Grand-daddy of All Parties
On the night of May 20, the grand-
daddy of all parties took place at
No. 12, with an orchestra blaring out
a session of rancorous dance music.
The police were called and things
quietened down as the guests went
home.

Soon afterwards the sound of
shooting was heard, and the
voice of a woman screaming
“Help! He’s dead!” or words to
that effect.

Around midnight a_ well-known
London doctor was awakened by the
ring of his telephone bell and a
woman's hysterical voice crying,
“Come at once. He’s shot! There’s
been an accident.”

Stephens Found Dead

On his arrival at the Mews, he
found the dead body of Stephens
on the floor, with Mrs. Barney
in a fit of violent hysterics.

In spite of her frenzied protests, he
called the police, but Elvira was, by
this time, unable to give a coherent
account of what had happened. How-
ever she managed to tell her tale later.

She said that she and the man had
quarreled and he had threatened to
leave her.

She then told him she was going
to shoot herself and he tried to take
the gun away.

During the close struggle it went
off and the bullet killed him.

To this story she stuck, even on the
Witness stand.

New Facts

At the police station later on new
facts were brought to light. A nearby
tenant said that only one shot was
fired, another said she had heard two.

One woman swore that she heard
Mrs. Barney say, “I'll shoot you.”

Other tenants, living a little way
off, testified in court that on a pre-
vious occasion they had heard her
shouting from an upstairs window:
“Laugh, baby, laugh for the last time,”
as she shot at Stephens (who- was

leaving the apartment) and missed
him.

So Elvira Dolores Barney was
formally charged with murder. Her
defender was Sir Patrick Hastings, an
eminent barrister, assisted by Walter
Framton, his junior, who was briefed
by her solicitor.

Cordon of Police to Hold Crowd

To say that the Central Criminal
Court was crowded, is an under-
statement. People stood outside all
night, hoping to get a good seat.

Even the lawyers themselves found
it difficult to make their way in, and
a cordon of police was needed to
keep unauthorized thrill-seekers out.
