without leaving the box. The girlish

heard the wolds that vindicated her,
and then seated herself again at the coun
sel table. 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. No evi
dence was introduced to show any mo
tive for the killing, and a number of
physicians were present to show hund
reds of case", where people have lived
and walked about,although shot through
the heart.
