THREE SIDED DEFENSE.

The defense is of three sided char
acter. It is alleged that the action
against Green was actuated by spite
because OF some trouble he had with
the Jones'; that the real offender is n
16-year-old boy. Eugene Sullivan, a
neighbor of the Jones, with whom the
girl has been on intimate terms for a
year past: that Green's condition is
such that he could not have commit
ted the offense charged.
One of the witnesses called by the de-
fense was young Sullivan, who refused
to answer questions asked by Mr..
Scregg concerning his relations with
the girl on the ground that he might
criminate himself.

for his theme Virtue, Mercy, Charity"
the watchwords of the Royal Arcanum
and about them built one of the very
best speeches he has yet been heard to
deliver. In substance he sald:
MR.. COLBORNs SPEECH.
Strange indeed has been the way in
which man has trodden in his march to
the front in all manly achievements;
stranger still has been his exodus from
the bondage of oppression, ignorance
and superstition, and his desert wan
dering toward the Canaan of enfran-
chised humanity. He has not yet en-
tered that land, but he is so near its
borders that, standing on the mountain
top of expectant vision, he can trace it's
landscapes of marvellous beauty, and
exult in the prospect which stretches
before him. Nay, more. His adveu-
turous spies have crossed over and
brought back some of the fruits which
grow in fertile soil. There have been
seas and deserts to cross in the march,
but there have also been the smitten-
rock and the heaven sent mama. There
have been valleys of shadows, but also
peaks of cheering outlook, occasional de-
feats and retreats, but steady and
glorious progress has ever been made.
How dark the period of human his
tory when, impelled by the fierceness of
his own nature or the force of circum-
stances, every man was an Ishmaelite;
his hand against every man and every
mans hand against him. 1t was an era
or robbery and cruelty. The City of
Refuge was the only shelter from the
hot anger of the blood avenger. The
spear of Goliath and the club of Her.
cules were symbols of the power most
generally recognized ard respected
among men. The brigand of the noun
tain took lawless tribute from the toll
ers of the plain. Booty was cause for
war, and victory was license for every
cruelty. Violence ruled in the earth,
and pity was not yet born. Virtue,
mercy and charity We're unknown. An
other impulse. after years of darkness,
acted upon the hearts and minds of
men. Social institutions and personal
aspirations began so to change that the
world recognizing a new birth of fine,
revised its chronology, and no longer
counted lts years ammo mundi, but
made ammo domini the beginning of its
dates.
