THE FAIR TRIAL

IS TaplulS Nv 10 Il CLOSE, anu
since the exclusion of the general pub
lie, the excitement has somewhat
abated. though the Courtroom is toler-
ably filled with attorneys, members of
the press, and privileged characters.
The opening argument in the case, by
Alexander Campbell, Esq. was a
splendid effort, and his tribute to
woman was noble and grand. He
also paid his respects to the ''strong
minded in a manner that was any
thing but tlattering to the ''cause.''
Judge Quint followed Mr.. Campbell,
but confined himself chiefly, in the
absence of Nh. Cook, to reading the
evidence and talking against time.
Mr.. Cook has been unwell during the
whole of the trial, and the tillibuster-
ing of Mr.. Quint, during the last two
days, was for the purpose of firing out
all concerned, i'll the hope that Mr..
Byrne would follow him and give Mr..
Cook a chance to close. But Byrne
was not to be caught in such a trap,
so Cook has been speaking all day and
will be followed by Byrne. and prob
ably before this reaches you the tele-
graph will give the result of the YER
diet.
THE ENTIEE PROCEEDINGS
Will be published in pamphlet form
by the Cooperative Printers Union.
BY the by, the wiSest little bit of sar-
casm produced during all this most
exciting trial, is attributed to one of
those women who want their ''rights,"
who gave as 4 reason for the presence
of so many female suflragists, that
they came there hoping that their
presence would prevent Judge Camp
bell from insulting Mrs. Fair!
