ed that even II Mr.. Coo had owed the
money, and It would have been bis
debt, the manner Of seizing the property
| was illegal and unjust.
Mr.. Fulton closed at 1l.25 O'Clock,
and was followed by Richard Harring.

that Russell Coo rented the farm to j.
II. Wilson, and he finding that he could
make more money At something else

Knowing that this man whom be
had employed did not have tho stock
needed on the farm, he purchased this
very stock now In dispute and put it
there with the understanding that he
was to have the one half Of oil the pro.
ducts Of the stock and ono half the In.

This was the bargain, and II the gen.
tlemen Of the Jury were gifted with the
eye Of Omnipotence, aud could look
into the hearts Of Russell Coo and John
II. Wilson they would 500 that 1t was
the truth.
He was sorry they had placed John
Il. Wilson on the stand, a. 1t was the
most disagreeable duty a lawyer has to
perform to attack the character Of

by some OF the most respectable citi.

The counsel on the other side had
spoken about the complaint Of their
bringing the case here for trial, and had
given some very plausible reasons why
It was done, but they had never told
the true reason, which was, that they
dare not try :tbis case before
Kent County jury; John r. Wilson
is known too well In his own home,
and II was necessary to bring the case
here where they thought no one knew
him. They did not think the counsel
for the defendant would 60 TO the
trouble to bring witnesses here to show
what his character was at home, but
nevertheless they did 1t.
He had no personal feelings against
John X. Wilson, but he knew that
while at first the amount involved
was only $35, he also knew that
q verdict carrying the costs with it
against Thomas English, the constable,
would amonnt to over 81, 200, which
meant turning him and his children
