The fishing party returned home last evening, bringing with them se eral pounds of fish and a few bushels of clams. Their stock of fish stories has been abundantly replenished. Fresh from the excursion some of the party passed out gifts of fish declaring them to be trout. The landlubber who recelved them would not look the gift horse in the mouth,but a rude skeptic declared that if they were trout they were wonderfully camouflaged, They did indeed look more like flat fish and there were some weak the package.

This would commit her to the State Asylum. Walter D. Corrigan for the prose- cution, and James Clancy for the de- fense, delivered the closing argu- ments in the trial which began on May 13. Mr. Corrigan, in demanding the maximum penalty, declared that neither Dr. David Roberts nor Mi Lusk was on trial for their relation- ship, and that the only question to he decided was the responsibility for the death of an Innocent woman. Mr. Corrigan argued that the words and actions of the defendant proved her sanc at the time of the shooting. He read the note she wrote imme- diately after the tragedy in which she said: “May God forgive me,” and recalled her statement four days later to three witnesses that she realized what she had done, but could not un- derstand how she did it so “calmly and deliberately.” Mr. Clancey cited on the witness stand by both Miss Tusk and Dr. Roberts as the best proof that the defendant was insane, arguing that a woman of her admit- ted social and educational'attainments would be incapable of the things re- vealed if she were sane. He referred to the nental taint in her familyva nd wervous breakdown shortly before she mbt Dr. Roberts in 1913 as prov- ing the testimony given by five alien- ists for the defense that she was suffering from paranoia.
