Scene of Tragedy San Francisco Nov 12A report was brought to this city today from the Unit ed States military prison at Alcatraz Isl- and that Quartermaster Sergeant Roy Ford after killing Thomas Malally an army clerk by hurling him from a win dow ot the barracks to the rocks last night blew out his own brains FrIends heard the men Quarreling In an adjoining room and a short time there after they heard Mulally utter a piercing cry as he was hurled from the window His neck was broken While the prison officers were exam ining the body Ford appeared and an- nounced that Mulally had fallen trom the window When hl was told that Mulally was dead Ford disappeared While the body WaS being carried to the guard house a shot was heard and Ford was found dead In a nearby storeroom I He Paints Woman in Dark Colors PROSECUTION UNMRGlfut Advocate General Declared I Mme Steinheil Was a Born Liar Whose Whole Life Jus tilled Presumption of Guilt DEFENSE SCORED POINT WHEN M AUBIN SPOKE Rumor That the Prisoner I In- tends to Address Jury in Her Own Behalf and a Dramatic Climax to the Trial Expected MAJORITY VOTE PREVAILS Paris Nov 12The entire session of the Steinheil murder trial today was taken up with an impassioned plea by Advocate General Trouard Riolle for the conviction of the wom an who is charged with having killed her husband and her stepmother As Madame Steiniteils counsel H Au bin is yet to be heard doubt has arisen whether the case will go to the jury tomorrow The prosecutor showed neither pity nor mercy In his address to the jury He painted the accused woman In the blackest ot colorsas a born liar and as one whose whole life before and after the crime justified the presump tion of guilt He developed the theory that after the rich and generous lover Chouanard abandoned her in 1907 Madame StelnheU realized she was al most at the end of her tether and that when she got Maurice Borderel In her clutches she was determined to hold him even at the price of murder Burglar Story a Myth The prosecutor Insisted that Madame Stelnhells story that burglars com- mitted the crime was a myth and he uniertook to reconstruct the scenes tiat actually happened claiming that While the accused woman and her ae pikes were tying Madame Japy M Stelnheil was aroused hy the noise antI jumped out of boil Thereupon they attacked and killed him and return lag to Madame Japys room found her In a bad fright M Trourard Rlolle undertook to ac count for the stopping of the clock In the Stenhell home after the murder advancing the theory that Madame Stelnhell In her anguish could not en dure the ticking An expert testified during the trial that the clock had been stopped by hand as It was being wound up Defense Makes a Point The argument of Mr Trourard Rlolle left the Impression that the testimony upon which It was based was too con flicting and that his finespun pre sumptions were too precise leaving him vulnerable to his antagonist M Aubin The latter scored heavily at the conclusion of the prosecutors ad dress when he challenged M Trourard Rlolle to name Marietta Wolf the cook ill the Stelnhell home and her son Alexander whom throughout the ar- gument M Trourard Rlolle had hinted at as being accomplices of Madame Stelnhell Throughout the day Madame StElnhell seemed terribly depressed Not once did she Interrupt the proceed Ings though frequently she clenched her fists and showed signs of anger when the prosecutor made particularly odious Insinuations against her It Is understood that at the conclusion of M Auhlns address Madame Stein hell Intends to address the jury In her own behalf This would make a dramatic climax and It Is expected would have a powerful Influence on the jury which is reported to be evenly divided French Court Procedure Two things must be remembered in connection with a French verdict First the majority vote prevails the foreman of the jury having two votes If there be a tie second the jurors are not confined but are permitted to re turn to their homes at night where they are sUbjected to the possible In fluence of their wives It Is notorious that whereas a majority of thE men here favor the acquittal of Madame Stelnhell the women almost unani mously believe she Is guilty Madame Stelnhell Is being deluged with letters of every character many of them containing offers of mlJrrlage- It she Is acquitted Enterprising theat rical managers are trying to arrange for her Immediate appearance on the stage after release one having offered 2000 for thirty appearances Madame Stein hell is represented as having thrown these letters away In a rage MATRIMONY ON BRAIN Former Young Salt Laker in Jail at Detroit Charged With Having Surplus of Wives i Special to The HeraldRepublican Detroit

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
