New Haven, Conn, March 24— When court adjourned _this afternoon in the trial of Sophie Kritchman and Joo Mitchell only the judge's charge remained to be given before the case would be in the hands of the jury and that will be given at 9.40 Saturday morning, court taking a recess over Good Friday. Today’s sessions were devoted to the giving of the final ar- guments of the Mitchell defense and the prosecution. Both Mr. Lynch ef counsel for Mitchell and State Attor- ney Alling scathingly denounced Sophie and_ did not spare her in the least. As these remarks in which she was called a falsifier and the mistress of Mitchell were gdirected at her she v denounced by Mr. Aliing as ing been the brains of the plot ich resulted in the murdered man's h, met these accusations with a smile, though he displayed more nerv- ousne: during the final argument for the state than at any other time dur- ing the trial. Attorney Lynch’s Word Picture of the Crime. Mr. Lynch in his argument went over the ground covered by witnesses in establishing an alibt for Mitchell and gave a graphic demonstration of how it was possible to hold a revelver in the hand with a finger on the trigger and seemingly try with all one's strength to pull the trigger. The muscles and tendons stood out on ‘his arms like whipeords but the trigger did not move and then he showed how easily the trigger could be pulled if one wanted to. Near the end of his argument he said, “I am about to close, but before I do so let me recall one more witness—this one from the dead. As Ben Kulvinskas Ify writh- ing in agony beneath the shade of the white alders on that hot Séptember afternoon, his!life’s blood fast flowing from numerous ly wounds, he gave a parting message to the world. There was no kindly hand to Nft the cup to his parched lips, no Sympa- thetic friend to sooth his fevered brow. No companion belng near to whom he might relate his tale, he took a piece of paper from his pocket and scrawled as best he could the message that should free Joe Mitchell” and turning directly to the accused girl Mr, Lynch reag from the blood-stained note, “Sophie shot me, Sophie Kritchman it seems 1 must die at your hands at two_after dinner”-and the girl looked up into Mr, Lynch’'s face and smiled. “Some twenty-eight years ag aid Mr. Lynch, “Joseph Mitchell was born in far-off Lithuanio. His aged father andsquother are still in the old land, and at this moment are waiting and watching anxiously for a message from you—a message that will mean hope or despair for them—and life or death | for, their son.” Prosecutor Alling Declares It a First Degree Murder. In,opening Mr. Alling said that the death of Kulvinskas was wilful delib- erate and premeditated murder, mur- der in the first degree, an awful crime, as. Sophie has told you. And the key- note of the whole crime Mr. Alling sald. was the answer to the question of Walter Roberts: *“Who shot you,” which was “A Union City girl and a ‘Waterbury fellow.” Sophie, Mr. Alling said, was the mistress of Joe Mitchell, who was attracted by her education, and musical ability and that Mitchell was the kind of a man that such_a girl would attract. She be- longed to a class of women, said Mr. Alling, “that 2 man Hke Mitchell would innt do anything to call his own.. Do you blame Joe Mitchell for wanting to pos- sess her, first by proposing _mi and later as his mistress. You have noticed her composure, her acting, her conduct at this trial and you can un- derstand how he felt. Their relations were too -strong for him to allow: any= one to come between them.” The prosecutor read some of Sophie’s letters to Mitchell which he said breathed of passion and that was why Joe saved them. The letters showed she was ready to become his but the illicit - relations of a mistress were good enough for. him.” In describing the shooting Mr. Alling said: “Sophie had the courage and Mitchell ‘the brains, for he planned-the She fired the shots when he it, that showed the ellow streak in him.” In speaking of Sophle’s engagement to the Chicago ician he “What a woman ! She betrayed her fiance every day last summer and would she not bertay Ben?” Tells of Incidents at Kritchman Home In telling of the Incidents at the Kritchman home on the Thursday night before the shooting Mr. Alling called the attention of the jury to the fact that Mitchell has testified that he sat on the cot all the evening and didn’t get up omce. That Mr. Alling said was not so. The key which Mitch- ell had said he had for five years, Mr. Alling said he had had but five min- utes_and he said, “They unlocked the trunk up in Anton’s room that night and took out the revolver. He kept the key because they wanted to get the revolver back the next day, but So- phie spoiled all that when she threw the gun at Ben after shooting him.” He told 'of how Mitchell found the postal card on the piano addressed to Dr. Rilkauskas, in Chicago, and how Mitchell said he kept & portion of it and read it out on the street under an electric light where he and Sophie had gone, he on his way home, and she with him for a little walk, and where Mitchell testified that Sophie had seid, “You won't walk the streets very long,” and that while they were standing therp some people went by and saw them. “They were not out there” Mr. All- ing said, “for the purpose of reading the postal card. They were there for another purpose and when those peo- ple passed by and saw them they went back to the house where a more se- cluded spot was agreed upon.” Con- tinuing. Mr. Alling sai “Mitchell had said that Bronislow would be car- ried out of Union City like a dead dog. Didn’t Sophie lead Ben out of Union City like a little dog on & String, later to_be carried out like a dead dog? Mr. Alling described the position Sophie testifled she was in when Ben was she She was on his left side, one of his arms around her neck and the other hand on her ankle. “Mitch- ell,” said Mr. Alling, “must have been a sharpshooter to shoot through the bushes in back of the two and hit Kulvinskas in the stomach.” In elosing, Mr. Alling said the crime was one of the most dastardly in the annals of the county. “Where is the pity for these two? ‘Please, please,’” he said to his murderers, and they sald ‘Shut up or I will kill!” He asked for bread and she gave him a stone.” To the jury he said: “It took courage to commit this awful crime and it will take courage for you to do your full duty to the case from the evidence given.” In excusing the jury until Saturday morning Judge Williams cautioned them about allowing any word of com- ment on the case to reach their ears.

FOR A CLEAN SUNDAY. Councilman Finnigan to Issue Clearing Up Order to the Police. Councilman Edward, J.

It would not be a hardship to take in these things on Saturday evenings. e ————————————————————— A LITTLE THING Changes the Home Feeling. PITTSBURG GRAFTERS CONFESS. Climax of Sensation Reached When Former Councilman Fainted. Pittsburg, Pa., March 24.—The eon- fessions of six men who appeared be- fore Judge Frazer today were accom- panied - by sensations. The climax came when George B. Anderson, a for- mer select councilman, fainted when the court asked him if he ever received money for his vote. Before the judge could finish his question, Anderson fell backward, striking his head forcibly on the hardwood floor of the court. room. Attendants and attorneys rush- ©d to his ald and when he was revived he answered the judge’s questions as though tnere had' been mo interrup- on. Robert E. Cochrane, formerly a member of councils, admitted receiv- ing 3600 to vote for the bank deposi- tory ordinance, and $500 for the ordi- nance vacating South Seventh street. His admissions startled Judge Frazer, Who wanted to know how it came that he received so much for voting these measures whereas other councilmen received much less. Cochrane was unable to make a satisfactory expla- nation.” He insisted that he distributed none of the money. Judge Frazer re- minded Cochrane that this was a se- rious matter and he would have to take the case under consideration. No uspension of sentence was granted Cochrane, and he left the courtroom a disappointed man, William Brand, former president of common council, whose statement to the district attorney was so -unsatis- factory, had his liberty cut short to- day. He was sent to the penitentiary to begin serving the eighteen months’ sentence for bribery, on which he was convicted some months ago. District Attorney Blakeley insisted that Brand @id not tell the whole truth and that he was shielding someone. The dis- trict attorney had the names of the persons Brand is charged with shield- ing but Brand would not give the de- sired information. ‘Wasson’ and Klein’s confessions, however, cover these moints, according to the county prosecutor.
