Paris, Nov. 11 "My past contains interesting chapters," cried Madame Steinheil'in a fit of passion as the prosecution closed the evidence in a trial of the woman acused of the murder of Adolph Steinheil, and her step mother, Madame Japy;' The state rested its case this afternoon and the defense began the exam ination of witnesses. While the prosecution was concluding, Madame Steinheil renewed her threat to broach scandal, involving persons of high standing, but Judge De Valles' invitation for her to proceed with the "Revelations" met with sil ence. Popular opinion is that the state has not convinced the jury of the pris oner's guilt. . . Paris, Nov. 11. The concensus of opinion is that the court failed to develop any material evidence against Madame Steinheil, and that the jury will acquit her on the charge of murdering ner husband and step mother. When the trial was resumed tnfc morning 20 witnesses were to be heard. The accused woman appeared exhausted, on entering the court room. She listened listlessly to the testimony of the uncle and expert accountant on the probable amount of money in the Steinheil h5me on the m's'ht or the murder. Thev testified books showed about $900. The prisoner previously swore the murderers' took $1,500. First Witness for Defense.

M. Scheffer, a French artillery officer, who 20 years ago contemplated marryine Madame Steinheil and other friends of the Steinheil family, testified for the defense, emphasizing the conviction that the prisoner loved her hus- Dand ana stepmotner. Before the judge advocate began his argument for the state, Judge De Valles announced that he would later raise the question of the prisoner's complicity in other crimes, indicating his intention of abandoning the orig inal charge which held the madame as a principal. - - .. Roasts the Madame. , The judge advocate's argument insisted that the madame, during her whole life, had been perverted and sensuous, "A miserable career of du plicity."
