BROAD CASE NEAR AN END
Attorney Mitchell Gives His Theory OF
the $1,000 Mortgage

Most of the time IN the Broad case IN
police court yesterday was consumed
by Messrs. Mitchell and Webster. at
torneys for the defense, in summing up
their side of the evidence. Mr.. Mitch
ell devoted good deal OF attention 10
his theory OF the s., 900 mortgage trans
action which has figured 80 largely
in the case. He SAID that
il was upon that transaction
that the advice To prosecute Broad
was given by Mr.. Corliss, and there
fore he would give his view of It. The
prosecution held, on the testimony OF
Mr.. Steele, that the mortgage was gwen
10 steele by Broad on his Dakota farm,
in order that Broad might apply It TO
the paymeut of some OF his outstand-
ing notes. Broad, on the contrary,
claims that the mortgage was gwen IN
order TO enable Steele 10 raise money
with which 10 operate ON the Board OF
Trade. Mr.. Mitchell claimed that 1t
made little difference IN his case which
of these stories was the true one, tor III
neither event would II fix upon Broad
the crime of embezzlement. suppose
Steele's story is true, that Broad bor-
rowed the money with which to pay
notes, and then used il tor something
else. What of it? Does that constitute
crime before the law? Suppose bor-
row of my brother here sum of
money TO buy bread and go and spend
10 for whisky. Whose business Is 1T?
And how can Mr.. Broad be
convicted of embezzling $4,000
from the Packing Company, when, by
the testimony of both sides, the COM
pany never had the money? The COM
pany never saw it; Broad. therefore
never stole it; he never paid the notes
with it; and now where did it go? 1t
never went anywhere. but the mort
gage went with Steele To Chicago as col
lateral for some of Steele's gambling
transactions. 1t was at this very time
that Steele was straining every nerve to
raise every dollar he could. Coun-
sci on the other side have SAID
at this time, with lots of money III
many banks, when the facts are that he
swore he owed $40 900 to the very bank
IN which Mr.. Corllss says he had a
$1,000 deposit. And If he was IN such
easy circumstances, and did not need
Broad's accommodation. how comes 1t
tlldl NC Is lildklliS uttuS anu iilOlt tSdSCo
at that very time, of upwards of $780,
900, and sending Broad to Pontiac to
try to raise from his brother there q
paltry $4,000? The whole history of those
times shows that 1t was Steele, and
not Broad, who was moving heaven
and earth to raise every cent from any
and every source he could; and hence
it is impossible that Broad should have
stolen what neither Broad nor the Pack
ing Company ever had.
