ARGUING THE CASE.
The Avant Trial Drawing Rap
idly to Close.
Mike Savage Opens the Argument For
the Prosecution-The Argument
By Other Lawyers To-day.

The defense introduced its last
witness in the Avant murder case
yesterday evening, and there was a
sigh of relief when Col. House said:
"We will quit" For eight long days
the jury has been hearing this testi-
mony. For the same length of time
have the lawyers been ably repre-
senting their respective sides, and
now it comes to the finish. Geo.
Avant has been faithfully and ably
defended. The State has also been
represented by some Of the ablest
lawyers in the country, and they
have left no stone unturned in their
efforts to faithfully uphold the majes-
ty OF the law, and if possible to fix
upon the defendant the guilt of the
crime with which he stands charged.
Mr.. Savage, for the prosecution,
opened the argument in the case
about 8 o'clock yesterday evening,
and the walls of the Montgomery
county courthouse have seldom, if
ever, echoed back stronger, more
able speech. Mr.. Savage spoke for
nearly two hours, going into the case,
analyzing the evidence and picturing
the gravity of the crime with a
vividness that held the large crowd
in the courtroom spell bound from
its initial sentence to its close. 1t
was great speech, many regarding
it, in their opinion, as the greatest
speech Mr.. Savage ever made before
jury.
Judge Jas. M. Quarles, at the as
sembling ofcourt this morning opened
the argument for the defense. He
made great speech for his client,
and was listened to with wrapt atten.
ton by large audience that assem-
bled at the court house early. Inter
est in the case does not lag, but seems
to increase with each session of the
court. All through the latter hours
of evidence-hearing the prisoners
sister occupied a chair by the side of
her brother and took much inter
est in everything going on. The
argument for the defense, the
LEAF-CHRoNICLE understands, will
be closed jointly by Col. House and
w. M. Daniel.
r. III. Burney will close for the
prosecution, probably tomorrow
afternoon and the case will go to the
jury. A verdict therefore ray be
expected Thursday morning.
There seems to be belief on the
part of many people who have heard
the testimony that Avant will be ac-
quilted, but this of course is mere
speculation, as the prosecution has
made out equally as strong a case, if
not stronger, than they did at the
other trial, when verdict of guilty
with mitigating circumstances was
returned.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK

two moods Jerry Simpson, of Kansas,
was exultant over his triumphant cleo
ton in spite OF the strongest kind of OPP
position and was figuring ON the trans
fer to the more sedate atmosphere of the
senate to be enjoyed with his friend
Peffer. Tom Watson, of Georgia, who
left here buoyant with anticipations of
reelection, came back deeply disap-
pointed to find that the object of
his sensational attack, Judge Cobb, of
Alabama, had pulled through while he
had been left behind, and that the Ala
bamlan now knew ''where he was at"
while the Georgian did not.
There was not full attendance of
the house-there seldom or never is
at the short session until after the
Christmas holidays. Many of the con-
gressmen, who have failed of renomina-
ton or reelection, and they are numer-
GUS in the present, naturally relax their
vigilance, especially as it is generally
understood that nothing but routine
work in committee on appropriation
bill will be attempted until Jan. /.
Consequently, many members wait
until after the holiday recess before
putting in an appearance.
At l2:40, unon motion of Mr.. Nc
MILAN, the house took a recess for
thirty minutes in order to give the COM
mittee appointed to wait upon the pres
ident opportunity to report.
When the house was again called to
order at 1:15 but few members were
present. The committee appointed to
wait upon the president had not re-
turned, and period of waiting fol-
lowed which was devoted to general
conversation upon the floor A COM
paratively small number of spectators
remained in the galleries.
At 35 the committee returned and
Mr.. Springer announced that the COM
mission with which those were charged
had been executed and that the presi-
dent would send a communication to
the house Tuesday.
At l 40 the house adjourned.

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold quicSly, it must
be treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. The first SYM
toms are a dry, loud cough and
sneezing. The cough is soon follow
ed by watery expectoration, and the
sneezing by profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe
cases there is thin white coating on
the tongue. What to do: 1t is only
necessary to take Chamberlain's
Cough remedy in double doses every
hour. That will greatly lessen the
severity of the cold and in many
cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been Sc
we're cold within one or two days
time. Try it and be convinced. SO
