FORTUNE SMILED ON CLARA SMITH CONTINUUM PROM PAtlll TllllKri who is lmdouhlcdly a brilliant law yer, knew It. Him Wan Trcnlcd Serenely. llenlly, tho outstanding feature of tho trial wns tho kld-glnved manner everybody employed In dealing with Clara that Is, everybody except tho special prosecutor, II, II. Ilrowu, who brutally assailed her In tils np peal to tho Jury for n conviction. At nil other tlmcn and by all others con nected with thn cAso, including nil of tho stato'H witnesses who had known her, sho Wns treated with consideration thnt sometimes amounted to deference, Ono rpnson for thin seeming tnme ness was tho fact that no effort wns umdo by tho prosecution to attack Clara's character. Only her rela tions, -with llamon enmn to tho at tention of tho Jury. This situation was cheerfully admitted by tho de fense. 8o there was no controversy. Tho atato had subpoenaed about 60 witnesses, liicludlng a number ox pocled to testify concerning Clara's reputation beforo she boenmo Hum on's inli'tress. Hut for sonjo Tonson not explained by tho attorney gon eral, not pno of theso went on tho stand. Tho defense also had sub poenaed a largo number of charac ter witnesses who were to testify to Clara's goodnesn beforo sho met llamon. These couldn't bo lined, however, borausu her reputation wns presumed by tho law to hn good un til attacked by tho ntate, arid ns It never was under flro thoro was no occasion for nny defense testimony along that line. One of theso de fense witnesses was James O'llrlon of Kansas City, a former liwlon yuuiig man nnd Clara's sweetheart beforo llamon came Into her life. ' Kioto I'rnwil One Thing. It was not it very vigorous proso cutlon, though certainly Attorney (lencrnl Kreellng presented the Mate's side of It capably. To on ob server it nppciuud.'ns if only tho HUrfaco was touchod. In all the den yearn they were together, Jako Hnrii on nnd Clara (didn't havo n fight, didn't threaten each othor so far ns tho testimony showed. No ani mosity wan brought out. Practical ly all tho state's testimony had to iu with tho actual shooting. It wus confined almost entirely to state ments 1y frlendu of llamon to whom ho had talked while n his deathbed. Outnldo of that tho stato merely proved that Clara was known to havo carried a pistol, and offered tho service cur driver, Sallls, who drove her airbus Texas lu hor flight and who s.itd sho told hln) sho had shot ii mnn and hoped hn would die". And the defense wns.slmllar. It was confined to a few attempts to Im peauh llamon's so-called, "dying statements" and to Its real reliance tho defendant's own Btory as told by Clnrn on the stand. llefore the opening of tho trial It was reported there was nn agree ment among the attorneys to limit thn testimony to the actual shooting, Clnra'H flight nniUher life with llam on back us far ttf 1913. On the night of tho day tlnf trial opened It was announced by lawyers on both sides very guardedly, of course that this ngi'omcnt wns off and that tho bars were down. Thcro Wcro l,ots of Tears. Hut nfter It's all over It looks very much llko the lawyers got together nfter that and mndo another ngree m (i nt that they didn't let tho report ers get, putting tho burs carefully bark In place again. However, anything lacking In no tion nt that trial wus mado up lu at mosphere. Mrs. Jako Ii, llamon, tho widow, cat opposite from Clara at tho lawyers' table and they fur nished plenty of tears. Tho crowd was, always so dense that you could hardly but your own eye, with Just enough expectation of trouble to mako It Interesting. TIio unfortunate head bailiff had moro grief than anybody else. When Judge jTom Champion would order him to clear tho crowded alslen or mnko room nt tho packed doors, ho would glare mllltantly but helplessly about und Inform the spectators that it they didn't move he'd move 'em. To all of which nobody paid any particular attention. Maybe they would mako a pretense, of obey lug, but n five minutes or leas they would bo back whera they werti be fore.
