THE LATTIMER MURDER TRIAL
SHERIFF MARTINS CASE IN TIE
HANDS OF JURY.
Judge woodward's Charge Favorable
to Acquittal-only One Point
Named to Establish Guilt.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. March S.-The court
room wcs crowded today when ex-
States Attorney General Palmer began
his argument for the defense in the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies.
Mr. Palmer said there were three prop
ositions in this case: First, that there
was rioting in and around Hazelton
from the 3rd to the 10th of last Sep
TENDER; second, that Sheriff Martin was
called TO Hazelton to suppress this riot
ing; third, that the mob which marched
to Lattimer was riotous, lawbreaking
and disorderly."
He argued that if the jury believed
the sheriff had given, by direct COM
mand OF previous instruction, the order
to fire, then the deputies could not be
found guilty of any crime, as they
obeyed the order of their superior Of
ficer. who was the supreme power at
the time. He said:
IF -or frd that the strikers were
riOtoUs; that they refused to obey the
orders of the sheriff; that the sheriff S
lie or the deputies lives We're in dan
'ger, then the shooting was justified, and
neither the sheriff nor the deputies can
be held"
District Attorney Martin made an adj
dress to the jury soon after 4 o'clock
After reviewing the conditions prevail
ing in the region previous to the con-
fiicts at Lattimsr, Judge Woodford took
up the incidents Immediately preceding
the shooting. He said it was certainly
sure that the great body of strikers
failed to obey the sheriff when he or
dered them to disperse, and insisted on
pushing on. Nor could il be doubted
he said. that the sheriff had the lawful
right to issue the order, and if it was
the right of the sheriff to command the
crowd TO dispense, then it was the duty
of the crowd to obey his command.
IF the sheriff orders me to stop and
1 proceed. l do so at my peril" said
the judge. THE sheriff's duty
is to preserve order, and not to OBJ
serve it, it would follow that the in
tended object was not a criminal or
unlawful one
In conclusion the judge stated that
the most, if not the only material ques-
lions for the jury 10 decide were, first,
rounded the sheriff after his effort to
arrest one of the strikers, and. second
as to the firing, whether it was con-
tinued after the ranks of the strikers
had broken and they were in retreat, or
whether it ceased when the volley was
fired. 1t was a question whether the
men shot in the back received their
wounds while running away or while
they surrounded the sheriff with their
backs toward his posse.
The settlement of these disputed
points. the court instructed, might be
important as bearing upon the ques-
ton whether the posse comitature, O. ig-
inally a legally constituted body, did
not become an unlawful assemblage By
reason of any subsequent determine
ton to disregard the law and commit
crimes.
The jury then retired to deliberate
At Q o'clock the jury, not having re-
ported, Judge Woodward adjourned
court until tomorrow morning.

Il am directly authorized by Senior
Gullon, the minister of foreign affairs,
to deny that any demand or request
has ever been made for the recall of
Consul General Lee, and it is unfortu-
nate and misleading for the reports to
be printed that Spain has withdrawn

made. The entire matter appears to
have arisen out.of some suggestion as
