explain why Camhre would shoot Frey. Whsn
r another man was the object Of his vengeance.
The defence argued that Cambre was mot the
man who shot Frey The bald spot On Cambress
head, spoken of by one Of the bakers, When Cam
bre had bushy head Of black hair, and could not
, have had bald spot, wounded as he vas; other
discrepancies in the testimony; the early and dark
hour when the whole affair took place aud The
danger Of mistakes in identity. cons tinted The
staple Of the arguments for the defense.

of guilty Of murder; and the priaonsr was 70
