This produeod death al-most instantly. Dr. Foster, a jrraduate, in reply to the hypothetical question submitted by the defonse, said that, assuming the statements to he true, he regarded tho girl a suffering from acute melan-cholia, a type of insanity, Melancholia, continued the witness, in reply to Mr. Varian, is somewhat easily feigned, and has been successfully counterfeited upon frequent occasions. Emotional insanity may be caused ly but slight disturbance of the faculties. Some authorities hold that a person so alllicted may be sane immediately be-fore and immediately nfter the act and yet be ttuaiiR at the iustant. the act was committed fllr. Varian then followed with his hypothetical questions, In which the supposition was urged that the act was the result of jealousy, Under tho cir-cumstances as detailed In this question, Dr. Foster answered that he thought the girl was sane at tho time she fired tho shot and that the Impulse might have been controlled. Judge Zaun asked of the witness if he recognized impulsive insanity, to which he replied be did. The hypo-thetical question presented by the de-fense would indicate insanity of this type. JaeobOlson, father of the defendent was recalled and denied having told the reporter that Amanda bail gworu ven-geance on Hall. Reporter Kins of the Herald was re-called, and testified to Olson's having stated that he wanted his daughter to marry among hor own people. The evidence closed at this point, and court adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock. UPON TIJELAST ACT. The Curtain Else oa the Concluding Chapter in the Celebrated Olsen Murder Trial MIL CBITOHLOW'S POWEBFUL PLEA Judge Powers Follows for the Defense, and the Juror Beaches for His Handkerchief. At 10:80 o'clock this morning there was not an unoccupied seat in tho spa-cious auditorium of the district court, and fearing a gorge, a deputy marshal was assigned as inner guard with an-other at the approaches to tho malu entrance The heterogeneous mass was composed of persons of both sexer, tho descendents of almost every nation and the luminaries of almost every pro-fession. Legal talent was present in largo volume, especially that younger ingredient of the bar who expected to enrich his knowledge of criminal ora-tory. Tho skilled surgeon and physi-cian was irresistibly drawn there to drink from the fountain of medical - jurisprudence, tho conscientious minis-ter of the gospel sauntered in and dropped timidly, unobtrusively into a seat at the rear. Others were attracted because they had an abiding interest either through consanguinity or sympathetic impulses in the result that fate under the guiding star of jus-tice was slowly but surely weaving about a human life. Mothers and fath-ers over whose face time had passed with its relentless chisel were there to seek a lesson. Young girls were driven more by curiosity than by any personal interest in the solemn lessons that was to issue frem the portals of the cham-ber. Presently Judge Zano appeared in the doorway, and the mass that stifled the aisle gave way to him. Tho court was called to order, and tho jury in whoso conscience rested the destiny of Amanda Olsen was polled. They looked tired. They have been in service since Thursday last and ought to be .tired. The court was grave and solemn. The crowd was impatient but. reverential. Next came tho prisoner, in the same attire in which she appeared when the ordeal that has taxed every nerve in her frail body begau. She was followed by her aged parents and the lady whoso keen dark eye has drank in every word, every sylablo that has issued from the lips of tho witness, whether it was for tho defense or the prosecution. No one ha destroyed her mysterious identity, ami ihn rpiinrters havo been too chiv- - to be the facts in the case as brought forth by the evidence. llather would they drop dead and expire in their tracks than do one single injustico to the defendant. There is a chivalry among those who have lived upon the frontiers towards the form of a woman, said he, that tends to warp our judgment and makes us forget for the moment the formula of the law. Powerful sentiment has been aroused in this case, a heavy atmosphere of sympathy has euciycled the defense, while the prose-ru- t ion has been single-hande- alone. Knowing this, the prosecution asked that tho jury divest itself of every ex-traneous influence and find according to the law and the evidence. Calling at-tention to the iudictment, he stated that every instrument of that nature implied and contemplated cold blooded murder. Murder, said ho, is always eold blooded; the hand that strikes down it brother and takos away that which it cannot restore must be chilled and merciless. In this case however it was shown that hot blood and consum-ing passions had surrounded it. Mr. Critchlow thou procooded with a masterly review of the evidence so far as it pertained to the main details of the tragedy waiving tho discussion of the plea of insanity until such time as Mr. Varion should take it up. Mr. Critchlow had concluded one of the most vigorous and effective argu-ments in his professional career, an ef-fort indeed that advances him at once to a place in the foremost ranks of criminal jurisprudence, Those who know him best pronounced it the ablest effort of his lifo. It was adroit and at the same time honest. Ho realized that the prosecution was fighting the terrible and overwhelming tide of pub-lic sentiment. He pulled fiercely and indefatigably to resist it. and no matter what the verdict of the jury, be has acted his part well. In the meantime the defendant her-self was deeply affected. She had main-tained a position of absolute passiveness up to this hour. Her features were yet hooded in the dark veil that was re-moved only when she went upon the witness sta'nd. The argument eanvula-c- d her. Her form quivered and shook and at times it looked as if it would dissolve in a flood of tears. So one was permitted to witnoss the torrent that flowed from her eyes and not until Mr. Crilehlow concluded his argument did the hooded form recover its equipoise. Judge Powers was now on his metal and a murmur went through the au-ditorium as ho rose and began to lay the foundation for his argument. He presented a pathetic, a touching and at times almost heartrending picture of the unwary girl "whose life has been spent in the blushing horizon of this valley." His apostrophe to innocent childhood was sublime, his denuncia-tion of the heart that would rob it of its priceless jewel rose to a climax that was well worthy a place among the Phillipics. His appeal to the father was a lofty and soul-stirrin- eluci-dation of the duty of the parent to the building flower of beauteous womanhood, '"and," cried he, "there is not a case in the jurisprudence of this country where a girl had been con-victed for the killing of her seducer. Fathers have been arraigned for slay-ing the man who betrayed his daughter; husbands have boed tried for killing the destroyerOf Irs happiness; brothers have been tried for killing the man who wrecked the life of a beloved sister, but humanity the human soul had stepped between the law and its cruel penalties and with uplifted linger arrested the blow. The noon hour having arrived Judge Powers tuspeiidpd his argument and resumed at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when he invited the jury, two of whom had already appealed to their handke"-chiefs- , to go with him through the life of he young girl whose destiny was in their hands. f loil n g the Teatlmony. When court at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon United States Dis-trict attorney also presented a hypo-thetical question that embraced all the main points of the prosecution. If up to the inoiueut the fatal shot was' fired, continued Mr. Varian, the defendant was in full possession of her reasoning faculties, aud perfectly capable of- - dis-tinguishing between right and wrong, did she not have the power to resist the impulse? Dr. Hamilton who still occupied the witness chair replied that under these conditions it would be possible to re-sist the impulso, whereupon the Judge elicited from the witness that melan-cholia often betrayed itself in homici-dal and suicidal forms, in which event the act was characterized by cunning deliberation. Thore was a cross-fir- e between coun-sel over the shoulders of Dr. Hamilton that lasted for some minutes.and which was not unfreqnently interrupted by the good-natujre- spectators. Dr. Meaeham was then called and testified to having conducted the an topsy on the body of Frank Hall. The bullet entered the loft side of the head above the ear, ranged upward and nlric to array her with a question. Judge Powers came in without an al-most imperceptible limp, He also came in with a fastidiously arrayed bout-tonair- o peeping from tho lappa! of his Prince Albert. On the other side was Charles S. Varion. United Slates district attorney, his dark beard carefully and scrupulously dressed, while at his right E. B. Critchlow. assistant United States attorney, occupied a chair and s presented a clean shave. Over on the end of the foremost bench within the railing of tho bar sat Mrs. Anna Hart, the alleged mistress of the man whose untimely death the law was now seek- - ' ing to avenge, lie face was thin and faded. It was mantled by a yellow tint i that was almost striking in its depth. ) She has never deserted the court charn- - 'I ber, save at recess or adjournment, since the trial began. Anxiety ami the flaming thirst for vengeance was telling upon hor. A weird light shono from her deep brown eyes, and she half crouched in her seat as she listened to the arguments that were now to begin. The Argument.. Hon. E. B. Critchlow was the first to open tho oracular feature of one of the most interesting cases that have been contested beforo Judge Zane. lie was calm, dispassionate. He betrayed a keen sense of tho solemnity that then provaded the court chamber. Ia a clever, resonant delivery he began his exordium. It was not the intention of the prosecution to tax the patienco' of the jury to any severe extent, and yet realizing the gravity of tho issue as it affected tho defendant and the public the duty of the prosecution was not performed un-til it had reviewed the evidence as it . had beon adduced through the witness chair. They had registered no vow in ' high heaven against the life of tho de-fendant; they would appeal to no meri-tritlou- s aids, no tortured facts or mis-leading testimony, but their pur- - pose would be to state to the jury what they conceived s..
