WARRINGTON, Jan. 12.-As soon
as the Court was called to order,
Davidge took his position in front
OF the Jury and opened his argu.
ment with disclaimer of any In
tsntion to make q set speech, but
expressed simple desire to render
the jury what aid he could In their
present and solemn duty. The
time had BOW come In this trial
when the jury were to become the
factors. Whatever disorder or
levity might have characterized
the trial, there was but one senti-
msnt In respect to the conduct OF
the jury. All commend their dig.
