THE CLARK CASE.

Arguments Were Closed Yesterday and
tho Case Goes to tho Federal Jury at
Columbus to-day.
Yesterday almost the entire day in
the United sSltes court at Columbus
was taken up with the arguments In
the Harry Clarke case. At 3 o'clock
court was adjourned in order to give
Judge Hammond time to prepare his
charge to the jury.
The principal argument which the
defense advanced was that Of mIsta-
ken intentions. Ciarke's counsel III
lowed that, while the alterations had
been made on the books, they had not
been made with Intentions to either de-
ceive or. defraud. They argued that
the figures on the books were q matter
OF bookkeeping and that every entry
represented business transaction.
All this and much more was argued by
Judge Driggs. He made q strong plea
for Clarke ON sympathetic grounds,
telling OF the mans family relations
and OF the good reputation which he
had always borne up to the time OF the
present. trouble.
\ When Mr.. Bundy closed the argu-
ments for the prosecution, he made a
cold and concise statement Of the al
legged crime and Interpreted to the jury
the law on the subject. He said that
sympathy had nothing whatever to do
with this case and the duty OF the Jury
was only to Judge from the evidence
presented as to the guilt Of the pris-
Oner.
The case will go to the jury Wednes-
day morning.

Yesterday.
THE SECOND IN REVIEW
THE BOYS MAKE A SOLDIERLY
APPEARANCE.
THE FIELD OFFICERS REVIEW THEM
The Battalion Adjutants Inspected all the Com.
panies and Found Everything in Good
Shape Notes and Incidents
at the Camp.

Yesterday was inspection and review
day for the Second regiment and it was
one of the busiest days the regiment has
had During the day every company and
company's quarters We're inspected by
the battalion officers and the reports
showed the camp in fine condition.
Instead of the afternoon drills or dress
parade there was a review parade of the
entire regiment. The battalions formed
and were reviewed by Col. Burgwyn and
his staff: each field officer mounted on
handsome and spirited charges. The en-
tire regiment then marched in review
headed by the regiment band. The drill
and parade was very imposing and was
greatly enjoyed by the visitors present.
These Second regiment boys are rapidly
becoming well drilled and well dis
ciplned soldiers and there is marked i'm
provement every day in the appearance
they make.
A large number of new Springfield RI
fles arrived yesterday and by tomorrow
afternoon every man in camp will per-
haps be furnished with a gun.
