Closing Hours of the Great Trial.

Closing Hours of the Great Trial.
UNION. Mo. Feb. I'm the trial of
Arthur DueStrow for the murder of
his wife and baby, Judge Hirzel's fight
for the conclusion of the case by Sat
urday night was a hard one. Every
step of the way was fought. The
judge, however, was firm, and insisted
on the conclusion Of testimony by FRI
day night. He was ready, if the need
had arisen, to have held an all-night
session.
The arguments began at eight
o'clock a. M. yesterday, Prosecuting
Attorney Bolte opening for the state.
The arguments were to continue Is
hours, the state to use six and vOlun-
tarily conceding seven to the defense.
Some time was lost in the morning in
assembling court, and more was lost
similarly at night. For this reason
the case did not go the jury until ii
O'clOcb last night.
Neither the state o the defense al
lotted the time at its disposal to its
speakers. Each person was allowed,
within limits, to use what in his dis
erection the circumstances warranted.
The effort of all the earlier speakers
was to leave as much time as possible
to the use of the heavy-weights who
were to put the concluding touches on
the great case.
The order of speakers was Bo!te,
holland, Gallenkamp, Booth, Dryden,
MeriweatEer, Johnson and Zachritz.
1t was just IL o'clock last night when
Judge Hirzel gave the case to the
twelve jurors chosen to find a verdict.
The night hours in court had beea
very w~earying, the only diversion ia
the dreary closing of the trial of the
double murderer were the vigorous
protests of the defendants attorneys
against the bitter arraignment of the
maj on trial for the Staying of his wife
and only child.
Attorney Merriwether presented the
states case with such earnestnesS that
Attorney Dryden tried to break its eff
feet upon the jury by Directing to NJ.
Merriwether's language.
Another memorable scene was the
tear-shedding by Duestrow when Mer-
riwether directed the jurors to the
graveyard and pointed out the granite
monument hat marked the resting
place of the murdered wife and little
Louis. For the first time DueStrow ex-
hi5ited unmiStakable evidence OF his
sanity. and full knowledge of the teag-
edy enacted by him in the family home
when bullets from his revolver took
the life of his wife and child.
Circuit Attorney Zachritz closed
with an address to the jury that called
for a verdict OF willful murder against
Duestrow. Tie little attorney WIS at
his best, and the states case was left
in the hands of the jury in the clearest
possible
