May IL please the court" hastily ex-
claimed Deuprey, 'ff that is the case
Will consult my learned friend Mr.. Black
ana perhaps we may agree to spare the
jury"
But Mr.. Black was adamant, and entered
upon bis opening argument without delay
MIR. Blacks argument took up the re-
mainder of the AFTERNOON. He recited the
whole circumstances surrounding the trag-
edy. according to the view of the prosecu-
tlon, and he asked for a verdict of guilty
on the evidence prescribed, reminding the
jury that in such a case all sentiment or
prejudice must be cast 10 the winds and
the case viewed upon its merits. He
showed that the main points presented by
the defense had not been borne out by
testimony. and he instanced in chief the
assertions made respecting the alleged ad-
yanceS of money hy the defendant to
Hagans As to the alleged violent assaults,
Mr.. Black asked the jury to regard hem
as purely imaginary, and instanced apart
from the absence of proof the mad, pas
sionate love of the defendant for Hagaus,
the proofs of which formed a part of the
defense.
Mr.. Black spoke clearly, concisely and
well, and at the close of his speech an ad-
JOurnment was taken until this morning
Mr.. Heyuemann will occupy The whole of
to-day's hearing with his argument for the
defense.
