NIB. BATES CONCLUDES HIs PLEA

Aud Ex-senator Higgins Begins His Ad-
dress TO the JurS-He WIN Finish This
Afternoon and the Irrepressibis Levi
WIN Proceed to Dissect Him.
The opening argument for the plaintiff
was made by Senator Gray yesterday
afternoon in the damage case OF Martin
G. Huber vs.. the Jackson and Sharp
Company He made an able review Of
the testimony and pleaded eloquently on
behalf OF his client He ei,sed abont an
hour before court adiouraed and Hon.
George A Bates began cumming up for
the defense. He closed at ii 80 this
morning.
In his argument Mr. Bates took the
ground that although the h0or on which
Huber worked was ehaky, the plaintiffs
previous knowledge Of it's defective
condition was sufficient to have
prevented an accident II thu workman
were as careful as he should have
been, and that therefore the accident
was the result OF Hnbers own careless
ness. As an additional evidence Of this
he referred to the piece OF wood on which
Huber was working at the time OF the
accident, and which he showed, was
''rifilsd" In the manner described by
/ Huber himself rs the result OF careless
work.
In reference to certain contradictions
to Huber's testimony, Mr.. Bates said
that while be did not care to accuse the
plaintiff OF wilful falsehood, II was a
well-known fact that the mind of an
interested witness Is unconsciously
affected by his purpose or desire,
especially with reference to events which
happened some years previously
Mr.. Bates followed up review OF the
testimony by .impngning the character OF
the witnesses for the plaintiff In concln,
sion he insisted that the plaintiff bad
entirely failed to show negligence on the
part OF the corporation, and
that the defense, on the contrary,
had plainly and ineontrovertibly
shown that Huber was guilty Of negli
genoe aud that his injury was the direct
result OF his own failure TO observe
proper precautions He said that II such
q condition of affairs existed rs wac
