Painted a* Murderesa.
In his opening statement Prosecutor O'Brien painted the Plotka girl as a cold, heartless murderess. He said: "She threatened his life over the telephone. She waited for more than an hour at the hospital for her victim. He appeared, and a little later was shot three times by this woman. Calmly and coolly she admitted shooting Dr. Jindra. It was only when she knew he would die that she lost her cold poise, yielded to feminine weakness, wept and tried to caress and kiss her dying lover."
Mr. O'Donnell painted a different picture to the Jury. He said that Dr. Jindra was 6 feet tall and then he pointed to the girl, apparently weighing no more than 100 pounds. He said: "She had known him from childhood and when she was ill she went to him for medicine and help. He gave her drugs and so made her his mistress. Her love for htm was a wild and unnatural thing. He inflamed It with physical tortures as well as drugs. "She gave him $450 that she had

WAR AND GRIEF HIT ZOO
AMSTERDAM, June 18.—The quarterly report of the Berlin Zoological society shows that the wild animals there have not been able to digest the food substitutes provided by German science. The mortality has been heavy—the giraffes, the mandril, the chimpanzees are among the more valuable animals which ha.ve died this winter—while the general health of the surviving animals is not' good. The society expresses some doubt as to the exact cause of death of the chimpanzees. It is admitted that the dates and. bananas and other tropical fruits being unprocurable, the apes were fed on a kind of biscuit made of musty flour but it is said they may have pined away with grief at the loss of their keeper, who was called up for the army.
The carnivores managed to get on fairly well on scraps from the slaughter houses, but the animals requiring grain and seeds have not thrived on the wild roots given them as a substitute.
