sTREETER ARGUMENTS.
MIR. Lancaster and Mr.. Nye Talk
to the Jury,

The opposing attorneys in the Streeter
case made their arguments yesterday to
the jury. Attorney Lancaster opened
the argument for the defense and made
an able address. There was no doubt,
he said, OF the innocence of Mr..
Streeter and of the guilt of Menage.
The latter was the one vino should be
prosecuted, and not the man who had
acted honestly and iudiciOusly and for
the company's good. MIR. Lancaster
pitched into A E. Fletcher, and stated
that he went OH the stand with malice
i'll his heart, and the attorney fatty de-
clared that he gave false testimony
against Streeter so that the report
would go East and make people believe
that Fletcher had nothing to do with the
affair."" Mr.. Fletcher was the meanest
and blackest of the whole lot of wit
nesSeS in the case. aud he volunteered
testimony that was absolutely false.
Mr.. Fletcher would send his lifelong
friend to the penitentiary TO make him.
self right with his Vermont friends, to
whain-he sold Guaranty Loan paper.
During his atfdress Mr. Lancaster, in
referring to the witnesses and their
testimony, asked:
'Where was Thomas Lowry, who
was vice president of the Guaranty
Loan company and director since
1887? Why wasn't he called to the
stand?"
''He was in Washington remarked

ter with considerable warmth. HE

saw him. / know it,"
After carefully reviewing the case
and showing why it was absurd to
charge MIR. Streeter with embezzlement.
he said:
"Then were all these officers in con-
spiracy to rob the company? l say that
IT Mr.. Streeter is convicted, then Mr..
Cole, MIR. Robertson, Mr.. Percival and
Mr.. Houghton should be sent to prison
too. But there was no conspiracy. and
these men were acting, as Mi. Stree,er
was. in perfect. GOOD faith with the
company"
MIR. Lanchaster maintained that if Mr..
Streeter was sent to prison his health
would never permit him to return. At
this point in his address Mrs. Streeter
aud his sister burst into Sobs. County
Attorney Nye, who delivered the states
argument, held that there was no doubt
as to the defendants guilt, and Men,
age had criminally disslpated the COM
pany funds, assisted by Streeter.
Streeter was in charge of the companys
affairs large portion OF the time, and
1t was not reasonable to even suppose
he did not know how matters were 10.
ing.
If Streeter was not guilty. Mr.. Nye
said, Nenage was innocent. They were
greatly to blame for what had trans
pired and should be made to suffer for
it. Mir. Nye made a very capable
speech. in which he gave brief and
lucid resume of the evidence in the
case.
Today the case will go to the jury.

RELIEF :I: ONLY ' u \! DEATH.
NATHANIEL G. LEich TOW SHOOTS
HIMSELF THROUGH THE HEART.
HE WAS EXTREMELY ILL.

Great Suffering From Kidney Dis
case Caused the Old Resident
to Commit suicide = Could
Stand the Pain No Longer
Died in a Bath Room-A Brief
History of Deceased.
Another suicide has been added to
the already long list. The latest name
to go on the calendar Is that of Nathaniel
g. Leighton. the well known lumber
man OF this city, whose residence in the
Northwest has extended over great
many years. He shot himself through
the heart yesterday morning. Shortly
after o'clock he was heard to rise
from his bed and go into the bath room.
He closed the door and moment later
the sharp sound nf a pistol shot rang
through the house. Owing to the almost
heavy quiet of the early morning, the
sound penetrated to every room, and
the occupants assembled as though by
concerted movement at the bath room.
The door was burst open and Mr.. Leigh
tor was discovered lying there dead.
The Leighton residence is at 2ll4
Blaisdell avenue. Mrs. leighton was
not at home when the tragedy occurred.
Several days ago she went to Osceola,
Wis.,, to visit relatives. She returned
last evening, having been telegraphed
to come.
For number of years deceased had
been sufferer from kidney disease, and
for the past few weeks had suffered in.
tense agony. Thursday night he was
taken with spasin. and suffered great
pain. 1t was this that drove him to
commit suicide. He stated during the
evening before that he could stand the
pain no longer. and that something
would have to be done to relieve him.
He evidently came to the conclusion
that death was the only sure relief, and
so shot himself.
MIR. Leighton came to Minneapolis
from Maine in 1855. and soon Became
interested in the logging and lumber
business, with which he has been act
lively identified ever since He was at
one time in business with ex-Ald. Bar
rows. In 1850 he built the Diamond
mill on Plymouth avenue. Within the
past year he has been president of the
Illden Heater and Closet company. A
short time ago he retired from active
business. He was nearly sixty years of
age. He leaves two sons, one of whom
resides In Minneapolis, and daughter,
Mrs. Ladd, of Osceola. Deceased was
financially independent.
