Bridgeport, Jan. 11.?Attorneys for
both Hides to-day in their summing
up in the ease of KUvood B. Wade.
cnargeu wun me mumn ui uvwisu u.
Nott in h.s home here last August, denounced
the dead man's widow, Mrs.
Ethel Hutchins Nott, for the part she
is alleged to have played in the killing.
Attorney William II. Comley,
chief counsel for Wade, characterized
the woman as Wade's "evil genius.'1
and declared that Wade took no wrong
step except under her direction.
During the closing moments of the
trial Mrs. Mary S. Wade, the young
wife of the defendant, became hysterical
as Attorney K. Earle Garlick,
assistant to State's Attorney Homer
S. Cummings, was describing to the
jury the scene in the Nott home as
Wade first beat Nott over the head
with an iron bar and then shot and
stabbed him.
"Neither Wade r.or Mrs. Nott." declared
Attorney CSarbck. "dared let that
blood smeared man get out of the door
alive and bring detection upon them.
That is why they used the knife on
Nott."
It was then that Mrs. Wade interrupted
the trial. She jumped to her
feet, screaming "No: No! No!" She
ripped the hat from her head, tore It
across and flung it down on the floor
beside her. Then she buried her face
in her hands and began crying loudly. I
Deputy sheriffs tried to calm her, but
she grew worse, and they Anally carried
her from the room on their shoulders.
Dr. Charles C. Godfrey, Dr. John C.
Lynch and Dr. David M. Trecartln, alienists,
were recalled to the stand by the
State and the defence during the morning
session of the trial. Dr. Lynch testified
that Wade, minus his criminal record.
could never he admitted to an insane
asylum because the man was sane,
though not strong mentally. He also
testified that Wade is not a sufferer
from hallucinations or melancholia, and
added that on several psychological tests
the man had been slow In starting, which
"Is a possible reason for his failure in
many of them."
Dr. Trecartln testified that when he
examined Wade the defendant showed

no signs of mental disorders, and that In I
his opinion Wade was sane and capable
of distinguishing right front wrong at j
the time N'ott was murdered. Ho also;
contended that Wade was not suffering ]
from "an IrreMstible impulse" as a result !
of disease, and said that although he j
had termed Wade a moron he had used ;
the term in a broad sense.
Similar testimony was given by Dr.
| Godfrey, who expressed the belief that
, the motive for the crime was a sane desire
to "beat up" Nott and get square
for cruellies inflicted upon Mrs. Nott by
her husband.
Attorney Comley tor the defence in
his summing up of the case arraigned
Mrs. Nott as bitterly as did Mr. Cummings
and Mr. Garlick.
"I feared." said Mr. Comley. ''that it
would be my painful part to snatch from
that weeping figure on the witness stand,
Mrs. Nott. the veil of hypocrisy. The
State has saved me the task. When
court opens to-morrow I shall endeavor
to show you that from the beginning to
the end young Wade took no step except
dnvler the direction of this woman, this
evil genius."
Attorney Comley said that he did not
intend to try to prove Mrs. N'ott guilty
of the murder, that being the task of
| the State.
I "The ony proposition I have been
] trying to get before you," he said, "In
I all these weary days of the trial. Is that
: this young man is a mental defective.
His mentality is such that he was a
j mere tool in this woman's hands. He
did her bidding as any dumb animal
would obey its mistress. To punish this
young man for murder In the first degree
would be to tear down the whole
fabric of our jurisprudence. It is to
say that you will punish a human being
as you would an animal."

Waukkoan, 111., Jan. 11. ? Waukcgan's
populace let regular occupation
go unheeded to-day and stood pop-eyed
to watch twenty prohibition agents, who
arrived with the dawn, dump 130,000
quarts of strong drink down the gutters
and into the storm sewers.
The arrival of the agents took the
town by surprise. Then followed one i
shock after another. Whence came the j
ocean of liquor? From still and wash
boiler, from barrel and bottle, from eel- j
lar and cave, bedroom and barn, from
moonshiners in Waukegtsn, North Chicago.

from highways and byways, it was gath- '

odoriferous aroma.

tjiecial Despatch to The New Vobk IIebai.d.
?w York Herald Barrau, I
Albany. Jan. 11, f
Senator Charles J. Hewitt, chairman
of the Finance Committee, announced today
that bills are being prepared to In
crease tne vax on passenger nnu uuonn,.^
automobiles. They carry out a recommendation
of Gov. Miller In his first
annual message. The Governor said
that the only new tax burden lie believed
should be imposed was an increase of
automobile fees, so that they would provide
all of the revenue needed for highway
maintenance.
"A slight Increase in horsepower rate
on each passenger automobile." said
Senator Hewitt, "will raise the required
revenue. Motor trucks should also bear
an Increase on tonnage in proportion to
the Increase on other cars. The trucks
have never borne their share of the
motor vehicle tuxes."
At present there Is only a difference
of about $1,000,000 between automobile
taxes and highway maintenance expenses.
Should the Legislature, however.
appropriate the $15,000,000 for
maintenance asked by the Highway Commission
the automobile taxes would be
doubled. Senator Hewitt said it was
doubtful if the Legislature would allow
much more money for highway maintenance
than it did last year. The legislative
leaders also are expected to back
a bill to extend tne auiomomie operators
license law to the thitlre State,
it now applies only to New York city.
All of the members of the State Industrial
Commission except Henry D.
Say re had a conference with Gov. Miller
this afternoon. It was secret and it is
thought that the Governor's recommendation
for a reorganization of the commission
was discussed.
Those present were Commissioners
Edward F. Boyle, chairman, of NewYork;
James M. Lynch, Syracuse; Frances
1'erklns. New York, and Cyrus W.
Phillips. Rochester, and Secretary Edward
M. Buckley and Counsel Bernard
L. Shientag, New York. All are Democrats
except Commissioner Phillips, and
will be legislated out of office If the Governor's
recommendations are carried out.

Spfcial Prxpat'h to Tun n'tw Vork jtrctai.n. ,
Danville, III., Jan. 11.?Harry Birch ;
of Chicago, representing the Fox Film
Service, was assaulted and beaten to- ,
day by Ernest S. Harrington, husband
, of Mrs. Sadie Harrington, who has !
fasted for forty-three days In her of- !
forts to save her husband's soul.
The encounter occurred at the Har- '
rlngton home, where Birch had gone in {
an effort to "shoot"' some pictures of 1
Mrs. Harrington Informed of the visit
of tbp photographer. Harrington Jumped j
into/Ills Automobile and hurried home. |
Ho mot Birch in the back yard.
"I?ld you want to sec me?" asked the ,
picture man.
"Yes. I want to see you. and I want |
to show you what a damned good man
I am. I want you newspaper men to j
let me alone and to let Sadio alone." '
Harrington shouted, as lie swung at
Birch.
Birch was knocked unconscious and j
was taken downtown by neighbors who
had heard his cries for help before Harrington
swung.
At the oflice of Dr. Hugh Beaton it
was learned that Birch had suffered a
broken nose, two teeth were loose and
one eye was badly discolored. A pair
of glasses he wore were broken. Birch
went to the police station after Ills Injuries
had been dressed and asked for a
warrant, but when he was told he wou'd
have to stay to prosecuto he decided not
to do HO
"Isn't It enough what the newspapers
have been saying about me, without
these picture guys butting In?" raid
| Harrington. "They want pictures to
j send ail over the world. I suppose, but j
! they arc not going to get them If I.can
I help it."
j Mrs. Harrington rose from her bed
1 to-day for the first time 4n torty-sour ;
days. Her appearance convinced Danville
sceptics that Mrs. Harriitton has;
not been fasting. as she anil other Pontecostlsts
say she has. Those who saw
her walking about the house say she
has not lost any of the 210 pound* she
carried when she began her hunger
strike against cigarettes, moonshine and
cussing in her home.
Harrington to-day consulted legal authorities
as to his liability In the event
of his wife starving to death and was
assured that no action can he taken
against him. Harrington savs he nas
no intention of giving in. although
frightened and nervous at the thoughts
of what may happen to Mrs. Harrliig|
