TIE QUESTION OF AGE.
THE ARGUMENTS.

THE ARGUMENTS.
At the conclusion of tire evidence, Dis
trict Attorney Watts opened the case in a
spe ch of about three-quarters Of an hour,
and was followed by Mr.. Atkinson for the
defense, both gentlemen making strong
speeches. When the afternoon session was
inaugurated, Captain DOvener took the
hcor and spoke for about an hour and half,
making most excellent speech. At the
close he was warmly congratulated by his
friends and complimented by District At
toruey Watts.
In Opening his final argument General
Watts took occasion to call attention to
the fact that he had been accused, in sea-
son and out of season, of desiring verdicts
at the hands of juTies without much re-
gard for the weight Of evidence. Jurors
had said sin this Court room, at this ses-
sion, that Watts could lead a juryman to
the trough, but he couldn't make him
drink" He desired to denounce that sort
eff thing, and 10 say, distinctly and en-
phstically, that i! the jury .ound a reason
able doubt, as TO the age of the defendant,
after looking over all the evidence, and
weighing the fac presented, they ought
to give the defendant the benefit OF that
doubt. and return a verdict of not guilty.
This disposed of, Gen. Watts proceeded to
review the case, and matched Captain
DOyeDer's speech with one equally re-
markable for elOquence and argument.
He went over the evidence point by
point weighed the witnesses on each side
against each other, pointed out that the
government witnesses had no motive IN
testifying, while the mother and grand
mother, had the strongest motives for
wishing 10 keep the defendant ont of
trouble. In closing he once more called
attention to allegations of political mo-
lives on his part and said he would thank
any member Of the jury to point out any
thing which savOred Of bias or miscOnstruc-
tiop He finished at five o'clock, and the
iury was harded the ind ctment and sent
10 their room.
THE HALF CASE.
As soon a. the jury was locked up, the
case of the United States v. George B.
Hale, was called, and the government an
nounCed its readiness 10 proceed Captain
Dovener said the defense was not ready,
because Of the absence of James Alexander,
q material witness, and read an affidavit
setting forth that fact, and praying that
the witness either be summoned by the
government or the case continued. The
Court refused to continue the case, pointed
cut that Hale himself, had, on the preyi
Gus day, and in 6 manner which the Court
took to be offensive, announced his readi-
ress to so on, snd then said an affidavit
fled at such late dag was rot ground
either for a continuance or anything else
The witness would be brought in by the
government as soon as he could be found.
Captain Doyener thought that IAN es-
pecial drive was being made st Mr.. Hale,
but wss assured by the District Attorney
that it was not the Casa. The case had
been set repeatedly, aud had been allowed
to 20 over at the request Of the defense.

A STRANGE JURY.
UNABLE TO GIT THB COURT TO INDICATE
ITS PROBABLE SENTENCE
Tt Brings In a Verdict Of Not Guilty After Declar-
ing It Was Unable TO Agrea-A Lively Day
in the United States Court

The proceedings before Judge Jackson,
in the United States District Court, yes
terday, were Of decided moment.
A case involving many vital and impOr-
tant points, arguments of an unusually
eloquent character, q lively passage be-
tween the Court and counsel, and 3 freak
on the part Of a jury which was very
queer, made up 8 most interesting session,
and one which attracted and held an audi
ence only limited by the size of the Court
room.
The case on trial was that Of the United
States V. William Meyer, charged in the in
dictment with casting q vote without be-
ing at the time Of the lawful age OF twenty
one years.
TAKING OF EVIDENCE RESUMED.
A portion Of the case for the government
was printed in the REGISTER yesterday
morning, and when Court opened the TAX
ing of testimony was resumed and con-
tinueI until about eleven O'Clock. 1t was
put in evidence for the government that
the defendant could not have been born
before March, 1868, there being strong
proof of this in several directions, one wit
ness saying be moved from this county 10
Movers neighbOrhOod in March, 1868,
and that the child was born after
he arrived there, fixing the date, both as
to year and month in way which admit
ted of little loom for error. Other wit
nesses who hsd known defendant all his
life, advised him, on election day, not to
vote, as he was not of age, and after the
election. when one Of them told Meyer he
was sorry be had voted, Meyer said: You
keep quiet
Never is an extremely yOuthful-lOoking
person. and sn observer on ordinary Occa-
sions, would put him down asabout eighteen
or ninstesn years Of age.
THE QUESTION OF AGE.
Mrs. Meyer, mother of the defendant,
and her mother, grandmother OF the de-
PENDANT. both testified that he was born on
March Dist, 1867, and that he was twenty
two years OF age yesterday, but on cross
examination Mrs. Meyer said her soD,
who had stated TO the election officers,
at the polls, that he was twenty
one years of age, did not
know how old he was, and that she had
never told him. When the defendant was
placed on the stand, he cOntrsdic,ed his
mother, saying she had told him his age,
and they had talked over the subject both
before and after the election. There was
memorandum in a small book, of the
birth Of the defendant, with the date
March p, 1867, but it wss proven this
was written ten years or so after the boy
was born, and was simply the recollection
of the mother.
