defense, made the opening argument
for that side of the case. Mr. Robin
son began liy stating that contrary to
the expectations of the prosecution
and possibly others, the defense
would not say one word about sym
pathy or rpake any appeal because
the defendant was a woman. On the
other hand, ho saifi, they were out
after the truth; that the case ' in
hand was the one to he tried and not
some theory in a hook. He said that
:t was not humanly possible for a
r>«<rson to have written such horrible
Setters as those in question unless
there was some motive behind the
author, and that not a single reason
wrhy the defendant should have writ-!
ten them had been brought out r ur-!
Ing the trial.
Mr. Robinson said that if the de
fendant had written the letters she
would have had to' change abruptly
without any reason whatever, tfie
training and living of 43 years: she
would have had to change without
any known cause from a highly re- j
speetable, accomplished woman into
a creature so low that she could n<Y
fall lower. “It is impossible for ai
person to do this without some mo-1
live being behind it,” said M.". Os
borne, “and absolutely no motive has j
been shown.” It Is the big things on'
which the case must he decided, he (
•aid, and not on the little things. !
F. H. Weston, also attorney for
the defense, closed the argument, and
dwelt at length on the happenings on
October 12th. the dav of the MeGrcg-
or-Boyle wedding and the letters re
reived afterwards. He showed how
1 it was Impossible for Mrs. Ingram to
have mailed the two special delivery
letters on October 12th. as she had
remained at home all of that day. re
marking that certainly a person who-
had writttm letters of the nature of |
those two. would not have trusted
them to the hands of a third person
for mailing. Referring to the two let
ters received after Mr. Ingram had
been confronted with the charge tn
the office of Inspector Knight, he said
that if Mr. and Mrs. Ingram had con
nived together to write these letters i
after this time, and had deliberately J
put their puny efforts against the s,
whole resources of the government,
then they were fools, and that cer
tainly their actions since coming in
