ton which moved the greater part Of tho
Jury 70 tears. and caused . great many
handkerchiefs 10 DO produced In the audi

Mr.. Dickson. for the defense, made an
eloquent appeal before the jury. and after
settling down 10 the facts and law said that
the Jury must render one Of two verdicts ;
either q verdict Of not guilty or OF murder
in the first degree. The question resolves
itself into . nutshell. Ash either came 70
the door with . pistol Ina his hand or he
came unarmed. IL Ash made the frst A.
tack, Davis acted in self-dofensc ! II he
ala not. IL was q c~old.blooded murder.
The testimony Of Mrs. Harvey was taken
up and reviewed at length. together with
Mr.. McNally's statement. and he made an
ATTEMPT 10 reconcile the two stories. Tit
voman's exclamation. ''oh ! isn't that hor-
rible:'' he claimed might have been made
under the stress Of the excitement. and
ali not signify that II WA the first
.be hal known OF the facts in the
case. lie claimed that Mrs. Harvey
and Mr.. McNally made . stand-off. With
regard TO the testimony Of Belle West. lie
Asked what would be the motive for her 70
p-rjure herself when she said that one
shot was fred from the inside Of the hons
at Ash after he had fallen on tho sidewalk;
she know that 10 would not benefit the do
PENDANT; she simply testified 10 the cir
cum.,Anecs. Just a. she believed them 70
be; she might have been. and probably
Was, mistaken. Sith'regard To the dash OF
the pistol shot from the door. Speaking Of
the assertion made by the District Az
torney. that the witnesses for tho prosscu-
ton had not been broken down. he re-
piled that the greater part Of their testi-
mony Was true. They only lied with TO
gard TO the number Of sbos fred /; . lie
which Ia part truth Is the hardest 10 fight.
He quoted Tcnnyson's words; "a lie
that Is part Of the truth. etc." That Is
why the witnesses were not broken down
in their story /; they had but a Ito 70
sustain, and to that point they directed
their efforts. The question OF the number
Of the shots fred At the time Of the trouble
vas taken up and Thoroughly discussed.
Mr.. Dickson claimed that fhs Affirmative
testimony. stating that hve shot. we're
fired, should be preferred 70 the testimony
" the effect thai only four shots were nred.

struck at Lammon. the latter drew his
pistol, but tho outsiders separated them
and puboly WAS hurt,
