THE ARsuMENrs OF COUNSEL

Lasting. with Rscessos, From Ton In the
Morning Until Nine at Nigh.
The arguments in the case began at the
opening Of court 81 ten o'clock in the
morning and closed at quarter TO nine ai
night Counting the noon recess and that
for suppeT this meant six hours Of talking.
Leon A. LaCroix opsned for the state. be
claimed that the killing was without prov
ocation or Justification. ana thai the plea
OF insanity was not sustained By the testi-
mony. which showed that BslLnak commit
ted the crime while under the influence Of
liquor snd aetuated by msleyolence. Judge
J. NJ. Clements opened fer the defense. He
eontended that the trouble grew out OF the
row al she dance. when Bslunsk was IN
justly attacked; and that Daniels intende ed
20 kill Beiunak, who killed him in self
defense. he claimed that the insanity Of
the prisoner was proved, both by other ties
timOny and By the actions OF the man after
the shooting. Belunak's insanity WAS OF =
siumbsrinR form. and when the right but
ten was touched his mind became de-
ranged. In conclusion be claimed that
the highest degree Of crime that could be-
found under the circumstances was man
slaughter. II. X. Purssll followed for the
defense. He claimed that BelunAk should
be on trial for bis sanity. as be was either
q maniac or an idiot. De did not ask for
an acquittal. but coRtsndsd that after a
short confinement In the penitsntiaFv he
should be sent 20 an insane asylum. Under
all the circumstances OF the case the jury
could never fad Belunak guilty Of murder
IN the hFat degree. County Attorney Nolan,
In closing fer the state, argued for the ex-
IRENE penalty on she ground that 10 was
deliberate and premeditstsd murder lie
claimed that Belunsk had all his reasoning
faculties, and that crahks could not escape
She Tesult Of their crimes because thew had
dslusions. II the jury did their duty the
race Of oranks Would end.

HUGHES CAUGHT ON BEHIND.
'oliceman's Clever Capture Of an
Alleged Horse Thief
The Bluecoat Also Had to Stop the
Runaway Horse.

Policeman William Hughes. Of the
Vernon avenue station, Williamsburg,
made a clever capture this morning.
He was walking along Broadway when
he saw a fine light wagon, drawn by a
bay horse, go past him. Hughes
thought the rig answered the descrip-
tion of one that had been stolen from
Joseph Greenberg. Of 10 Broadway, SO
he called upon the driver to stop.
Instead OF doing SO the driver lashed
his horse and went down Broadway on
the dead run. Hughes grabbed the tai!
struggle, managed to Chamber inside.
AS ne did so the driver, Henry Brewer,
struck at him with the butt end OF his
whip but Hughes parried the blow.
closed with the man and the two had
very lively fight while the horse was
going at top speed.
II the fight had been continued few
minutes longer 1t Is probable that both
men would have been. thrown out and an,
killed. Hughes subdued his man finally
and then had v hard time In quieting the

BROOKLYN NEWS.
AFTER CITY OFFICIALS.
Law and Order League Members
Before the Grand Jury.
Presentment, at Least, Expected by
Brooklyn Reformers.

1t was rumored this morning that the
Law and Order League Of Brooklyn
would attempt to get the Grand Jury to
take some action against certain city
officials for their alleged neglect in en-
forcing the Excise law.
The rumor undoubtedly arose from the
fact that several members of the
League went before the Grand Jury yes
terday and swore to certain alleged vlo-
lations of the law.
1t was said this morning that among
the witnesses examined were Freeborn
Garretson Smith, Rev. /. K. Funk and
several amateur detectives.
Some of these witnesses told OF visits
they had made to certain saloons on
various Sundays. and declared that the
police made no attempt to enforce the
liquor laws.
The members of the League were un-
certain as 10 what they wanted the
Grand Jury to do in the matter. The
Grand Jury. promised to. consider the
allegations laid before them, and the
subject may be touched upon in pre-
sentiment next Friday.
The members of the League will prob
ably give further evidence tomorrow.

Simmons
They Immediately turned in an alarm
and then turned into the hallway and en-
deavored to enter. The flames and smoke

Policeman Simmons had more difficulty

HABITUAL CRIMINALS.

In the last report OF the Prison Com

hab!tual criminals make excellent pris-
oners; II Is only when restored to their
liberty that they fall" 1t would be little
short of remarkable II they did not, says
The Contemporary Review.
In spite OF the efforts OF philanthro-
pists, the difficulties In the way of their
finding honest employment are, naturally
enough, immense. on the other hand,

old habit and from the influence. OF for.

overmaster a stronger power of volition
than that which they can' as rule OPP

II remember while visiting, some years
ago. the great prison at Dartmoor, now
much / was impressed by what the eX-
cellent Catholic chaplain there-now
dead-told me OF his painful experience
In this matter. He observed: 1t Is hap
piness to me when any Of these poor fell
lows die here; they make a good end. II
they went back to the world they would
almost for certain, live badly and die
badly
Il add that the perpetual seclusIon of
habitual offenders Is justly due to the
community. 1t has been well remarked:
we pay enormous sums for police to

rob and murder; and other immense sums
