italian strikers, and contended that

oners were concerned In the asssult
He was followed by Thomas Dav;,
Esq., for the defence, who maintajns
that the prisoners, with the exceptim
of the one who took the stone av,,
from Rubino, had not been identi6S
IA being concerned In the assault m
Thought the tact of this man ,akin,
the stone from The other showed tbs, N
wished 10 prevent . fight.
Mr.. Harrington made the closiuy
argument for the defense, and pictured
to the jury the unfortunate condition i,
which his clients were placed The,
are foreigners and strangers in hi
country, and what Is still worse unsbl,
to speak or understand the lanpusp,
He reviewed the evidence, and aid
that OF the prosecuting witness esue
cial,y, was. filed with inconsistencies
The other witnesses could not speak d,
understand The Italian language, and
consequently did not know what passi
between this crowd Of seventy men
who rushed on Rubino. Mr.. Harringtn
con inued at some length, and made az
able argument In defense of his client.

The crowd, consistingjof some sevsng
strikers, then came to where RUBIN
was at work, with the evident inteniia
of compelling him to quit. That very
tact proved them to be an unlawful a.
sem blage combined together for an un|
lawful purpose. This man was work
ing where there were but few Italian
and did not wish to quit work
These men, however, tried to compd|
him to quit, and when he refused as|
sanlted him. He closed by asking th,|
