The Court-it is the wilness's 8
| privilege TO come forward and make
a retraction. Mrs. Mills [having
now entered) was asked by the
Court what she wished to say.

CLOSING TO THE JURY.
Mr.. Hatch objected to more than
one address to the jury in closing.
Counsel for the defense represented
different men and there was no room
for argument against their right to
be separately heard. On the other
hand, the Crown had chosen to try
these men together and should be
limited to single argument against
them.
Mr. Peterson held that as counsel
for the defense might take different
grounds, it might be necessary tc
answer them separateiy-argument
by one counse! and reply, and all
other argument and reply.
The Court thought this bad beer
done before.
Mr.. Hatch said they wished &c
save every point, and thought il
was proper occasion to establish q
precedent.
The Cour. decided against alter
nu.ing arguinents--it must he tlrs
al! the defense and then all the pro
secution.
Mr.. Neumann withdrew the clain
to attenuation Of arguments.
Mr.. Davidson desired q few mo
men,s to collect his thoughts an,
fetch paper from his lodging.
The Court granted recess from
1915 to 1890.

Mr.. Davidson, sitter recess, be
gan TO close for the defense. III
alluded 10 the vital importance o
the case 10 the defendants. 1t wa
to be decided by the jury whethe
the prosecution had made out wha
they pre- missed to do in their open
ing. Investigation into 4 crime o
this kind was always to be desired
and the punishment OF the offend
crs. One of the most serious dan
gers in life was from coming t.
hasty conclusions. Deputy Sherif
Stevens had been sent TO llo
nokaa to take pictures of place
where certain things were sal,
to have been done, and this hat
raised SUSPECT, n, in the minds q
people against these untortunat
defendants. He said untortunat
because it was great misfortune L
have suspicious attached TO me
however spotless their cLaractc
might be. Referring to the eyidenc
Of Deputy Sheriff Lyman he advert
ed to the omission Of witness TO pre-
, duce the shreds of garment whic
had been found adheripg to tn
rough edges of the telephone pol
this although he was careful t
preserve and produce q little piec
of twine such rs might have iallc
from the pocket of child. MI
Overcnd's evidence related chief
to the change OF interpreter at th
, fire investigation, but it proved tbs
the change had been made at TIL
instance of Mr.. Lyman himself
Tietjen and Olsen practically kne'
I nothing, their evidence had litti
bearing on the case. Sheriff Hitcl
cock introduced statement b
Lala, witness of second greatest in

statements from three OF the d.
