the trial Of the case Of the State W. D. D. Ran

my speech 70 the jury asperseti her character 70,
chastity. and also said in effect, that German
women we're Of easy virtue. pronounce the
charg" false. It Ia not only absolutely false. bet
It is also fact, that there was nothing said BY
me upon which could be based the widest infer.
ence that thought or intimated 20. On the
contrary, my argument was only an aesistme,t
that the defendant was not the man who had
done the wrong. I spoke of the enormity Of the
outrage in terms stronger than did the District
Attorney, an! as strong as could command.
sad to the jury that they must not expect to
hear ~ord from me injurious to the, character
of tie woman-Mra Lauffer-that no woman
should be occasioned BY me to say that it was
better to eub,nit to outrage than to take . court
Of justice for it's vindcation.

and Of its value as an element of civilization in
the State, and the duty Of Furnishing its viola

man (Lsuffer) with her sssaant, said all glory
to the noble woman who has protected her honor

Of the Germsnic nations, said that the chastity

assailant for half an hour, in terrible conflict,
and succeeded in preserving that jewel, which
was dearer to Ter than her lite. These and other
sentiments of . similar tone, were abundant
throughout my speech, and there was not one
remark which vas inconsistent with such a tone
Nv argument etrove for no other conclusion than
the one that our client was not proved to be the
perpetrator of the diabolic.l crime, which, with.
out doubt had been committed. Laud ,tions of
the woman (L.uffer) whose department as wit.
ness won my esteem, were f,equent in my re-.
marks. did not even imp gn her veracity, but
only insisted that she was not, and under the
circumstances Of her great wrong, ought not to
be able p identify the criminal, and that she
was mistaken, but not williully So, in declaring
