New HAVEN, CT, April 25.--In the Sherman
trial this morning the arguments of Colonel
Wooster for the state and Mr.. Gardner for the
defense were given. Col Wooster spoke nearly
two hours, taking up the evidence of the de-
tedce, leaving that Of the state TO Judge Foster,
the state attorney. Col Wooster mentioned the
paucity OF the testimony offered saying that
nothing had been offered to him to fight against
He then dwet largely upon the nature of the
circumstantial evidence, upon which Mrs. Sher.
man must be convicted, if she is at ALL MIR.
Wooster said that it was impossible, in cases of
poisoning, to get evidence of the sprinkling of
poison. If this was required in a prosecution
of this kind, then there was no further safety
for the community, for law would not protect
against the prisoner.
Mr.. Gardner replied, dwelling largely upon
the absence OF auv motive for the prisoner TO
commit the offence, claiming that this had NOT
been done by the state. He also endeavored 10
show that the purchase of arsenic by Mrs SHEER
man was simply for the purpose of poisoning
rats.
This afternoon the final arguments were de-
ivered to the Jury by Judge Foster for the state
and Geo. H. Various for the defense Judge
Foster reviewed the case at length arguing that
the evidence pointed so strongly towards Mrs
Sherman, that there could be no hesitation on
the part of the jury TO convict her. Mr.. Wat
rous replied az length depending principally on
the lack ofmotiye Of Mrs Sherman, and endeay-
orng to cast doubt into the minds of the Jury
as to the result Of the analysis The charge Of
the Jury will be given Friday,
