A moment later her husband placed her furs about her neck and she left the court room nonchalantly. The commonwealth had little on which to base its case, and the scientific presumption, not based on medical facts, that it was a physical impossibility for Edna Varuer to have shot herself m tin heart and then replace the revolver on a shelf several feet away before explr ing, was the principal reason the prose cutiou had for trying the case.
