the sun Of June 10, 1898. Mr.. Ewell?"
asked MIR. Vandegrift, handing him
paper.
yes" was the reply, and the paper
was then admitted in evidence.
Mr.. Yandegrift here asked permission
to retire for a few minutes. It was
granted, and when he returned he said
that he would like to offer In evidence
schedule to be prepared by Expert
Accountant Ross, Of all checks over
drafts etc, but did not see how It
could be done.
Judge Bradford stated that he would
like very much to have such a schedule,
but he did not see his way clear to or
der it done.
MY friend, Mr.. Bird, said he would
agree to anything, and perhaps he
would agree to that" said Mr.. Vande-
grlft."

reasonably sane man might offer,"
laughingly responded Mr. Bird. "But I
can't agree to that"
The government here closed, and
Senator Gray, before calling the wit
nesses for the defence, made an ad-
dress to the jury. He said in part:
Gentlemen of the Jury: 1t Is doubt
ful If ever it was your duty to be con-
cerned in case like this. A case so
full OF interest, so full OF features
which appeal from one mans heart to
another's. / do not say this because
have any apprehension as to the result
Of this case where your fellow-citizen
and mine, your neighbor and mine,
stands charged with an offense so helm
Ous that to him the result would be
more serious, were conviction possible
than were he charged with the COM
mission Of a capital offense where his
life would be the forfeit. 1t is the
gravity Of the charge and not the grav-
ity Of the case which disturbs me and
makes me feel the responsibility which
/ my friend and neighbor has placed
upon my colleague and myself when h
called us into this case.
'Was it not expected that we shoul,
submit some evidence in reply to tn
charges which have been made W
would be willing to leave the case L
I you gentlemen now, feeling sure tina
S as honest and fair-minded men yo
could find nothing which would wal
rant you in convicting your fellow
d citizen Of the offense with which he
charged. / am confident what your an
swer would be, and am sure you woul
Is say that no evidence has been produce
which would connect him with tn
case"
