the evidence did not warrant finding
of guilty. Self defense, he said, was
the Oldest law Of mans being, and q
law that had been recognized for all
time as q right one. He also argued
with fervid eloquence to the jury the
Importance of giving the prisoner the
benefit of every reasonable doubt.
After Mr.. Cotter's speech court ad-
journed until O'clock.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Court opened at o'clock, when Mr..
Richmond submitted additional
points to the court, which were argued
upon by Messrs. Richmond and jerks
for their respective sides.
Mr.. Richmond then went to the
jury and talked for an hour and forty
five minutes. 1t is idle for us to at
tempt even syno psis of this great
effort, made by this gentleman in be.
half of the prisoner at the bar. He
denied the charge made by Mr.. Hall
as to the cheap auXiliarles thrown
around the prisoner to create SYM
pathy. And stated that if either 81 de
was guilty of doing that kind of busi.
hess the prosecution were, else why
these Widows weeds and garbs of woe.
referring to the widows, of Warmth
and Vollmer who were in the court
room. Reviewing the testimony he
treated Burke and Wurzell with un-
tinted irony, and caustic torrent Of
words, accusing them of perjury, Sand
intimating that their testimony was of
little value in determining the case.
He pictured Dist. Atty Wuzell as
covering in fright behind the friendly
cover of convenient hen coop, the
very personification of fear and cow
ardice. He congratulated Elk county
on the possession of two such worthy
officials. In closing he appealed to the
Jury for mcr " and for justice. The
speech was patiently listened to by Il
crowded court room, and was aclnowl-
edged on all hands to be mastery
argument and an eloquent plea, fully
worthy of the man andthe occasion.
Mr.. jerks, for the prosecution spoke
from 4:l0 until $50. 1t was easily
seen that this gentleman was on til e
wrong side of the case, for instead of
his usual eloquence, he confined HIM
self to the facts brought out by the
evidence, and to oflsctting, by ingcn-
ious argument, the burning eloque nee
of Mr.. Richmond.
Court then adjourned until 1880
[Thc conclusion was given in our last
issue. We have only one thing to add
that is that all the law points sub
mitted to the court by the counsel for
the defense, were affirmed by the
court.-ED
