Dan Mum has been, during the ten
days past, The lion Of the Chicago bar. lie
is one of the attorneys for the defence in the
notorious st. Pc,rc.C Clark murder case; and
put into his defence all the pathos, tact and
tongucinc3s he could master. His CLOSING
speech, seven hours effort, was the "ten
stike' Of Dams legal life While he /,
manilcstly not Il fayoritc with Chicago
newspaper men, they felt constrained to
confess that his speech was remarkable for
its pathos. Throwing all the soul he pos
sessed into his deep. sonorous. nasal. toned
voice, he brought tears to the eyes, even OF
the jurors, who were selected in q measure,
because Of their supposed ability to resist
the effects of that kind Of oratory. During
the progress Of the trial, the prosecution
sent all the way to Dupagc county for the
murdered mans heart, ribs and sternum,
The sternum had not been taken cut

the prosecution to insist that they had

their denial before the jury. But above all
these protcstations arose NUNS demand TO
know why the whole and not u part, only,
of the dead mans stcrnum was not in court,
The prosecution was completely "tloorcd,"
Mum stock rose accordingly, and he cleared
his clients.
