burden of making the case is incumbent
upon the state. We must weaken that
case You must be convinced, beyond a
reasonable doubt, that Noah Benson is /
dead, and that these prisoners killed him, |
with malice aforethought.
There is not one iota of proof against |
Mrs. Hutt Her arraignment is of the |
greatest enormities ever committed by |

She is in the boNl In whose house was

'The detectives had blood In their
eyes. They were full of the fdea Of the

on the walls, ON the floor and ON the
clothes Il was what they were looking
for. IL is easy for man TO find what he
is looking for when he knows just what
he wants The state is backing them. The
prisoners are poor and, unfortunately,
their counsel Is poor Give me two
such skilled detectives for my side OF the

This case is beyond reasonable doubt.
There is no evidence TO connect the Hutts
with il. We have proved an alibi for
Miller and Johnson The verdict must
be murder In the first degree or nothing
They must hang or be acquitted. There
Is no compromise in this ease
Dan Miller is not here to be convicted
on general principles. Altogether thir
teen witnesses told you they saw Miller
here ON Thanksgiving Day. Against that
, the state has one witness. The state has
failed to show any motive whatever
