Judge Stewards Argument Brings the
Crowd to Its Feet.
FORSYTH. Ga, Dec. 2.-The entire day
has been spent in arguments in the case
against David Thomas. charged with the
murder of Miss Gossett All the evidence
was in by 10 o'clock this morning, and all
eyes were fastened on Judge John D. Stew
art as he rose and began addressing the jury
and appealing to them to vindicate and en-
force the law. He discussed the evidence in
all its bearings upon the case. and then. one
by one, exploded the theories of the defense.
Never was q more terrific array of facts
brought to bear against man, or handled
in more logical way than by Judge Stew
art in this case. He made many flights of
eloquence that fairly carried the crowd by
storm, and as he drew picture of how this
fair young girl, in attempting to rescue her
father from the Thomas boys,
received the load into her pure
heart and as the day died away and the
darkness of night shut out all light and hope
from broken>hearted father, her pure soul
winged its way to the throne Of God, there
to charge to David Thomas soul the crime
Of murder.
THE SPECTATORS RISE TO THEIR FEET.
The crowd instinctively rose to their feet
as 10 express their approval of what he was
saying, ana if the judges arraignment had
the same effect on the jury that it did on the
audience. Thomas stands but little chance
to escape the gallows
At 3 O'Clock Hon. r. L. Berner began his
argument for the defense, concluding at 8
O'Clock. His speech was well received, but
the facts were against him and he had but
little to say except to abuse the Gossett
family.
Judge John /. Hall will speak for the
dafs -. -
will speak for the state. Both these gentle-
men are men Of great ability and character
and will present their respective sides il
the best possible manner
