not to entftle them &c the belief Of any
one. The discrepancies in their teSti-
mony were pointed out. Long, counsel
called rascal Of the lowest and worst
type. and Graham, the magnificent
Grahaml His tale was such that no.
thing that Baron Munchausen has left
US in his wonderful book of tales.
Testimony like his does not come I'M
less some oue has gone down in his
pocket and shaken some money under
his nose. Kearns did put up you know.
Why did he put up If he had any con-
ffdence in the justice OF his case?
Counsel said it was very easy for
counsel on the other side TO come with
Kearns' money in their pockets. They
could get witnesses from anywhere
and everywhere, but contrary 10 the
statements of counsel for the defense,
there was nobody behind Miss Wray.
If there were she could have brought
witnesses from Park City and from
Heber, witnesses who were really
needed.
Mr.. Zane accused the defense with
eracing the name Of Miss Ray" from
the Cullen register and hiding the
cash book which was lost for long
time, but fortunately turned up With
the register changed and the casa
book gone they were safe. Wins3ow,
who is now dead, had a hand in that,
but he is dead and we Will say noth-
ing but good of the dead. But
Kearns and his attorneys can never
change the fact proven by those books
that Miss Wray was at the Cullen
hotel on that night. Ke2rns may rain
double eagles into the pockets Of his
counsel and Yarian may proclaim in
Stentorian tones or rather in his nasel
yell, but they cannot alter that fact.
Counsel argued that, the alibi was
only supported by Weber's testimony.
He was the only one. besides Kearns
who testified as to Kearns' doings and
whereabouts after they left the theatre
on that night. Weber was absolutely
dependent on Kearns and even if
Weber mad the most honest motives he
could not know what kearns was do
ing While he (WebeF) was asleep.
The actions oftI4obbsr and Miss Wray
in Colorado were characterized as not
worse than those of Kearns, who
counsel said, instigated Hobbs and the
girl to go away and paid Hobbs to
take her away. Counsel then made a
plea for the baby 1t, although d child
of sin, is a sinless child, and ought to
be provided for.
The prosection of Hobbs on the black
mailing charge was brought in and
counsel declared that it was a scheme
to get Hobbs in the penitentiary- 1t
missed fire. however. and KeaTns in
this case has missed again, declared
counsel.
In conclusion Mr. zane said there is
q special providence which watches
over the defens4less. II is as true now
as it was 5000 years ago when the
psalmist away in Palestine under the
ancient cedars wrote Il have been
young. and now am old, yet have I
never seen the seed of the righteous
begging for bread" The :. mighty
sits behind the clouds and the darkness
and in a mysterious way orders it so
that truth shah prevail and that the
weak and the defenseless shall be pro-
tected. In this case everything has
been done for the defendant that
money and influence could command.
He has done his utmost to blast the
reputation of this poor girl he has
brought every perJurer he could get to
come and belch forth his venom on her
and yet her reputation stands as never
having been ruined until it was ruined
by that man KearnS. This poor girl
has been ruined and betrayed. God
only knows what she has suffered and
every tear which ran down her cheeks
was placed there by Kearns. Every
man and woman of decency in the
community rises up and demands that
justice be done. We ask for justice,
simple justice, nothing but justice.
