al am not here to seek any one to come
to us. We are all volunteers, and who
comes must come OF his own accord and
through his own convictions. No under

our intention to draw from the old organi-
cation, but to recruit from the wide field
before US.
II am very sorry that misrepresent ia
tons should have been made regarding
our cause and regarding Commander and
Mrs. Booth. If you believed all that has
been said you would certainly think they
have degenerated and fallen from grace.

cate them before the American people.
The commanders course has not been
actuated by selfish motives or by personal
ambition.

surprise and sorrow to the commander
and his wife. But it is false and untrue.

Dunno bitterly attacked the testimony of
both Dean and McClosker and accused
them of periuring themselves on numer-
GUS occasions. His opinion of the prose-
cution's witnesses is best expressed in the
following doggerel, which he delivered
during his remarks:

II swear he WASH in the show.
Then he will swear, when he is free,
That he was mixed up in forgery.
i IL take the stand and swear the same,
And that will be our little game.
You needn't fear, Pm pretty cute,

And GREGG and Becker'll cross the bay.

ney Black will close the arguments and
