after the 18th OF May. Hence he could easily be
there on the 10th. When Doyle, therefore, declares
that he could not have been there because OF sick
ness he acts very unlike an innocent man. The
defence Is mere delusi0n when 1t attempts to
prove from that sickness that Doyle could not
have been at the bank after the 26th OF May. The
defence Is merely conspiracy against Justice.
Counsel for defence endeavored to show that the
night OF McWilliams was no evidence Of guilt,
and that his speedy return proved this. Nc
Williams sole object, 1t is said, was to avoid
being sent TO Jail. But when Mcwniams
going to jail, because he said he'd go to jail rather
nave an examination before Judge Adridge. But,
apart from this, he knew well that there was no
necessity for his going to jail that night. HIS
friends and bondsmen were at hand; nevertheless
ne jumped through window and ned at the risk OF

running away. He was man Of strong nerve,
and, N Innocent, had the whole city at his back
yet he began to drink heavily to drown the troubles
which thieves evidence had brought upon him.
The Attorney General reviewed the conduct of
McWilliams during his absence from Jersey
City, dwelling with much emphasis and
power on the probability Of guilt shown
by all his actions within that time. As to D0yle's
guilt, he observed. it is proven beyond doubt I'M
less you make McDonOugh . perjurer. 1t was no
mean thing, but O very hazardous thing for kcDon-
Ough to undertake. Gentlemen who held the high
est ofiices In this county were perfectly willing to
CO.. but we thought they could not succeed.
McDonough has no interest whatever in testifying
against the defendants. He did not know what
persons he was going to listen to. The speaker
then proved to the jury that the letter sent to
Denning In the jail was written by DOYLE and
could not have been forged. In concluding coun-
sci expressed the hope that the jurors would act
NOT AS THEY MIGHT WISH
to act, but as the law and evidence and their own
consciences compelled them to act. Thus they
would be doing that duty which they had sworn on
Gods word to perform. "FOr my part" said he,
II am satisfied that have done NINE" During
the delivery Of this discourse McWiliams rose and
lett the ROOM His relatives and the relatives and
friends OF Doyle, especially his aged father, sat
near by, exciting the cOmmlseration OF every one
In Court. 1t was now past four O'Clock, and the
Court adjourned until this forenoon when the case
will be given to the jury.
