PLEAS FOR STEAD.
The End Sought Pleaded In Justification
of the Means.

LONDON, OCT. 2S.-The trial OF the
Armstrong abduction case was resumed
at the Central criminal court to-day. The
testimony OF the prosecution being ell in
the attorney general announced that his
side Of the case was closed.
Charles Russell the counsel for the
defense, then addressed the court in be-
half OF the prisoners. He vindicated the
sublime motives OF Mrs. Jarrett when sne
took the girl from her mother for Mr.
Stead, and claimed that the absence of the
consent of her father did not MAKE the
act crime, if the mothers consent had
been obtained without misrepresentation
or fraud.
Mr.. Stead then addressed the jury in
behalf Of himeeh and the other defend
ants. His argument was on the basis
that the end justified the means
STEAD FACES THE CHARGE.
MI. Stead, in addressing the jury, SAID
that il the jury found any one guilty, ne
alone must be found guilty. He now re-
gretted that so many Of his friends had
become involved in such case. He
urged that Eliza Armstrong had been sent
on the continent for the purpose of show
ing the facility with which girls could be
deported without their parents knowing
their whereabouts. Mr.. Stead claimed
that his object In the latter instance was
to suppress the horrible and Internal
traffic In young girls to be sent to the con.
tinent for immoral purposes.
HOLDING HIM TO THE LINE.
Justice Lopez told Mr. Stead that he
was travelling very wide Of the subject OF
the crime wherewith he was charged, and
that be weut beyond the issue before them
in repeating conversations he had had
with Howard Vincent concerning the mo-
tlYes be had in view ia his conduct re-
specting Eliza Armstrong. Mr.. Stead
contended that he was try to show that
this was case OF prOcuratiOn, and not
one of abduction. He said Mrs. Jarrett
first tried to buy the girl from the latter's
parents, In Whiteohapel, but failed.
BELIEF OF THE GIRLS MOTHER.
Mrs. Jarrett had assured him that
Eliza's mother and Mrs. BrOuehtOn were
made to firmly believe that Eliza was go
ing TO be ruined, and had no reason for
suspeeting that she was destined for other
than debauohee.
Mr.. Stead intimated his intention TO
call the Archbishop or Canterbury, How
ard Vincent, Col. Henderson, Commits
siOner OF the Metropolitan, and Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary
TO the Gladstone Cabinet, as witnesses.
APPEALING TO THE ENGLISH.
He concluded by observing that when
the jury heard the testimony Of the fore
going, nobody of English birth would re-
turn a verdict against him. Mr.. Stead
was frequently called to order during his
address for wandering from the subject
matter under consideration.
The court then adjourned.
