ARGUMENT OF THE DEFENSE - THE TESTIMONY OF

On the opening of the Hudson County
Courts yesterday morning, the room was densely
crowded deep interest being felt in the conclusion Of
the trial OF exChief Of Police McWIliams and Detective

This was the first case he said in Hudson County. and
he thought in the state, where convicts had been

except while one them In the army. With all the
appliances at the command OF the state IL came
here with no new evidence but with tne same

case and apparently did not believe In the quit or the

burglars what occurred before that date Was 1t
likely tnen, that a man Of McWliamo's acknowledged
ability would 90 TO NewYo aud hawk ths job as they
say he did Was II likely that he would, If once In It, go
