Just before midnight she was acquitted of the murder of Captain James M. Pot- tit, with whom she ltvod at Massa pequa Inn. which he kept. . . The Jury was out about five hours. Mrs. Wells' acquittal followed closely two convictions of women charged with hnvlng slain men with whom they had been Intimate. In each case the trial Jury was chosen because of a professed ability to Judge testimony against women charged with murder with their heads rather than their hearts. Her two predecessors, Mrs. Lillian Raizen nnd Mrs. Pauletto Raludes, unlike Mrs. Wells, admitted having shot their victims to death. but pleaded Justification and mental in stability. At all times Mrs. Wells maintained that she did not shoot Captain 1'ettlt. The basis of her defense was that nho had no reason to punish rtuui. Her lovo for him was too great, she pleaded. Miss Helen MeCormlek, ono of Mrs. Wells' attorneys, told the Jury the state had not established a motive against her client. Tho beatings Cnp tain Pettlt hart given her had been cited, it was shown that ho had taken all her savings, $7,000 and squandered them, and frequently in delirium threatened to kill her.
