pOslQOu LUIS L. Nok single confession did
she make to anybody but what you find 1t full
Of palllations, excuses, c1clamations, pious
CALCULATIONS, prayers for mercy and hopes Of
forgiveness, they swarm through all her con-
fessions, all her1ctters. And here in this con-
fesslon you find them in the same manner.
Nov II Mr. Burch were preparing this, what
would he do. What would he have my mo-
tive to do: These arc Tie questions that you
are to settle; these are the considerations
that must have weight with you. But this ex-
PLANTATION Is entirely oyerthrown, and our
whole case destroyed, counsel would have
you believe, by single circumstance which
have omitted 10 mention; and which absolute
should not spend moment upon. For it's
Of no earthly importance 1t cannot weigh q
feather weight in the consideration Of this
matter. And what Is that! The coun-
sci say that Mr. Birch himself fix
cd the dates In this. confession; that
now so far as the last date Is concerned it is
very manifest who fixed that. II Fannie Burch
states truly Mr.. Burch herself fixed that date,
for she said that Mrs. Bu1ch told her TINT it
was on the night that Mr. Burch had gone to
Burlington that Stuart came there; and she
also told her that her last connection with
him WAS at the time when Fannie had gone to
the Theatre and Mr.. Farnum came there. But
suppose that Nj. Burch did hx that date, what
has that to do with this confession Suppose
that In rehearslug these facts IN her own way
she had told him that the Last time connection
occurred between her and Stuart was on the
night when Fannie went to the Theatre and
when he got home from New York, but
that she could not remember the date
ask you II you could run back
two years, or one year even, and
undertake to dx any event By the day of the
month. Mrs. Burch kept no Journal, and she
would not know the day OF the mouth She
could tell Mr. Burch, 1.-The lat Instance Of my
guilt Was on tho night when you got home
from New York, aud the night wbcn tho girls
were ut the. theatre" She might remember
that the girls were gone, though she could not
tell where they were gone You all know the
law by which memory is governed. Iou have
one instance Of it here In this case. Margaret
O'Hasa tells yon that she recollects the night
when Mr. Fa1nam called there and was re-
1ectcd. How does she III thai, and On what
night does she III It, 6hs says that It was on
the night that the girls were expected from the
East, and she persists in that MI the way
through She says TINT Mr. Faruam called
there one night when Mary Spalding and Fan
nle Burch were expected from the East. Now
You know that that is not SC. You know that
they had already arrived from the East, and on
that night were at the theatre The truth Is;
that Margaret O'Hara remembers the girls
were gone from the house that night ale also

oud confession, the facts in relation to which
are these: Mr. Burch undoubtedly explained to
his lawyer the situation in which he was
placed It was but nnturnl that the lawyer
should tell him that If he intended to proceed
to get q divorce. and wished to make
use Of the confessions for that purpose,
1t would be best to let her write it ont In her
own hand writing and way. And accordingly
you find NJ. Bnrch. on the morning of Tncs-
day, at the bank telling Mr. Valentine that his
wife IL going to write her confession, and is
then writing it while lc Is down there Miss
Fannie Burch says that she rccollccts that be-
fore her Uncle went away, ho went down stairs
and got pen, Ink and paper, nyld carried them
to his Nife's room, set them down and went
ont. She says that she did not ngniu see him
for ~ hour aud hnlf OF two hours, when he
returned with Mr. Valentine Mr. Valentine
tells yon that when he returned on that occa-
8tnp, this second confession Eas written In
Mrs.. Burrh's hand, and be found her there In
the room with tbs materials fot writing Now
was that confession extortcd! Do the fects
have another question more important than
TINT to put to vou- l wish You 10 read that
confession; It has been said hero that 1t is in
a mans style: Il is easy to say almost any
thing. ! 1shall ask you to read aud consider
that confession, and sec whether 1t Is Mr.,
Burch'e production or Mrs. Burch's produc-
tion. Now ii Mr.. Burch was endcayoring to
Pao<N% <JNt@e9t1A 4VA4 tu3 hACt 10A
would 1t be.' It would be clear affirmation
Of her guilt Anything more. Was It neces-
sa1y for Mr. Burch to put into that confession
anything bnt the fact Of her guilt Wonld he
have put in those circumstances that palliated
1t: Would he, the man they soy he Is, put
into 1t those expressions Of contrition and rc-
pentxnce: Would he especially put into that
confession one clsuse which would defeat the
ye1y purpose that bic had In view! II he
wrote II, he mnkcs her say In that confession
that in every single instance; that Stua1t had
connection with her he obtained that eonnec-
ton BY force qpd against her utmost resist
nnce. Now Task you did Mr.. Burch write
that and compel her to sign It :: Why, II ltc-
rally true it utterly defeats this application for
divorce, 1fthis woman wns compelled to this
prostitution !; II by main strength and actual
force Stunrt compelled her to 1t, then no d.
vorce can 10 obtained on that ground, for then
she would be Eullty Of adultery neither In mo-
|. rality or Law. Would Mr.. Burch make this Eo-
man affirm that? -
But take nnothcr circumstance Miss Fan-
ME Bnrch tells you, that Tuesdny, In the
course OF the forenoon or In the course Of the
day, before this confession was aligned, eren
before 1t was written, Mrs. Burch among other
things told her that story about etuarte COM
Ing there on the night .th1t Mr.. Burch was
