CIVIL authorities
Automatic Witnesses Scored.
Upon the Pinkertors he was specially
severe, Jumping them as unreliable and dis
honest bv profession; "a detectives life is
lie, his conversation is a fraud, " he said.
Stewart, the clerk in the Carnegie employ
whose positive Identification of Critchlow
was the mainstay of the prosecutions case,
he compared to Blind Sans automaton
soldiers in Pittsburg's old Museum, to
which Rody Patterson was wont to compare
the policemen who were ready to swear to
anything or anybody at the most trifing
provocation. Reese dealt in pictures, not
facts, Mr.. Marshall said, in his swearing to
the identity of man of whom he got only
q glimpse On their side they had q dozen
witnesses who knew Critchlow we'll who
saw him at various other places at the time
he was alleged to have been shooting at the
Pinkertons.
Nh. Marshall paid his respects to the
Carnegie Company's interest in the case in
these words: 1.-The District Attorney Will
tell you that he doesn't represent Carnegie,
that he is not in communication with Cluny
Castle; that he has had no dealings with
Mr.. Lovejoy. But why did Brother Robb
say: Our clients do not dictate how this
case shall be run?' Who does Mr.. Robb
mean? The Commonwealth is the only
client recognize on the other side"
Mr.. Robb-I didn't say that or anything
like that.
Nh. Marshall-I do not accuse you Of
falsehood, Brother Robb; you are merely
forgetiul The truth will slip out. Why
this array OF learning and beauty behind
the District Attorney. Breck, Patterson,
with no hair where it ought to grow, and
Robb? You couldn't make me believe that
the Carnegie Company hadn't anything to
do with this case.
Names Out of Keeping.
''Then this man Lovejoy's name on the in.
formation, what does that show? It's not
the right name, but L wouldn't suggest for
worlds that it should be changed to Love.
Blood, or have the Love stricken altogether
out OF it. Several names connected with
the prosecution seem to be wrong-hItched.

Mr.. Marshall next turned to the clothing
worn by the defendant on July 6, and asked
whether it could be called dark in color as
the Commemorative witnesses described it.
He contended that nothing was easier than
to make a mistake in identity. Where was
the proof OF the common purpose to commit
murder among the Homestead men on July
6? If there was a reasonable doubt the de-
fendant must have the benefit of
it. 1t was not perhaps a ques-
tion between capital and labor. There
was not one capitalist in Allegheny county
who had begun life with fortune. 1t was
said to be great sin to import foreign iron
or steel, but it was all right to import Slavs,
Poles and Hungarians. Critchlow WIS to
be made a victim of this system. Gold.

Where wealth accumulates and men decayl
Mr.. Marshall shook up Jav Gould rs 6
representative evil product of the times,
and maintained that the man who produces
didn'tget the share of the country's wealth
lie ought to get. In conclusion he asked the
jury to review the case calmly and honestly
and stand by their right to render de
cislon.
