long list he closed by stating that the Cyl,

participating In the affair. and under the
statutes were held responsible. lie excuse
his inability to present the case more luiiy
than he had done.
JUDGE EGAN
opened the case for the defense In temperate
manner. He first called the attention OF ths
jury to the fact that the case 20 pc supinlCted
70 them was one Of the greatest ihlpllclty;
The Indictment charged that the accused had
been guilty or conspiracy, was an agree
ment between two or more persons TO commit
some crime in concert, an agreement fof
wrongfully injuring or preiudicng another
or. In other words, plot.

been shown, under the law 1t was necessary

these reports were made public the conven-

and there was excitement and confusion fox

Judge EgHn then showed that there was not

gathering and subsequent acts were Intended
to affect the election Of q Congressman IN the
least. The whole case hinged upon that, and
1t was the very essence Of the charge.

which an honest Jury cOuld render, ana thaI
was one OF acQuittal.
