The Davis Green Goods Case Will
Close This Morning.
The Davis green goods" case will
be given to the jury in the United
States district court this morning. The
testimony was all in by o'clock yester-
day, and the attorneys completed !heir
arguments before court adjourned.
Judge Nelson concluded not to give the
case TO the jury last night. however, so
he reserved his charge until this morn
ing. Yesterday was occupied by
hearing testimony for the defense, q
number of witnesses being examined,
and Davis himself going on the stand.
Davis testified that he and John Ross,
the man to whom the letters were all
addressed, were not one and the same
person, as the prosecution attempted to
prove, but that he was employed by
Ross. received and receipted for his
mail and knew nothing at all about the
nature of his business.
The prosecution had offered in evil
dence the book in which the registered
letters were receipted for, all the re-
ceiptS having been slgued John Ross,
per E. }. Davis" A note signed by
John Ross and made in favor of Davis
was also submitted to show that the
handwriting was all that of the same
person. But Davis denied that the
writing on the note was done by him.
A. B. Davis. John Moon, Patrick
Madigan and Howard Ramaley all tes-
titled to the identity Of John Ross. Mr..
Ramaley SAID, however, that he could
not swear positively that there was
such man as Ross, as he only knew
him from description given Of him.
Mr.. Ramaley, c. w. Farmer, Joe
FrenZel. w. II. Brill and E. j. Dar-
ragh testified to Davis good character
Their testimony went to show that he
had worked in some very good law Of
fees. and had always kept good COM
pany.
In his argument for the defense
Counselor McCafferty dwelt strongly
OH the fact that Davis associates had
always been respectable. United
States Attorney Stringer laid most
stress on the identity OF the signatures
on the registered letter receipts and the
writing on the note. He also brought
out some strong circumstantial points.
