confident step, salutsd his friends, and
as soon as he had taken his seat, turned
to Judge Cox and said:
presume your honor will allow me
to address, the jury when Scoville gets
through"
Judge Cox: We will consider that
when Scoyille gets through.
Scoville, in reply to an inquiry, stated
that he had hardly expected to conclude
his speech to-day.
Scoville resumed his address, taking
up and discussing the statistics of in
sane criminals introduced in evidence
by the prosecution. He had noticed
that the tables produced here by DR..
Gray omitted some essential features
in his report.
Corkhill: pr. Gray did not prepare
any tables Especially for this trial.
ScovilIe: DR.. Gray was hired to come
here to help hang this man. He was
one of the conspirators in the conspir-
acy Of which the district attorney was
chief. Unfortunately he has left his
footprints here, and before 1 get
through I a contradict him out of his
own mouth. 1 tell you, gentlemen of
the jury, back of this prosecution is an
influence which 1 have felt, and which
you may feel, gentlemen, before this
trial is concluded. There are poll

prisoner, and make him a scape-goat
for their crime. / did not intend,
gentlemen of the jury, to take up this
feature of the case, but when L find

small p~ittance that 1 have asked, a
fair and impartial trial, and facilities
needed for a proper defense, l do not
propose to keep quiet. 1 say that such
men as Grant and Conkling and Arthur
are morally and intellectually respon-
sible for this crime. Mr.. Conkling
