TIE ARGUMENTS.

Yesterday afternoon the closing argu-
ments were made in the trial by Hon. p.
OMara, for the defense, and VIM. Jackson
for the prosecution.
The court room was crowded with peo-
pie, and more interest was manifested in
the trial than was displayed during the en-
tire week.
effort in behalf of the prisoner, and at
tempted to explain away the damaging
testimony that SO closely connected his
client with the commission of the dreadful,
cold blooded murder.
The speaker made scattering denun-
citation of Otto Heilwagon. and proceeded
to argue that there was more of motive for
him to kill his wife than for the defendant
The detectives" story was taken up by
the orator, and that witness was roughly
dealt with. The attack made upon both
him and his testimony was most merciless
and terrific, and made an evident impress
sion throughout the room.
Mr. JACKSON
began with strong and vehement appeal
for the punishment of criminals, and from
the start held tbs audience in the closest
attention. The speaker declared that it
had been the intention of the defense to
make side issues, to draw off the attention
of the jury from the main facts in the case.
He explained in detail the form of drawing
an indictment and then referred to the
claim of the defense that the children of
the defendant had acted in an unnatural
manner toward their father. He declared
in language most emphatic, that it was
more criminal in the father to attempt to
fasten the crime upon his son than ito kill
Dora Heilwagon." The attempt to fasten
the crime upon Otto was a subterfuge, q
desire to get up two issues instead of one.
that the criminal should escape The ter
rible appearance of the body when found,
was strikingly portrayed and the orator
proceeded to review the evidence. The
question OF motive was then argued and
after an attempt to prove that motive was
not necessary ingredient, he proceeded
to claim that the impelling cause was
sudden hatred Of Dora on account
of remark made against his daughter;
and from desire to divorce his son from
his wife. The speaker then detailed the
evidence of the prosecution, and pointed
out the strong points that indicated the
guilt of the prisoner, and admitted no
other conclusion.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Jackson's ar
pument, the Court read his instructions to
the jury, and a recess was taken with the
understanding that if verdict was reached
the Judge should be informed and an even
ing session of court would be held,
