remark reached Judge Wilson, and he
stopped forward from his chair. "What

"Thorc Is another court than this"

There was much talk Of q duel during
tho noon recess. Mr.. stoll said to tho
Associated Press reporter: "AIajor But.
terworth Is senior counsel OF the case
and has control Of it until It is finished.
Under his advice l shall do nothing.
After the case I am my own master.
Then l shall have my own innings. l
do not caro- TO cay what I shall do"
When court resumed, Mr.. Wilson
rose beside the witness box, and In his
usual calm tones began to speak.
"In tho heat OF this discussion, IN tho
presentation Of facts" he aaid, "coun-
sci may have conveyed impressions
that they did not intend. l had no
thought Of in%sinuating that Mr.. S.oll
had forged tho letter or had procuredit il.
/ had no intention to charge it upon
him or convey such an insinuation. I
wished more to show him how easy it
is for such things to appear.
I'm the part Of the case l now como
to I shall have occasion to mention Mr..
Stolls name again. l shall mention it
because it Ia apart OF the case. When
we become connected with II case We
caanot DO very well disassociated from
it in argument. What more can l do as
n lawyer and what less would Mr.. Stoll,
as a lawyer, have me do?"a
Thereupon Mr.. Wilson dropped into
his argument again. He did not men,
ton the name OF his opponent At once,
but discussed tho part played by the
volumes OF Washington Irving In the
case and the probabilities that Miss
Pollard had given birth to a child at
the Norwood convent, neal Cincinnati,
in 1855.
"rhis defendant comes before q Jury

Gentlemen, what arc you to do? We
cannot have any more OF those repara-
tions Of Absalom to Ammon. In those
days 1t would have been simple. In
these days the law has provided o
%iavelin, not the %javelin Of the servants
Of Absalom, but your verdict. By that,
this wrong is to be repaired, no other
way now. Before you the woman Gomez
as tho law says she shall. and what will
you do? Invite you as my last words
to impale him, hold him aloft, that the
world may be warned, and Justice will
cry amen and amen"
