arguments had been made on
the part of the respective counsel.

lowed in order by William McEniry
and Maj. j. NJ. Beardsley FOR the de-
Tense. Mir. Scarlc then made the
closing address 10 the jury for the
state. The arguments were all ex-
haustivc. earnest and able, the attor-
neys acquitting themselves with
credit. Judge Glenn delivered his
instructions to the jury and the

often told and has been brought out
in such Of tho evidence as was sub
mit,cd in the trial the past week.
Suffice il to say, the case was one
Of the hardest fought that has ever
appeared in the annals of criminal
procedure in the Rock Island county
courts. and the least that can be said.
and this without any disparagcment
of the state. is that the attorneys
for the defense have earned large
measure OF gratitude on the part OF
their clients.
