THE DEFENSE.
GALLAr1N. no. sent. ;.


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 alib he dis
missed that I'm very brief temrs rs being based
entirely on the testimony of interested wit
nesses.
Mr. johnson in his speech I'm the afternoon
followed line of argument like this: That
the case was either one OF murder IN the first
degree or nothing. and il did not cor tain any
murder in the second degree; that the dc
PENDANT had all along been trying to FORM
new associations for himself. chiefly aided by
the persuasons of his wife; that he had
worked bard in Tennessee, then broken
sending his wife TO Missouri to negO-
tiate surrender; that Iiddell testified
against the accused from motives of personal
safety that there were but four men ut the
Winston robbery. and that the defendant was
not one of those four: that the mere prOximi-
ty of Frank James to the scene of the robbery
as detailed by the States witnesses did not
prove actual participation in the crime; that
Liddel was to be believed when he told Gov
ernor Crittenden how Frank had demonstrated
with Jesse James for killing any ono 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
delPs testimony was taken out of it, that all
we're liable to be mistaken in their identifica.
ton OF other specimens of the race, and that
the alib set up was good one as measured
by its apparent weakness and the interest of
the parties supporting 1t, because IL would
have been easy to get fifty men with perjured
testimony to locate the defendant az the time
of the Winston robbery in Texas, Colorado or
any other part of the country.

GALLArIN, Mo-, Sept. o.
Mr.. W. I'll. Wallace. Prosecuting Attorney
Tor 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 a most OK
haustive one and was the great feature of the
trial, good judges declaring they never heard
1t surpassed for vigor, evenness, power and.
eloquence. At its close Judge Goodman
charged the jury who then retired in charge
Of the balitfs
Shortly before four o'clock the bailGs in
charge of the jury were notified that they
were ready to submit a verdict, and when
court rcopened at four o'clock Judge Good
man was surprised by the information. The
dereldant was brought into court with his
face paie and impassive as the day the trial
began. He was attended by his wife, whose
fnce wore an expression of suffering that
made 1t painful to look upon. The hail was
not at all crowded, as few had expected II
verdict so soon. The jurors filed in and took
liked on the court. Judge Goodman put the
usual question. After the roll had been
called called and the verdict was submitted the
dictment."
Loud applause followed and some of the au.
dience threw up their hats, while great coniu-
sion ensued Amid il all Frank james sat
looking at the Court without even a change OF
color or Il tremor of hand, Just as hc-had looked
ut the speakers and witnesses all through the
case. His wife's face, however. was changed
in a second from an expression of terror tn
one of radiant JOY. Counsel for the defense
smiled and wore the pumcs of victory well
The States attorney, Mr. Hamilton. and
Judge Hicklin 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 chance to beg or
for throwing up his hat, and when tho gay
assemblagc of ladies had moderated their
ju0ilant buzz to a reasonable degree the Court

wherein the robbery of the Winston train ~

The court then adjourned and the prisoner
was taken back TO Jail in seemingly the same
state of mind as when he left 1t.
