gentlemen OF the jury, you know, for

falsehood. You know that the whole
story OF that seven thousand dollars
and the. $500 preceding it is the rank

earthly temple of justice. You know
1t. He didn't have it. Why, what
fairy tale this young Goodale tells,
This money belt! This counting of the
money In Chicago. The place where
ne had got the money, All his fortune

Cling. Miss Cling was to take this
money for the purpose of in

goods. After that stock should
be purchased she would give him
a chattel mortgage. I don't know

Why. wouldn't ordinary horse sense,

dictated that he say to her: "Why.
Mis- Cling, I will go with you East. and
L will buy the stock and you can go
in and operate the business; 1 will hold
title to the stock, and you can pay me
as fast as. you are a mind to-" Would
mt that have been common sense?
Wouldn't that have been just? At
least, couldn't he have said to her:
Il will arrange the matter in such
way that when the stock is turned
over to you I will at least get chat
tel mortgage on it?" But no; this
woman, of whom he talks about her
sagacity, was going into business.
Now, he knew she had become,
through his machina tons, infatuated
with gambling. The testimony of this
woman, the trance medium, shows that
that continued and was in force on the
24th day Of November, as much as it
ever was. He himself had led that girl
into the channels of gambling until she
had become absolutely unsafe as a
business woman, as much as a man.
Go through all the commercial world,
the business world, and if there is one
thing that renders unsafe a man or
woman, it is the habit of gambling.
The employee, the clerk, the account
ant, any one is discharged from any
commercial house at once, as soon as
1t is learned that he is a gambler. Be-
cause 1t is eminently dangerous, and
strikes at the very roots of all sound
business, and yet, knowing the poison
of that fascination upon her, he would
have you believe that, having already
loaned her $500, he was to loan her
$1,000 more.
The court here took recess until 2
o'clock.
