COIIEN's BITTER TALK.
The Jury Locked Up-The btate's Arr 4ument to De Closed To- Day by Julian Mitchell Public Opinion
 Setting Against M,Dow

CHARLESTON, s. C., June 29.-The de- fendant's counsel occupied the entire day in court yesterday in arguing the case for McDow. MT. Cohen spoke from 10 to 1.3O p. m., and ex-Judge Ma grath from 2.3O to 4.30 p. m.
 Great stress was laid upon the fact that McDow had his pistol in his pocket, and that he did not take it from his desk as he told the reporters on the night of the homicide.
 It was argued that if Dawson had at tackled him, and being much larger man he was justified in defending him. self with his pistol. To do away with the damaging statement that Dawson was shot in tho back, stress was laid on the difference of opinion between medi- cal men as to the power of tissues in the human body to defect bullet.
 MT. Cohen's argument was very lm- pressive and very bitter. At one time during it's delivery, when he alluded to the fact that McDow was in his home when attacked, there were symptoms of applause in the courtroom.
 During his argument Judge Magrath mentioned the fact that his colleague, Mr. Cohen, had been retained for the attempt to defend McDow's liaison with the Swiss maid. Judge Magrath, on the other hand. claimed that the woman had made love to the man, and held an influ- ence over him.
 The argument will be closed today by Julien Mitchell, ono of tho most powerful pleaders at the bar. in behalf of the state.
 The jury has been locked up since Thursday afternoon. Since McDow's statement has been made public his friends are not so confident of his ac- quittal. The details of his burying tho body had been disbelieved by many. Their relation created considerable sensation.
 Since McDow's confession of his burial and resurrection of tho body of Capt. Dawson. the general public opinion :>'cms to have undergone a change. and it begins to look as if tho jury, notwith- standing its complexion, may bring in q verdict of guilty. Pnblic opinion is very general hero that it. is about time to commence hanging white murderers in South Carolina. There Is no trouble in convicting and hanging negro murderers, but although the criminal dockets are filled with white murdcrers, there has not been m execution of whic man i'll tho state in q quarter of d century.
