umlputhy tornul
A an Horn and the icsult was that uln
MKceedcd In forcing thi tn to live ap'ttt.
Their inutlal lovo would not, however,
allow them to long be seperated, and
-non 'ter the' jlauglijer cume between
them, ,thfy met mid ucrn-ftl to fimrtinuo
their rjlntlon clandfjstinvly The cel
lar was chosen ns a rendezvous and It
was artanKt'd that .t vrlilte clothing
hung from the side window should bo
the signal for a tryst. This plan was
ni toil, ypyri nnd It waa tlurlnK one of
these lmetlngH that the unfortunate
affair occured."
8HK WAS IN THAKS.
A witness would be put on the stand,
Mr. Wcdeipaii eald, who would testify
that she fouVul Mrs Wei-eott In teats
one day and.'jisklnj;-hur-.vv hat wajj llu

As an Instance of Van Horn'n liu
imnect jpental faculties Mr. Wuleman
"Upf how the accused could nqt -

tllBnburn for nvliom he wo-ked last
y$ar and how It wan necessary In
oYdfcr to secure this witness to gel a
subpoena directed to "the owner of
the farmer Just below the brhlg-, ths

Van Horn would go oinj.holjjtund, Mr,
Vedemun said, nnd tell the detailed
itjuy f tvl,ttflo(jw,'!,. which in
outline is nnfiulUAVtn yi(p gnals were
exchanged ili "usual anJ itxey met In
the cellar. They had a long talk, nlt
tlng tocether on the tellar steps, and
not a little of their conversation was
regarding the possibility of their liv

"Ilrnce no nnd be u mnn." said Mts.
Wescott. "Oo to work nnd when you
are able to make n homo for us, wo
will go nwny some plnte and live Imp
Iy together."
Van Horn Joked about the scolding
(ilin was giving him nnd said: "Aten't
you afraid ttr tnlk to me like that, see
how easily 1 could kill you," at the
same time di awing the back of hl.s
razor, as ho supposed, actoss her
thmat.
Shu withdrew her arm from nbout
his neck and exclaimed: "Oeotge.
Oeotge, you've cut me!" "Oh, 1 guess
not," said Van Ilwn, leaning down nnd
looking nt her neck.
THi: SIC1HT Ol" 11LOOI).
The sight ot the blood, w lilcli wns
beginning to .show Itself, sent a tin 111
of honor through him nnd, chopping
his ra7or, he slatted upstairs after Mis,
Veentt, who had rushed out while ho
wns standing dumbfounded at what he
had done. Then he did what every
other pel son would do In such n plight
and amid the excitement of the mo
ment, lied fiom the scene.
It would be futther shown that Mis.
Wescott gave Van Horn ti dollar that
night: thnt they usually pur their sav
ings together and that when Van Hutu
was in need of money he went to Mis.
Wescott for It
That he said some of the inttlebialu
things that the commonwealth alleges
would be admitted, but that he went I
mound like a lion roaring out on the
streets thnt he would do bloodv min
der, in this or that paitlctilar way. nnd
then ecajie In this or that fashion,
would be shown to be as untrue ns It
Is nieposterous even for such a men
tally doHclont unfortunate as George
Van Horn.
That Mts. Wescott sought Van Horn's
company; that she came to visit him
where he would happen to be woik
i lug. that she leleuted for the attest
which she was forced to make, and that
she. In line, ftoin tho first time they
met loved Geingp Van Horn devotedly
land unceasingly, fine pai titular wlt
i nes, he said, would tell that on one
I occasion Van Horn nnd Mis. Wescott,
together with the witness, walked over
fiom Hyde Park, not long befoie the
killing. At the l.lnden sticct bridge
Mis. Wescott stopped nnd told Van
Hoi n to wait theie until she wmt
ahead to see If eveiy thing wns nil
right. Anothet witness would tell that
Mrs. Wescott sent wend one nlsht to
Van Horn to come ovei : that the chll
dten weie out nnd the coast was dear.
filming disciepancies would bo shown
In the commonwealth's testimony nnd
much of their now iipnaiently strong
case would be sh.it tel til. He asked the
Jul to follow the evidence closely and
give the defendant the heiuilt of every
reasonable doubt.
The dete"se temlled several wit
nesses of the luosoiutlon for eioss-e-nmiuatlon,
nmoim them ilr., John Van
Hoi n, who denied that her mother and
George Van limn lived ns man nnd
wife 'it .iliv fine nnd th.it she herself
had exptesscd n willingness to pull the
iope that would hang Van lloin.
