In a Saturday afternoons edition an
sbstruot Of the hrss portion Of Mr.. Adams
speech for the defence wa given; the fol-
lowing Is tho remainder Of the arguments
Il there anything remarkable Is tbs fact that
Mr.. Gallagher should have given orders 20 the
turnkey 70 allow Mr. Rider 70 take Lynch, his
client mp into the Court room, upon his word 10
return him II wanted, there being no charge
against him.
They tell you that they do not wish you to be
lieYe Lynch only Whers he is corrobOrated; now
Eh9 eorroboTRtes the story that Mlnckley CANT

Not only does this want oorrob0ration, but ri,
der comes In and sWenrs that Il Is untrue 80 far

and that he never saw Lynch and johnson in
there with Min kley In his life.
Lynch gets no confederation ofhis story unless

be indisputable testimony for the prosecution; but
when he says he, while standing by ths Bank Of

Green testides that he was not out Of his shop
that day; Ainckley does not say he was. Where
In does the testimony Of Green disagree with
Minekley. Minckley says he took the watch
from Green's pocket, aud 80 does Mix. There

Inc police force are the guardians of the city,
and they have their regular beats, and they arc
paid TO DO duty 20 protect the city. The fence
where the watch was buried is more than half a
mile beyond the city limits, and Il Is no place for
the police force. Neither was It good policy to
make the arrest on the spot, for there were many
chances that the suspected person would get
away; moreover, the astute detective spends
more time in tracing rOgues TO their dens, and
discovering the fountain head of thieves, than in
catching the individual thief. Had Mr.. Minckley
gone with q gang Of men, would he have been
so likely 70 have been able TO effect q capture? /
Would not the men have been suspicious at

by Green publicly, like this for instance (Mr

reached the ears of Lynch, and he did learn from
it what Green's testimony would be.
Mr.. Muncie testihss that q cOlored man came
up to him, near the Weddeil House, some time
after the arrest, and Inquired of him when he
was 3 policeman, and on which side Of the river,
and IL he had seen him over there in two weeks Z
q case to eXculpate himself, he wanted to see IL

Mr. Hale corro6erates tie testimony of Mlnck,
so far as that Two men were seen sitting ona
log. he saw them 60 away, and saw Minckley
90 across 10 the log.
Green sWears he hasn't been over the river In
q year before his arrest Matthews going over to
the hay market on Monday or Wednesday, mar
days, the day before the arrest, met Green
over the river. Matthews can't say whether
there was another man with him or not.

sim with another man way over by Crable's
ice house. BE noticed him because he was in
close conversation with q white man. Matthews
met him on the bridge and don't know whether
there was & white man there or not.
Minckley and Hale concur so far as they 60,
and on the same day Matthews and Lady swear
they saw ths men on the same street coming up
the city. Green is thus eontradicted BY four
