' , LEBLAIIC MURDER TRIAL Government's Case Outlined By District Attorney Youngest Girl Ever Put on Trial for ' Her Life in New England Con , tent ions of Defense in Noted Mur. der Case. ,. '' , r (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Boston,. Mass., Nov. 29 Wltii her eyes often. turned in appeal to her lawyer, Hattie Leblanc presented a most pathetle figure in the Middlesex superior court, at East Cambridge to day when Assistant District Attorney Charles'1 J, Wier outlined the govern ment! case against the youngest girl ever put on trial for her life in New England. The prisoner understood but little EngliBh, but the tones of denunciation' and the occasional pointing V her by the government's prosecutor brought nervous flushes to her pale cheeks and often her eyes dimmed as if she was about to burst into tears. It was the opening of.. the govern ment's case against the prisoner and the beginning, of the trying ordeal which the seventeen-year-old defend ant must suffer before she is pro nounced guilty or not guilty of the murder of Clarence F. Glover, the Walthan laundryman in whose home the girl was employed as a domestic When court opened at 9 o'clock every seat in the room was taken, i great crowd of people filled the corri dors and the yard outside the court house. Hours before the time of the trial men and women had taken a stand near the entrance to the court house, Hattie Leblanc walked to the court from her cell in East Cambridge jail across the street , from the court house, accompanied by Sheriff Fair- bairn.- She wore a small black coat and bat and appeared started by the cfowd thai sought" to catclf-ft glimpse of her. . Attorney Melvin Johnson made a motion to quash the indictment against his client, claiming that the indictment was vague, faulty and un constitutional. It did not, he argued properly specify the crime of which his client was accused. Judge Bond overruled the motion without argu ment from counsel for the prosecu tion and the defendant took excep tions. ; Attorney Johnson also requested the court to rule that the govern ment make no mention in its open ing or in its argument of statements said to have been made by the mur dered man. He also objected to the introduction of such statements in evidence. He declared that whatever Glover had said could not in his opin ion be legally termed a "dying state ment" as in order for a statement to be competent, a than should real ize that he was dying. Counsel con tended that Glover did not think he was going to die. Attorney Johnson gave a brief in support of his argu ment which Judge Bond took under advisement. The statement had been made that Glover,-Just before his death, declar ed -Hattie Leblanc shot me." The admission of this was the point over which Attorney ' Johnson made his preliminary fight' today. He claimed that Glover did not believe that he was dying when he made the asser tion. During the argument-the jury was excluded from the court room. Hattie Leblanc sat in the court room and listened undisturbed while witnesses told about the dying mo ments -of Glover. She heard wit nesses testify: ' V v Glover said first: : 'That woman shot me, then he said 'Hattie Leblauc shot me. She lives here in Waltham on Main street.' " Thomas H. Conners, one Of the witnesses, testified that while Glover lay on the steps of the office of Dr. Cousens, a young girl came up and asked what had happened. He told her the man had been shot. Then the girl disappeared.' This is the first time this mysterious girl had been mentioned in the case. Examiner George L. West, who made the autopsy on Glover's body. took the stand and described the two bullet wounds found in Glover's body. , Hattie sat up straight in her chair. She looked at the witness but Bbe showed no emotion. Occasionally she bit her under lip. Her hands lay clasped in her lap.' Mary A. Dutch, who saw Glover dying on the steps, testified that he said, 'I am dying.' The more money a man can drink and smoke away on himself the more would seem it he were upending It for clothes on his family. yW, 1 1 'A j 'it?J$' ill Mr..
