The very first thing when the crime was
known the suspicion is centered upon this
man, because he had been with her Then
they found he had gone. He told them be

thousand things ere to be done, and JUS

In doing their duty they had no personal
feeling against this man, but the duty they
owe to the community. and the laborer is
worthy of his hire.
In order to account for his money, the
prisoner says he borrowed $50 from Mr..
Mason, an applc-tree man. If that had
been so be would have had Mr.. Mason
here. He is not backed up by witnesses in
a single statement he made to his captors.
Was this the property of Mrs. Freeze
which was found IN Boston? They found
this property and brought it home. They
find half shawl at the Adams House and
the other half is at Vergennes. In regard
to the charcter of the woman who testified
here, there has been no evidence presented
here against it. All this property is identi-
ned almost beyond doubt. and some of il
beyond doubt. The same man whomade
a deposit oil the one piece made deposit
of the other. The trouble in coming to a
conclusion that they were property be-
longing to Mrs. Freeze and that it was
found TO have been in the possession of
John p. Phair. We have satisfied you of
this first statement, and we say the re-
spondent pawned that property. They
say he went to Providence and could not
have pawncd the property. He never went
to Providence, he had no intention of CO.
ing there. When he got to Fitchburg de-
pot lie found George Stewart going TO
; Providence depot, so he gets in and rides
to the depot for the purpose of binding
our eyes. If he had gone to Providence
he would have called upon his sister there
he is such pet in the family-if he had
been there he could have proved it,
The government have brought witnesses
here who are lineal descendants of the
Savior, and consequently you should not

scendant of an Israelite, but when one
man says, "Ah. you Gentiles, you have
crucified your Savior and put his wounds
to shame So | would tell these men who
attempt to sneer at these Jews. These
Jews were the only kind of men that our
Savior would come down to earth and talk
with They keep n brokers' shop, it is
said; they do it under law of Massachu-
sets; it is right; it is legal and honorable,
and they have an inspector who examines
these, and there is no evidence that these
men are not what they should be. Take
, Mr.. Pierce for instance Did he come up
here for pay from these men who expect
this reward? No; he testified carefully and
intclligently, and all of them were the
peers of the men in this community. 1t is
outrageous to attempt any such Islander
against these men. The evidence of every
one of these Jews can be dispensed with
and the prisoner be identified as L. f.
Smith Mr.. Abrahams, with whom the
prisoner left the watch, is peculiar with his
class in looking at a stranger. 1t is sensi-
bic, rational reason that they give. Mr..
Abrahams gave hma ticket for this watch;
and he came to town, he was committed TO
Jail and Identifies his man at once He
testified cautiously; he will not take the re-
sponsibility of telling positively, but says
it is his honest conviction that it was the
prisoner. At Mr.. Pierces was left the
shawl and opera glasses. Mr. Pierce tells
you that he has no doubt that he was the
man. He tells you how he looked. This
MIR. Ehrlich says when they first came
there he had forgotten it, but when Mr..
Vogt came his attention was called to it
and he remembered. But whether they
knew who this man was; they had one ring
which Ben X. Chase has got his private
mark on. No matter whether there were
paper collars there or not. This Mr.. Isaac
Smith had his attention called partIcu-
larly to him. He told particularly
| how he was dressed. Then Mr.
Vogt comes in, and although he
did not swear positively he gave you his
honest opinion and all agree with it. Mr..
Donovan goes on to describe to him Stearns
and Thornton infinitely before they show
him the photograph. He describes the dress
completely. Mrs. Stewart remembered him
just by riding across the city with him.
There is something about his countenance
which is peculiar and not in his favor
either. That is the conclusion YOU all
come to as soon as you put your eyes upon
him. If rogue wants to get along and
cover up his tracks one of the first things
he does is to assume false name He un-
dertakes to cover his tracks, his stealing,
his arson and his murder by giving false
name. As cover he tells them he has a
sister who wants the money. A lie from
beginning TO end and concocted to be so.

and he registered at the Adams House
about o'clock. A very short walk be-
tween these places. And now one of the
beauties of the defence comes in here.
There is not power enough TO save him
from the signature upon that register I'M
less the clements step in, and yet the de-
fence puts in an idea that Messrs. Stearns
and Thorton forged that signature upon the
bottom of that page
Here is a pivot in this case. If John p.
