Mr.. W. n. Wallace, Prosecuting Attorney
for Jackson County, commenced his closing
argument on behalf of the State in the case
against Frank james at a few minutes after
nine this morning. His speech was most ex-
hausttve one and was the great feature of tho
trial, good judges declaring they never heard
1t surpassed for vigor, evcnncss, power and
eloQuence. At it's close Judge Goodman
charged the jury who then retired in charge
of the bailifs.
Shortly before four o'clock the bailirs in
charge of the jury were notitiedJ that they
were ready to submit a verdict. and when
court reopencd at four o'clock Judge Good
man was surprised by the information. Ihe
defendant was brought into court with his

made it painful to look upon. The hall was

their seats, all of them keeping their faces tS

called and the verdict was submitted ted, the the
defendant not guilty, as charged in the in
dictment'
Loud applause followed and some of the au-
dience threw up their hats, while great confu-

Judge Hickln looked gloomy and spoke not.
The jury was then discharged and they
quietly left the courtroom. When some
degree of order had been restored
and one man had been brought be-
fore the Court and given n chance to beg off
for throwing up his hat, and when the gay
assemblage of ladies had moderated their
iubilant buzz to n reasonable degree, the Court
suggested that there were two more cases on
the docket. The Wcstfall case and the one

Judge Shanklin occupied the morning on
behalf of the prosecution, demonstrating
from the evidence the probability OF FRANK
james being connected with the winston
robbery He claimed there was proof positive
of the defendants participation in the rob-
berry and murder. AS for the alfbi, ne dis,
missed that in very brief temrs as being based
entirely on the testimony OF interested VIII
ncsseS.
Mr. johnson in his speech in the afternoon
followed line Of argument like TINS; Ihat
degree nothing. and it did not contain any
murder in the second degree; that the de-
fendant had all along been trying to form
new associations for himself, chiefly aided by
worked hard in Tennessee, then broken
with the gang and gone to Iexas,
sending his wife to Missouri to nego.
tate q surrender; that Liddell testlned
against the accused from motives or personal
safety; that there were but four men at the
Winston robbery, and that the defendant was
not one of those four; that the mere proXlmi-
ty of Frank James to the scene of the rOpDery
as detailed by the States witnesses dld not
prove actual participation in the crime; that
Lddell was to be believed when he told GOV,
ernor Crittenden how Frank had demonstrated
with Jesse James for killing any one on the
train rather than when he stated from the Wit
ness stand how Frank had remarked that he
believed he had shot one man, as he had seen
him drop; that the State had no case If Lid
dells testimony was taken out of it; that all
were liable to be mistaken in their Identl1ca-
tiOn of other specimens of the race. and that
the alibi set up was a good one as measured
by its apparent weakness and the interest OF
have been easy to get fifty men with perjured
testimony to locate the defendant at the time
of the Winston robbery in Texas, Colorado or
any other part of the country.

THE TWO LOVES,


The sweetest notes among the human heart
strings
Are dull with rust;
The sweetest cords adjusted by the angels
Are clogged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dream, music,
Upon the self-same strain,
While sounds OF crime and fear and desolaton
Come back In sad refrains
On through the world we so. an army marching,
With listening ears:
Each longing, signing for the heavenly music
He never hears;
Each longing, signing for word OF comfort
A word OF tender praise
word Of love to cheer the endless Journey
ofearth's hard, busy days
They love us. ana we know it; this sunless
For reasons snare;
Why should they pause to give that love express
with gentle carer
Why should they pauses But stiii our hearts ar,
aching
with the growing pain
OF hungry love, that longs TO hear the music,
And longs, and longs In vain
We love them, and they know IL, II we .eiter,
With fingers numb,
Among the unused strings or loves expression,
The notes are dumb,
We shrink within ourselves In yoleeless sorrow,
Leaving the words unsad
And, side by side with those we love the dearest
In silence on we tread.
Thus on we tread. and thus each heart in silencs
Its fate fulflis-
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills
The only difference OF the love In heaven
From love on earth below,
ts, here we love aud know not how to tell IL,
And there we shall know
