the old time fashioned manners of lifting

GETTING Down TO FACTS.

Gentlemen, if l have established
anything by discussing the facts, l
have shown this, that Torian was
murdered by a Smith Il Wesson pis-
tol No. 80, with ball indented and
inilled. l have established that he
was killed and assassinated on Dec
%, 1884, at 25 minutes past six in the
evening. On top of that l have shown
that Radford had a motive to have
committed that crime. haven't said
yet that he did it. But he had mo-
tive that would have moved and in
iluenced the man that did 1T. The
only question now at issue is

After his horse is shod Radford
leaves Longview and rides in brisk
lrot down the pike. What time?
Here we again divcrge. In the face
of the testimony in this case was
surprised that il should have been
undertaken TO show that it was after
d O'Clock. Here is Gray, who SAYS il
was getting dusk. Buck Radford,
Mack Radlord, DR.. Radford and
Percy Mckee all say he came to the
store and sat there until about dusk,
which was al 8 o'clock. Shall we
wait till darkness covers tile earth 10
call it dusk? never so understood
it. When Gods daylight has gone
down and the shadows of evening
are gone, when the light grows more
and more dim, the most quiet part of
day, when "twilight drops her cur
tain down and pins it with STAR
then it is that dusk has come. The |
sun set at 4 ~ that evening aud ii
was 5-say 5 and half if you will
when he left Longview. The next
thing you hear of Radford is when
he reaches Evans, at 7O'clock, not
over 5ls miles distant by the long
route. You are gentlemen of sense
and practical experience in regard to
the speed of horses. Now, where
was Radford from 5A till o'clock,
not less than | = hours and the best
proof says an hour and So minutes.
Was he on his way from Longview
to Evans? Stop and think. This
is a serious matter and / want your
best judgment. | say lie never con-
sumed an hour and half in that
trip. No man will believe it. You
haven't plug on your farm that
wouldn't have made il in an hour.
Smooth country road-fast PAGER
brisk trotter! Common sense must
tell you he didn't take an hour and
half to ride five miles. What of the
night? Man with his great coat,
cap and furs, cold December evening,
earth hard frozen, ice on the ponds.
Such was the night. Do you be-
lieve it took all hour and half over
that smooth country road to make
that trip? The common sense and
observation of every man draws
back and denies its truth. We know
that lie went TO Evans. That is not
disputed. Here is another fact.

it occurred about Z o'clock and you
are urged with all the vehemence of

I have learned since coming into
this court that one Of your number
Is sick from the labors Of this trial.
Your labor and service has been
tedious and arduous and | feel dis
posed TO congratulate you that the
time draws near when the case will
be concluded. beg your indulgence
this morning. gentlemen Of the jury,
while | come as Commonwealth =
Attorney, representing the prosecu-
ton, 10 submit few observations on
the law and facts of this case. The
law as delivered by the court needs
but little explanation. Whatever
may be involved in the facts OF the
case the law is plainly laid down and
understood. Very much has been
said not german nor material to the
question under discussion. You have
heard talk of animus on the part of
witnesses for The prosecution. Col. Nc
Pherson called it the persecution
and Col. Sims called il "the relentless
and unholy prosecution" They have
said that gentlemen have been en-
gagged to aid the prosecution from
abroad, imported TO help in wagiug
a bitter warfare upon this man, in
order that blood might be shed. This,
gentlemen, is but 10 divert your at
tention from the issue involved in
this case. This has been the custom
from the organization fthe state that
counsel have been called to aid In
bringing guilty men to punishment.
However that may be, | feel that

he was arraigned at the bar. There
is 10 reason why should do more
than perform my sworn duty. The
law presumes every man innocent
until he is proven guilty. Ii after
considering the facts you entertain a
reasonable doubt of his guilt it is
your duty 10 strip the shackles from
his limbs, nbar his prison door and
bid him breathe the air OF liberty.

WHERE WAS He?

Where was Luther Radford during
this interval? No man says he ever
saw him. 1t is an absolute and ctcr-
nal fact that he stopped on the way.
Where was he Tracks at graveyard
the direction points to Evans. That
very night here was Reuben Tally at
his woodpile getting chips and wood
to warm him against that bitter nigh.
HIS attention is arrested by horse
man coming down the road with the
speed of the wind and like the flying
zephyr. The resounding hoof is
heard by Terrell, and Vaughan $50
yards off hears the same sound Of
rafting feet on the hard frozen
ground. lie thinks to himself, "some-
body is sick and he is going for the
doctor" This horseman comes, this
unknown messenger, turns through
the road leading up to Evans, a mile
further OH. Gates are thrown wide
open like toll gates at the approach
OF John Gilpin. At 5 minutes to 7
Radford stabbed his horse at Evans
blocks. Evans and his wife tell you
that he came in and that his first
words were to ask the time. Invited
to take seat at the fire, the old
cracking country fire, he says, "No
madam, Pm not cold" And looking
she tells you she saw perspiration in
beads upon his front. Here's man
who has ridden 81 miles in an hour
and a half on cold and frozen night
and yet comes in with perspiration
bre aking from his brow and his coats
thrown open, saying he is not cold.
No sir, lie didn't want to warm.
There was more important qnes-
ton than that. Now, gentlemen,
think about il as sensible, practical
men. What is your idea? Why was
his first question about the time ?
Directly in front of the clock, so plain
to his vision that he could see every
vibration of the pendulum and hear
its every tick, and yet attracts atten-
ton by asking the time. lie is told
that it is 5 minutes to I and takes
out his watch, gold watch, gentle
men, and he has It on now, and says,
"oh, you are too fast, its only 30"
Why is this What strange conduct
When you might expect man to
warm he draws back and the only
thing that attracts his attention is a
question of time, That murder was
done with deliberation, with pre-
arranged mind, so arranged that he
would make it appear that he was
elsewhere at that time.

BACK TO THE INQUEST.

Later, Radford is there, who is the
man in all that crowd, out of all that
number, to suggest again the ques-
ton of time. Enough to know the
facts, but we find Radford calling the
attention of the jury to Adcock's
statement that it occurred about 7
O'clock. He says, "take notice, gen.
tlemen, he says it was at 7 O'Clock" :"
Why was lie so deeply interested in
the peculiar hour of Z o'clock. just
from Evans, he knew there were wit
nesses TO the fact that he was there
at that hour. Here's Adcock who
says it was about 7. lie little knew
then of those two young men mile
away, who fixed the time beyond
doubt or cavi. Sir, believe the
finger of God has been in this thing.
Here you find Radford Ginning in
with the wounded man for I o'clock.
Here they are now grasping at the
last refuge of this poor, guilty, bloody
man. 7 O'clock and an abb.

Reuben Tally says about ~ hours
after lie was at the woodpile he hears
coming a horseman who spurs and
plows his way. Such was the speed
Of his horse that in his cabin he could
detect that he turned into the road,
at the forks, towards Mrs. Steger's.
Radford don't deny this. Who was
this flying horsemen who speeds
along tho road? ask you to say
upon your oath and best judgment
if it was not Radford. Now we come
to the point most satisfactory 10 my
mind. What do we find? Radford
comes back to the house of murder
and death. l tell you that in the Or
binary course of affairs the ordinary
murderer wouldn't return and help
to shroud his victim, but that man
who hid beneath that cedar tree and
did what he did would do anything
to cover his tracks. This man

[From tie Kansas City Journdt.l

MEDICINE LODGE, June lit has
frequently been said that in these Wes-
tern towns real estate, particularly resi-
dence sites, are held higher than in
Kansas City. Having some curiosity
to find out whether this was tYue or not,
l invaded the Offices of the many real
estate men of this little city, and af-
ter careful inquiry, am inclined to be-
lieve the truth was told. Not only one
or two, but all the real estate men COM
planned Of business being particularly
dull Though after the customary plaint,
one of them confidentially informed me
that he had "sold two farms this fore
noon and had made good thing Of
them" Perhaps he did. 1t is not for
| me to be the first to doubt the word of
a land agent, one of those gulleless
creatures who always see only the
bright, sunshiny features of the country,
and always close their eyes to the dark
side. Waxing eloquent in talking to a
Supposed buyer, one of them, pointing
out some most barren looking hills in
the distance, said:
"There is no portion of this land that
| is not yaluble. Look at those hills. You
might think they were good for nothing
except grazing. But there is where
you are mistaken. Come back here in
twenty years, and you will see them all
covered with the finest vineyards in the
world, and Barber county wine will be
a household word in the wealthy fami-
lies of the United States and Europe
provided our COMPOUNDED Legislature
will repeal our prohibitory law and LET
us make the-wine. Why, sir, the very
sand bottoms are full of wealth. and
only awaits the work of some enterpris-
ing man to bring it forth. And as for
our city, sir, you had better buy what
lots you want now, for when the rail-

a city to be envied. The Prairie Dog is
published at Lake City.
SUN CITY is 2I miles from the county
seat, west, and is also near the Medi-
cine river. 1t commands valuable
trade from the west and north, and is
improving steadily. Hotels livery sta
bleS, mercantile establishments and
shops are to be found here; a commun.
ity of prosperous citizens surround the
town, and there are few better localities
in the county. Sun City has newspa-
per, the Union, that will give strangers
a good idea Of its resources an oppor-
tunities.
ELM MILLS is village on Elm creek,
16 miles from Medicine Lodge 1t has
stores and the finest Towering mill in
Southern Kansas Kansas, it being sup
piled with the latest roller process ma
chinery, and run by water the entire
year at comparatively no cost. No eff
fort has ever been made to establish a
town here; but it will naturally build
up, for it is surrounded by productive
country.
MINGoNA is anew town located with
in the past few weeks, 8 miles west of
Medicine Lodge, near the Medicine riv-
er. 1t is beautiful townsite, in the
heart of prosperous country, and will
be good trading point.

dering Indian tribes, knowing and car
ing nothing for commerce, agriculture
or education, may now be found cities,
towns and villages; there are business
centres, patronized for miles around,
supplying the inhabitants with every
thing that can be purchased in any me-
tropolis, at eastern prices with freight
alone added. Where, after civilization
had penetrated, there were few capital
lists, to-day are hundreds of men out of
debt, with money TO use for speculative
purposes. Evidences of prosperity are
to be seen on every hand, and there are
no indications of hard times in Barber
county.
The population that has settled up
Barber county is superior in every re-
spect TO that which usually seeks the
the frontier. The people who have Sc
cured lands here usually come with the
expectation of making this their per.
manent home, and not for the purpose
of speculation. The claims they have
proved up were selected with n view tc
their fitness for permanent farms oI
