THE ATTACKS NOT TRUE.
.


The truth is that these efforts TO set Mr.. Platt
In a wrong light before the people, TO represent
him as a vulgar political boss and the party as
controlled by his subservient henchmen are FOR the
sole purpose OF sowing discori in the Republican
ranks They are not fair and they are not true.
II is very easy TO make general allegations or
bossism But II there is foundation for complaint
in this direction there ought he evidence Ia es-

ii. u. Funk had charge of the great
er part Of examinations for the de-
Tense. Mr.. Funk proved himself a
close questioner and a most careful
and painstaking examiner in getting
the exact situations and that only from
the witnesses.
County Attorney Carpenter has been
in the court room during the whole
trial and has given constant advice
and assistance in the states side of the
case.
Col. Mackey, leading lawyer on the
defense, hailes from Sigourney. He
was a colonel in the army, and has
been eminently successful as Grim
inal lawyer. Heis quiet, but skillful
cross examiner, makes little noise and
gets results, as is the end sought after.
The defense has made a good record
in this case, and are on q good supreme
court footing in case defendant is
found guilty. In an appeal to the SUI
preme court the onlypoints decided are
the points in which it is claimed there
has been error below, and in matters
of admission of evidence the only
points that can be raised are those
which are objected to In the court be-
below. This is the reason for many
of the objections taken during the
course of the trial. No appeal can be
taken by the state which will effect
this defendant, in case he is acquitted
by the jury.
The pleadings in the case commenced
Wednesday morning, Mr.. Wonn speak
ing for the state. The attorney set
forth the states position in clear
mastery way and made deep impress
sion on the audience.
Mr.. Funk followed for the defense.
Mr.. Funk was at some disadvantage in
having not only the unpopular side of
case, but also having the many tedious
details of the lengthy testimony. His
plea nevertheless was strong one and
his efforts were appreciated among the
crowd of hearers.
This, Thursday morning, Col. Mackey
began his plea for the defendant. Col.
Mackey is most powerful speaker and
his eloquent plea for Mclaughlin is
keenly appreciated by all the spectators
familiar with court room oratory.
The case went to the jury at p. M,
today.
