Arguments in the Davis Murder Trial
at Provo.
Attorneys Sutherland and Henderson Make
Strong Pleas for the Defense-The Jury
win Be Charged This Morning.

Provo, Dec. 23.-During the entire
session of court yesterday the Jury was
attentively listening to the arguments Of
counsel in the Davis murder case.
George Sutherland, for the defense, fol-
lowed Mr.. Zane, and made strong and
logical plea. Explanations in reference to
the different degrees of murder made bv
the district attorney were denounced as
incorrect and the speaker read to the iurv
just what the law says upon the subject.
giving explanation as he went along.
Coming down to the battle between Davis
and Brock, it was assumed that the latter
was the aggressor, and came upon the
defendant with such ferocity as to render
it impossible for him to escape with his
life without taking violent measures.
Judge Henderson also made plea for
the defendant. He spoke forcibly on all
points connected with the case, and no
doubt did all for the defendant that the
merits OF the case demanded.
Mr.. Zane closed in an eloquent speech,
and reached a climax when he referred to
the dead men whose lips had all been
sealed by the defendant from telling the
story of the tragedy. He begged that the
jurors do their duty-the duty they owe
to justice, their country and society.
Judge Blackburn reserved his charge to
the jury until this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The case has created great interest in
the public mind. and every day the case
has been in progress the courthouse has
been flied with spectators.
William Henry, who has been employed
on the fire building, fell from a scaffold
yesterday and broke a rib. After being
taken into PAYNE & MaIben'S drug store
for treatment he was relieved of any ex-
cruciating pain.
Daniel Evans was in Provo yesterday on
legal business.

The Temple of Honor and Temperance
held their regular meeting at their hall in
Deseret Bank=building on Thursday even
ing, which was greatly enjoyed by those
present. "The good of the order' commit
tee reported preparations already under
way. for their next social entertainment,
which takes place at their hall on the
evening of Jan. 5, 1893, to which the gen.
eral public are invited free, when the
Templars and their friends are anticipat-
ing another time of social enjoyment 1t
goes without saying that this will be the
case, as these social features of the order
are becoming quite popular. The aim of
all the members is to make these monthly
entertainments enjoyable and instructive
to all who attend. This was especially
the case in their last effort, as all who
were present will testify. A fine pro-
gramme OF musical and other exercises
will be arranged and all who attend will
be satisfied that the Temple of Honor and
Temperance are not behind others in en-
tertainlng their friends, fraternity being
one OF the cardinal principles OF the order.

tend to Know.
AN INQUEST TO BE HELD.
Enough StrycIinine in Her Medicine
to Kill Five Persons.
The Officers are Very Reticent, but Think
They Have Fastened the Guilt Where
it BeIongs-The Doctors
Certificate.

OGDEN, Dec. 23.-The mystery sur
rounding the death OF Mrs. Eliza Duncan,
who died on Thursday in such horrible
agony, is slowly melting away and the
officials in whose hands the case has been
placed, are satisfied that they have fas-
tened the guilt of the murder where it be-
longs. They are very reticent, however,
and do not desire the press to divulge
their movements until the case has been
settled with some degree OF certainty.
This morning DR.. Blackburn gave to
the public the result of his analyses OF the
contents OF the bottle from which the lady
took the medicine which caused her
death, and of glass which stood near the
bedside. Traces of strychnine were found
In each, there being enough in solution
in the liquid contained in the bottle to
have caused the death of at least five per-
sons.
THE DOCTORS CERTIFICATE.
The doctor has signed certificate in
which he swearS that the woman came to
her death by strychnine poisoning, the
drug having been placed in the bottle
containing one dose of Miles nervine.
An inquest Will be held to-mor row
.nolning az ~ o CLOCK ana probably the
jury will demand post mortem examina-
ton, although such course seems I'M
necessary IN view of the statements of the
doctor and the woman herself just prior
to her death.
