NEARING A CLOSE.

The Case WIN Be Submltted for Eisal ves.
dict Saturday-Jury viii Visit the
Sceae Of the Tragedy To-Day.

The public has taken more than
passing interest IN the Goddard case
this week. The testimony Of the de-
Tense has been In some instances very
favorable to the defendant. The
theory Of self defense has been set up
and fairly well established by chain Of
evidence. The theory Is that 6Iers went
to the Shlssler ranch on the morning
If May 10Th for the express purpose Of
bringing about an alteration. This
theory is established by the evidence
of Mn. Ward and little Fred. Cod
dard. A number of other witnesses
were introduced to strengthen the posi-.
lions taken by the above named in
terested parties. The case hangs upon
this p.'int. The prosecution coinbated
every statement Of the witnesses for
that defense which was intended to
prove the theory Of the self defense.
The question will 70 to the jury with
many contradictions pro and con.
The evidence was concluded yesterday
evening and the jury will visit the
Shissler ranch to day. On Friday the
attorneys will begin the addresses to
the jury. The order will probably be.
Mr.. McNamee Friday morning follow
ed by Mr.. Reid. Mr.. Griffitts will
probably speak Saturday morning, fol.
lowed by Judge Claggett Saturday
afternoon. 1t Is believed the case will
20 to the jury Saturday night.
The Goddard case has been hard
and even battle for twenty days. The
intelligent public has not demonstra-
ted any interest IN the progress OF the
trial, but the addresses of the at
torneys are awaited with suspense.
The interest in the outcome Of the
case has never abated, but the facts
are SO well known that no interest In
the details of the evidence has been
manifest during the progress Of the
trial.
