PROSECUTION
UNMRGlfutAdvocate General Declared I
Mme Steinheil Was a BornLiar Whose Whole Life Justilled Presumption of Guilt
DEFENSE SCORED POINTWHEN M AUBIN SPOKE
Rumor That the Prisoner IIn-
tends to Address Jury in HerOwn Behalf and a DramaticClimax to the Trial Expected
MAJORITY VOTE PREVAILS
Paris Nov 12The entire sessionof the Steinheil murder trial todaywas taken up with an impassionedplea by Advocate General TrouardRiolle for the conviction of the woman who is charged with having killedher husband and her stepmother AsMadame Steiniteils counsel H Aubin is yet to be heard doubt hasarisen whether the case will go to thejury tomorrow
The prosecutor showed neither pitynor mercy In his address to the juryHe painted the accused woman In theblackest ot colorsas a born liar andas one whose whole life before andafter the crime justified the presumption of guilt He developed the theorythat after the rich and generous loverChouanard abandoned her in 1907Madame StelnheU realized she was almost at the end of her tether and thatwhen she got Maurice Borderel In herclutches she was determined to holdhim even at the price of murder
Burglar Story a MythThe prosecutor Insisted that MadameStelnhells story that burglars com-
mitted the crime was a myth and heuniertook to reconstruct the scenestiat actually happened claiming thatWhile the accused woman and her aepikes were tying Madame Japy MStelnheil was aroused hy the noise antIjumped out of boil Thereupon theyattacked and killed him and returnlag to Madame Japys room found herIn a bad fright
M Trourard Rlolle undertook to account for the stopping of the clock Inthe Stenhell home after the murderadvancing the theory that MadameStelnhell In her anguish could not endure the ticking An expert testifiedduring the trial that the clock hadbeen stopped by hand as It was beingwound up
Defense Makes a PointThe argument of Mr Trourard Rlolle
left the Impression that the testimonyupon which It was based was too conflicting and that his finespun presumptions were too precise leavinghim vulnerable to his antagonist MAubin The latter scored heavily atthe conclusion of the prosecutors address when he challenged M TrourardRlolle to name Marietta Wolf the cookill the Stelnhell home and her sonAlexander whom throughout the ar-gument M Trourard Rlolle had hintedat as being accomplices of MadameStelnhell Throughout the day MadameStElnhell seemed terribly depressedNot once did she Interrupt the proceedIngs though frequently she clenchedher fists and showed signs of angerwhen the prosecutor made particularlyodious Insinuations against her It Isunderstood that at the conclusion ofM Auhlns address Madame Stein hellIntends to address the jury In her ownbehalf This would make a dramaticclimax and It Is expected would havea powerful Influence on the jury whichis reported to be evenly divided
French Court ProcedureTwo things must be remembered in
connection with a French verdictFirst the majority vote prevails theforeman of the jury having two votesIf there be a tie second the jurors arenot confined but are permitted to return to their homes at night wherethey are sUbjected to the possible Influence of their wives It Is notoriousthat whereas a majority of thE menhere favor the acquittal of MadameStelnhell the women almost unanimously believe she Is guilty
Madame Stelnhell Is being delugedwith letters of every character manyof them containing offers of mlJrrlage-It she Is acquitted Enterprising theatrical managers are trying to arrangefor her Immediate appearance on thestage after release one having offered
2000 for thirty appearances MadameStein hell is represented as havingthrown these letters away In a rage
