THE FLEllllN_G_ DEFENSE
Attorney Shaw Opens the Case For
the Alleged Murderess.
A STRONG PRESENTATION.
rue Idea That a. ItIother Would Intrust
Poisoned ("Jam Chowder to the Care
of a. Child Scented—The . \Vit-
messes Against Scheele.
NEW YORK, June 17.—Tho reading of
the letters of Mary Alice Alniont Living-
ston Fleming are over—for the present at
least. During three sessions of the Wom-
an’s trial there have been given to the
court, the jury and the world in general.
efforts from the pen of the defendant at
the bar intended either directly or indirect-
ly for Ferdinand Wilckes, friend and lover
of Mrs. Fleming, and the father of at
least one of her children. In them then
showed a woman of passion at one time
pleading for a return of the man’s love—-
at another inveighing‘ against her mother
and sister, accusing them as the agents of
Wilkes’ neglect of her.
At first these letters moved Mrs. Flem-
ing to laughter, and her half sister, Flor-
ence Bliss, saw in them that measure of
humor that almost reduced her to hys-
terics. It was a bit different later. Miss
Bliss was more careful of her mirth. Mrs.
Fleming barricaded her face with her fan.
Behind this she gave full vent to her emo-
tions, but it wasn’t exactly certain what
form these emotions took. She was credit-
ed by some with having given away to
natural feelings of modesty and to have
sobbed fltfully. Others averred that she
was simply restraining her naturally hu-
morous tendencies.
Mr. Brooks was not in court today when
the self confident defendant came into the
room. As she didn’t have her senior coun-
sel to talk to and bow to, she turned her
attention to the jury box, and a better
bred bow hasn’t been tendered to a man
for a long time than the collective one she
bestowod upon the men who will give her
liberty or death.
There were women in abundance in the
courtroom when the trial opened. Females
were the earliest bipeds that clamor-ed for
admission. “Oh, they can’t keep us pretty
girls out,” said one young woman. with
a frightful hat of unknown vintage when
she had finally seated herself in the most
conspicuous and therefore, to her,desirable
chair in the room. She giggled and with
a mouth full of butter scotch tried to talk
to a fat companion.
The prosecution has finished its case.
Today the defense came to the front.
Before Mr. Shaw opened Mr. Brooke
asked that the letters which werenot put
in evidence be given to him.
“You haveno right to them, " answered
the recorder, "and I have no right to give
them to you. ” ' ‘
“I ask the district attorney to let me
have them/”said. Mr. Brooke turning to
Mr. McIntyre. ,
“The district attorney Will not let you
have them." replied ,Mr. McIntyre. “He
wants them ,for the purpose of. attacking
the credibility of possible witnesses.”
lhaW'aStrong Argument.
“Gentlemen of the jury, ” began Mr.
Shaw as be cleared a larger space around
him and shoved his hnd in his pocket,
“you'll be patient, I trust, with me. My
position is a peculiar one. I am here be-
cause since this chum was made I have
been this woman’s ‘d and shall be to
the end. ” Mr. Shawsa d that he was con-
vinced of Mrs. Fleming’s innocence.
“The charge against this lady is a peculiar
one. You are asked by the district attor-
ney to believe that this woman murdered
her mother under abnormal—almost un-
believable—conditions. You are asked to
believe that in Aug. 30 she ordered a sin-
gle portion of clam chowder; that she sent
this by her own dame; and another lit-
tle girl nine long blocks between 1' and 5
p. m.; that this woman parted: of this
clam chowder in which wuplsaa-Jn such
large quantities as would have killed
dozens of people. That is what you. jury-
men. are asked to believe.”
Mrs. Fleming’s eyes were downcast as
Mr, Shaw warmed to his subject. f‘They
spoiled their case in court. I say. when

they tried to prove that she sent the poison
by her own daughter. No mother would
have done such a thing. I care not how
reckless she may have been, she would
have taken no chances with the life of her
own child. ‘A criminal shuns the light of
day. He moves stealthily. He, calls no
witness is view his crime. He seeks to
cover up his tracks,’ were sentences that
Mr. McIntyre read in explaining the force
of circumstantial evidence.”
Mr. Shaw insisted that, living as she.
did, had Mrs. Fleming committed any
crime she was certain of detection.
Mr. Shaw wouldn’t, he said, under any
circumstances cut out one'word of Flor-
ence King’s testimony. Mrs. Fleming,
whatever her faults, loved her children.
The first words that Mrs. Fleming said to
Gracie when she returned, “I hope you
didn’t taste it,” Mr. Shaw held on to as a
treasure. “Mrs. Fleming didn’t want her
daughter to be a ELOOp, that was all.
.What need,” be “war. on, “to ask her
daughter if she had tasted it, for with all ,
that poison in the chowder Gracie wouldn’t
have returned at all. ”
Mr. Shaw said that all the prosecution
lacked was to bring in a witness who had
watched Mrs. Fleming mix the antimony
and the arsenic in the clam chowder. Mr.
Shaw laughed 'at the idea of motive in the
attempts of Mrs. Fleming to get possession
of this money. “Why, we’llprove to you
that every step this woman took in the
matte: was begun .not only with Mrs.
Bliss‘ knowledge, but with her consent.”
‘Testimony Against Scheele.
At the close of Mr. Shaw’s address,
Max Mansfield, editor of The Platts-
deutscher Post. was called. '
“Did you see him at Kreuger’s saloon
about four weeks ago?’ “Yes, sir.”
“Did Dr. Scheele in your presence and.
hearing on that occasion say: ‘That wom-
an, meaning Mrs. Fleming, must by all
means be convicted; my reputation de-
pends on it?’ ” “Yes.”
He wears a mustache and goatee and
looks sufficiently pugnacious to have en-
gaged in tha row which it is said that he
had with Dr. Scheele only last night. and
in which report has it be came out first
best. Kreuger’s saloon was the place of
this meeting too. Emil Goetler corrobo-
rated the testimony of Mr. Mansfield as to
Dr. Scheele‘s remarks in Kreuger's sa-
loon. .
John F. Neldtley, an agent for a beer
bottling business, testified that he was
present at a beefsteak party on March 27
last. He was introduced to Dr. Schools
and had a talk about the Fleming trial,
in which he said that Dr. Scheele said,
referring to Mrs. Fleming: “This woman
has got to be convicted. If she is not con-
victed, there are papers made out to arrest
her on charges of poisoning five other per-
sons. ”
