of Tweed's case to-day the counsel
for the defense said they were ready to
close their case now. The counsel,
however, desired to make q motion that
all evidence Of secondary nature be
expunged. The court overruled the
motion and requested the counsel to
agree as to the summing up. After q
brief consultation, the opposing counsel
agreed that the time should be equally
divided, half o day to each, Fullerton
to open for the defendant and Peck
ham to follow for the people, each
counsel to have two hours and half.
Tomorrow Graham will close for
Tweed and Tremsine for the prosecution,
after which Judge Davis will charge
the jury.
Alter this programme had been ar
ranged, Fullerton began his address to
the jury. Fullerton, in his address, re-
hearsed the evidence of the witnesses
who had been examined, and contended
that il any crime had been committed
it was done by County Auditor Watson.
He contended that it was not the duty
of the Board OF Audit to examine all
accounts, that being left to the County
Auditor, and defendant could not be
made liable for the acts OF Others.
Counsel then proceeded 10 impeacA the
testimony Of Andrew J. Garvey, re-
viewing his conduct in fleeing from the
country. According to Gsrvey's own
testimony he was an accomplice, but
in fear and trembling he turns informer,
and throwing himself into the embrace
Of the prosecution, offered to tell all he
knew to save himself. Fullerton main
tained that Garvey's testimony had
not been corroborated in any particu-
lar. He concluded his address at half
past two o'clock, when Peckham began
bis summing up for the people. He
recapitulated the main points in Gar
vey's evidence, and warned the jury not
to be led away by eloquence, but study
the facts. Peckhap's address continued
up to adjournment.
