SHEER EEE ERR CONTENTIONS IN PATTERSON CASE The prosecution claims That Mrs, Patterson Jured her husband out for a walk on Sept. 25, and then deliberately shot him down, her motive being a desire to get rid of her consumptive husband, so that she could go back to Emil Strouss without molestation. It will further be claimed by the state that Mrs. Patierson was an- gered because of the $25,000 alienation suit Patterson instituted against Strouss. Letters will be submitted in evidence showing that Patterson feared his wife would kill him. A verdict of urder in the first degree, with the penalty of hanging, will be asked for, The defense claims That the busband was the aggressor and that Mrs. son shot him down in defense of her own life. cation will be shown in an alleged sale of Mrs. her husband to Strouss for $1,500. The greater part of the alle- gations by the state will be admitted, but it will be claimed that the alleged sale of Mrs. Patterson towered above all else—and that she bad a right to kill under the unwritten law The state will have six witnesses—the defense 14 - Patter- Further justifi- Patterson by SSSSHSSSSRESSS ESSE SES EE Teeee eee eee eee eee ee see et RARRAHAAAAAHAE AREER REAR EER loins The witnes# admitved that she ordered Patterson's mother from the sanitorlum where he was confined.
