i WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-In the Soteldo
| case to-day the defense offered to show by

ject of A. NJ. Soteldo's luminosity, but that
| as Soteldo was the first to make public the
star route matter which reflected upon the
person who controlled the Republican,, the
publication rejecting on Soteldo came out
| as matter of restitution. The court de-
clined to admit the evidence and the de-
Tense announced their case closed. The
government called several witnesses in re-
buttal, but nothing important was elected.
John Lyons, partner of Soteldo in the
Lyon house, testified to his business rela-
tions with deceased. The government
| closed its case here, and the prosecution
| offered the usual prayers. Mr.. Taggart
opened for the government, claiming that
| clear case of guilt against A. c. So;eldo
had been proved. Col. Christy, Counsel
,, FOR Soteldo, followed Taggart for the de-
tense.

conclusion of Mitchelrs address there was
a slight demonstration of applause, and

ence, being brought before the bar admit
ted he had participated in the demonstra-
ton. Judge Wylie thereupon severely
reprimanded Burdette, and ordered him
confined until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The
decision of the court being received with
deprecatory manifestations, the Judge re-
marked that if the parties INDUCING there
in could be produced and identified. they
would be visited by severe
penalty than that embraced in the SEN
tence of Burdette. Subsequently, Burdette
on apologizing to the court was discharged.
At 2:30 District Attorney Corkhill began
his closing argument for the prosecution,
and concluded at 4 o'clock, when Judge
Wylie commenced summing up the charge,
which occupied As minutes in delivery.

returned and rendered a verdict of not
guilty. Assistant District Attorney Tag
CART then. asked that bail be fixed in the
matter of the indictment against defend
| ant for assault with intent to kill Clarence
