the exception OF Clancy, tho States
case was closed
blr. Forrest asked that the defense be
given until Monday morning for a
proper preparation Of its case. II neces-

rest lie had been working every
night until ! or , o'clock in the
morning for two weeks The court
was disposed 20 give Mr.. Forrest until
Saturday morning, saying that he CON
sidered TWO days and a half considera-
ble Indulgence. After good deal -
argument Judge Mcconnell cut of For
rest by announcing that the court would
al journ until 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing when tie State would conclude its
evidence.
II was decided that Mr.. Clancy would
testify Saturday morning and then the
defense would make motions TO exclude
various portions Of the testimony. Mon
day tho defense win begin the produc-
tion Of its evidence.
Saturday viii be the proper time for
O motion in behalf Of Beggs, and Mr..
Foster viii doubtless then move for his
discharge on the ground that the evil
dence is insufficient 10 warrant his long
er detention as a prisoner. DonahOe
may make the same motion in behalf
OF Kunze. As for the rest of the prison
ers, their lawyers Will probably base
their defense on scattering fire Of
alibies. In this event the State has in
reserve some good testimony which Will
be offered in rcbuttal.
Unlike the Anarchist case this one
can not 90 TO Tie Supreme Court of the
United States. In the Anarchist case a
constitutional question was raised, but
in this one no such issue is involved.
The Supreme Court of the State IS the
last and final resort to which these de-
PENDANTS can appeal with the exception
OF Executive clemency, should they be
convicted.
The defense expects to appeal upon
the ground that five Incompetent jurors
were forced upon them. Juror Clark,
the last man accepted, they believe was
obviously incompetent. and. aside from
any errors in the introduction of testi
mony they viii rely upon the alleged
nlegality of the jury in making an ap-
peal in the event the verdict is against
them.
Mr. Forrest said he thought 10 would
require about ten days for him to pre-
sent his side OF the case. The number
Of speeches to be made by the defense or
who viii be the orators Of that side Of
the case has not been decided on.
Mr.. Foster, attorney for John T.
Bexgs, said that the testimony to be Of
fered on his clients behalf would not re-
quire more than half day. There's
nothing 70 meet said he. THE eyi-
dence introduced against Beggs by the
State does not need denial. There's
nothing in IT,"
WHAT THE STATE HAS SNOWY.
The curtain was rung down Wednes-
day on the second act IN the drama now
being presented in Judge McConnell's
court. The first act was the securing Of
Jury. The second was the presenta-
tion OF the States evidence for the de-
fense, the third VIII be the evidence for
the defense, tho fourth the arguments
Of counsel. and the fifth the verdict Of
tho iury.
The State has presented its case from
the mouths OF nearly $50 witnesses.
Seventeen days have actually been de-
voted TO the hearing Of testimony and
the introduction of evidence. In gen
eral way the state has proved what IL
