THEIR INNING.

Washington May THE defense had
an inning in the trial of CoXey, Brown
and Jones for the Mayday demonstra-
tion. There was no denial or defense
for what the commonwealers had done.
The defense consists in the lawfulness
of their actions.
The trial will be concluded tomorrow.
Coxey's explanation of his plans for re-
deeming the government was the prin-
cipal feature of the days proceedings,
apart from the speeches by the law
yers 1t is apparent the case is being
tested on the broad ground of justifica-
ton for the Coxey movement, for the
assistants district attorney in his open
ing address, called Brown crank. and
did not hesitate to insinuate that Coxey
was a knave, while the opposing law
yers endeavored to make the trial ap-
pear a persecution by the plutocrats of
the people, and appealed to the ami
mostly against Wall street.

STOP 1T, sToP 1T.

A man with another style of slot
machine arrived in town yesterday and
started in business in one of our cigar
stores, and the attention OF the chief OF
police is called to 1t as the most seduc-
tive kindergarten for turning out gam
blers that ever struck the town. This
gambling device, which pays the player
five to one, is a comparatively new one

young men and boys, that there is
