MYSTERIOUS CASE When Dcfciubtnt Entered Court This Morning She In (liven Ova tion by the Itlg Cnmd. United Press treated Wire. Lyons, N. Y., April 5. Charged with tho murdor of her huBband, Harry Sampson, nephew of tho lato Rear-Admiral Sampson, Mr. Georgia Sampson was today placed on trial boforo Justlco Rich of Auburn. Tho case, which has attracted tho atten tion of tho whole country, tins brought a great crowd of pcoplo bore, ami when tho trial utartod today tho court room was packod . Harry Sampson died Novombor t of Inst year, having been plorcod In tho heart In tho farm house of hie wlfo's fathor and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frnnk Allyn, nt Palmyra. Hub band and wlfo hnd quarreled all night ovor a noto rccolvod by Mrs. Sampson, inviting her nud a girl friend to spond tho day with an old friend nt Niagara Falls. His mother-In-sympathizing with him, said that It was a noto that no married wom an Bhould recolvo. Tho fnthor-ln-law was noncommittal, but sought to br'ng about peace. "I wont llvo with this girl any longer. I'll dlo first," shouted .ho onragod husband to his father-in-law ns ho stood by tho sink In tho kitchen downstairs. Allyn thoroupon order ed his daughter upstairs and asked Harry to do nothing until he had rotumed from tho creamery, "We'll talk It ovor then," ho added, Georgia started upstnlru obedient ly, and It was a fow moments after wards when Mtb. Allyn, who was on the other side of tho houso heard an anpnlzod cry and, on running to tho front room, mot hor son-in-law staggering toward hor with hla hands folded across his broast. With out saying a word, ho foil dead at her foot. A momont later, Georgia burst into tho noom, seized hor dead husband, held his head In hor lap and cried ns If hor hoart would break. Hor broth or, Frank, doclnres ho heard hor run ning down stairs a momont after tho t-hootlug. His testimony may snvo hor. Tho shooting took plnco In tho kltchon, and It was found full of smoke. Th 22-callber rifle was found loaning In n cornoj- near tho, steps up which Georgia had gono and which Harry had pnasoc on the way to tho spot whore ho was killed. Tho hammer was cocked, and tho ejector had half removed tho ompty car tridge. Tho absonco iof powder niarlcfl on tho dond man's shirt has strength ened tho belief of tho prosecution hat tho girl fired the fatal shot. One remarkable foaturo of tho caso Is the statement, mado by Mrs. Allyn to member of (ho Snmppion family a row hours after the shoot ing. Unstrung by tho horrible trag edy, sho is said to have romarkor that Harry came Into her prosenco, carrying a package of cheese In his arm If this was so. It Is hard to explain how he could havo shot him self Iiut Mrs Allyn 1 not ty suro now that sho saw correctly, and her testimony on this point Is ambiguous District Attorney Joseph Gilbert, who Is responsible for tho Indictment of Georgia Sampson, Is related to Iho Allyns through his wife. He has proased the prosecution of the girl wlfo because be did not want to be accused of protecting any member of his family. While tho prosecution, In Its open ing statement, will charge tho wom an with murder, the defense, repre sented by George S. Tlnkelpaugh of Palmyra and Assemblyman Edson W. Himra of Lyous, will try to prove sui cide. It Is expected that the mem bers of the family will testify how- Georgia Sampson was upstairs at the time or tho stunting and that It was therefore Jrnposs'ble for her to have fired the fatal bullet.
