Attorneys for the defense consumed nearly all of the day sessions with a review of the case. In his closing argu ments. Special Prosecutor Frank H. Kelly, of Tacoma, said: Final Plea for Guilty Made. I want you to believe, as I do, that no thought by this woman of bringing about the death of Claire Williamson was conceived before the dead woman and her sister bad been, for at least two weeks, under ths personal control of this defendant. "However, the element of lust for the wealth of her patients' Jewelry, ready money, funds In the bank and an es tate of large proportions was greater than she could withstand. And, com mencing with the date of February 15, she left no effort undone that would bring about the death of both patients, that she could acquire their fortunes. "In the hands of this designing per son they were treated like a bundle of soiled linen, run through a wringer and made to produce every atom of finan cial nutriment t(jelr circumstances could supply." Motive of Death Seen. Going into the motive for Claire Williamson's death, Mr. Kelly support ed the prosecution's claim that It bad traced the defendant's culpability from the time of a first letter to the patient, who waa then in Victoria, B. C. in which it was represented that the treatment required could be obtained from purchasing and reading the de fendant's starvation health treatise, through devious financial transactions that Included an endowment by will, a gift of 11000, powers of attorney through which nearly $2000 was col lected, and finally, a plot whereby a pension and estate In Australia said to be worth $500,000 would be secured. Fakers WateaJaa; Case. Counsel declared the trial was watched eagerly and with hope by every unworthy healing practitioner and faker in the country. Throughout the denunciation the de fendant sat with eyes closed, but with Jaws set firmly, as though in defiance of all that could be said against her. The last day of the trial brought out large numbers of people, who flocked to the little courthouse here to hear the arguments of the attorneys. The day was begun with the closing argument for the defense, which was made by George W. Gregory, of Se attle. Mr. Gregory was followed by Special Prosecutor Kelly, who was employed by the British government to assist the Kitsap County authori ties In the case. Miss Dorothea Williamson, sister of the dead English heiress, occupied a seat Inside the bar.
