L1LLrE's SAD DEATH.
MIR. Welty here described the death OF
Lille Bordner in feeling manner. He
told OF her singing hymn and spoke Of
the dying request. His remarks were elo-
quent and pathetic and every Juror looked
at him and listened attentively.
She said she wanted her father and
mother to know the real cause of her
death. Why tell IL TO her mother IL she
already knew it2 The statement of Mr..
Pomerene yesterday regarding this
mother was uncalled for,
UNwARRANTED AND INHuMAN.
The defense robbed her Of her daughter
and now want TO drive this mother TO her
grave with grief. Mrs. Bordner was visi-
bly, effected, the tears rolling down her
cheeks. Mr.. Bordner was also deeply
touched, and the tears flowed freely.
Will you believe the testimony Of Mrs,
Gully before the grand jury, or on the wit
ness stand2 Robert Gully either perjured
himself before the grand jury, or in his
| der osition.

the truth as he has nothing to conceal.

Mr.. Welty then paid bis respects to
Clairvoyant Fletcher, in very lively
manner. He made light of her testimony
and showed it could not be true.
He spoke of the question of reputation,
saying DR.. Cock was the only doctor who
would swear DR.. Maxwell was even
honest. Mr.. Welty was very severe in
criticising Mr.. Pomerene for abusing and
traducing such doctors as Phillips,
Fraumfelter, March, Post and Brant,
whose regulations he said
WERE ABOVE REPRoAoH.

Phillips being jealous of DR.. Maxwell
Mr.. Pomerene said the finger of slander
pointed at all the doctors. say
IT is FALSE AND UNwARRANTED.
Young man l tell you the man does not
live who can utter word against either of
them. The same attack was made on
the mother by Mr.. Pomerene.
Mr.. Pomerene maligns the press. In
the name OF common sense you are the
last one who ought to say it. In fact he
abused every one except the jury. He
says DR.. Maxwell has good heart, and
went down there with his arm around the
girl. l would have seen ghosts all the
way. do not want such heart. No
man could do it, unless he was
HARDENED CRIMINAL,
Swerve not from the oath that you have
taken, so that when you come to the
people you can say why the verdict was
rendered.
Mr.. Welty closed his argument at noon.
His effort is highly complimented on all
sides, and Is considered one of the best
arguments ever made to q Stark county
jury. He can we'll feel proud of the mast
erly manner in which he handled his part
Of the case. During his argument the
language was clear and eloquent, while II
is generally admitted that he stated the
facts to the jury in very fair manner.
He did not attempt to deceive, and his ad-
dress undoubtedly will have great weight
with the jury.
After he had concluded his remarks,
court adjourned until 80 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
A large crowd was In attendance this
afternoon to hear the charge OF Judge
Taylor. The charge was able and fair
