A Card.

The undersigned, judge Of the GRIM
inal court and sheriff of Dallas county,
desire thus publicly to return their
thanks to the very large audience In at
tendance on the trial of the State va. j.
p. Horbach, during the past three days,
for their unusually quiet and orderly
demeanor in the court room.
s. HARE, Judge,
JAS. T.. BARKLEY, Sheriff..
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-01-23

J. j. Brooks opened yesterday morn
Ing for the defense, asking the jury to
give the case patient and impartial
investigation--it was one thing to
charge, but another to prove. The
prisoner, in his opinion, had COM
mitted no crime known to law, but
had acted in self defense, obeying the
great law of self preservation. He did
not propose to impeach any of the
witnesses testimony. 1t was conflict
ing, but it was for the jury to reconcile
those contradictions, not the counsel.
The prisoner was presumed to be in
nocent, and the 0nus probdndi was on
the prosecution. The death of the
deceased was not proof of guilt OF the
prisoner. He would endeavor to elu-
cidate the testimony, in which there
may have been errors and mistakes,
but no false swearing. He had a high
regard for Mr.. Bogel, and pleasant re-
lations with Frank, the barkeeper
who was an open-faced, honest boy.
He reviewed, however, Bogel's tes.
timony severely. He took up Duck
worth's testimony, compared it with
Bogels and said one of the two were
mistaken. Bogel testified that the de-
PENDANT went out of the rear door
Frank testified that he went out of the
back door. He admitted that Hor-
bach did the shooting, and was justi-
fable. He read several decisions bear
ing on the case in point from the SUI
preme court of the state of Illinois and
asked the jury to apply the same to
the present case. He said the motion
of Thomas with his hand was most
significant one. When Thomas look
ed at the clock and made the remark,
he intended to "usher IN the new year
and baptize it with the blood OF Hor-
BACH" he did right to kill Thomas.
He said 1t was no murder and was JUS
tilted by the laws of man and the
highest law neutrality-suspicious..
A railway ring had employed coun-
sci to assist the district attorney. Rail-
road men were robbers by occupation.
The Texas and Pacific was corpora
ton without soul, and the Houston
and Texas Central railroad never paid
a dollar they could avoid. Was not
that pretty layout, ETC., and made
some gratuitous remarks about railroad
men, their fine clothes, diamonds, hon
estu, etc. Public opinion was a cruel
Jury to try man by. He alluded in a
complimentary manner to the kind
sympathy and offices of Sheriff Barkley
and family to the prisoner; also to the
services of defendant in the confeder-
ate army.
A slight demonstration of applause
followed the close of the speech, when
was promptly checked by Judge Hare,
who remarked he would clear the court
room instantly If it was repeated.
J. ]. Good followed Mr. Brooks ana
spoke for the defense for two hours.
1t is proper that the people should
know whether prisoner got his dues
when life and death are at stake. The
position of counsel for the prisoner,
was based on the right Of self-defense.
The worm when crushed would turn
again. Read the law defining the
circumstances under which homi-
G ide lie justifiable. In defense Of person

The Judge then proceeded to address
the jury. His charge was clear and
logical, divided into different heads,
concise and pointed. He cleverly de-
fined the different grades OF crime
known IN law MS murder In the first
andsecond degrees, manslaughter, etc.,
and the punishment affixed thereto.
His charge was delivered In a distinct
and audible tone, free from any more
legal verblage than was absolutely nee
essary and was listened to with mark
ell attention alike by jury, counsel,
prisoner and spectators. after the de-
