QUARREL OVER THE "sTKAD"
New York's Famous Violin Still in Court
and Among Lawyers

| New York's Famous Violin Still in Court
and Among Lawyers
| New York, April 24.-The prosecution
| closed its case today in the trial OF
| Victor S. Fletcher for the alleged theft
| and subsequent concealment OF the
| Duke of Cambridge VIOLIN valuable
| Stradivarus owned by the late Prof
J. J. Bott. Owing to the large num-
Der Of delinquent jurors dealt with,
the case was not resumed yesterday az
| ternoon before Recorder Goh till late
in the day. David NJ. Carvalho and
DR.. P. Frazier Of the Franklin Insti-
tute of Philadelphia, two experts in
handwriting, testified that the anony-
nous offer TO return the stolen fiddle
and the notice offering a reward, con-
fessedly written by Fletcher, were in
the same handwriting. Both experts
were cross-examined at considerable
length by Fletcher's lawyer. who then
announced that he would produce wit
nesses for the defense today.
Arthur c. Palmer of counsel for the
defense before opening his side, made
six motions, TO limit the prosecution
TO one count of one indictment, to take
the case from the jury as unsubstantia-
ted, or TO direct that he would produce
his witnesses for the defense today.
Mr.. Palmer then addressed the jury.
He characterized the conduct Of the
prosecutor as that of a pettifogging
lawyer, while August Gemuender, the
expert on violins, according TO him, was
as big a liar and scoundrel as ever
went unhung" "Our judge, happily"
he continued, sis one who is, perhaps,
better qualified than any other man on
the bench to read the hearts of liars"
I0,T -.1 r9rAa-
thy for the misfortunes of Mrs. Bott,
as we'll as for those of Colonel Allen,
the original prosecutor in this case,
who is blind Were ii not for his
blindness, he declared, this able lawyer
who once prosecuted Tweed, would not
have descended TO so doubtful prose
cution. At this point Mr.. Palmer charg
ed his opponent with giving zone OF his
warm Southern looks" and Mr.. Os-
borne defied him to prove it, chal-
lenge which resulted in another of the
bitter quarrels between the counsel
which the Recorder has vainly tried 10
eliminate from the trial In the end,
when one lawyer advised the other TO
go and sit on the ice cooler or 10
put a muzzle on his mouth" the court
interfered with a reprimand for both
lawyers and with advice to the jury to
ignore all irrelevant matter"
Mr.. Palmer then concluded his speech
with the statement that the other side
had 'all its eggs in one basket" and
that this basket consisted Of the tissue
work of expert testimony. As soon
as such tetimony was received by the
courts as conclusive, he advised all
honest men to move out of the country.
He, Mr. Palmer, would show that the
fiddle found in the possession of the
accused instrument-dealer had been
from a man who was now being sued
in the civil courts because he had no
right to sell il, and that it was in a
no sense a Stradivarius. The fact that
it bore the ''Strad" label meant moth
ing; in the fiddle business in this city
"Strad'' labels were as thick as snow
flakes at Christmas.
