slo7o of the banks money by It's teller. VILLA

the Jury disagreed Now then the principal
witness against him Boggs
Interest IN the proceedings has been intense from
start to finish. and citizens from all parts OF the
State have been constantly In attendance Senator
Kenney has borne the ordeal with much fortitude
although during the District-Attorneys scathing
arraisnment OF him to-day he seemed to vince
Throughout the Judges charge he listened intent
ly and appeared relieved when the jury left the
room 10 deliberate After the summing up by both
sides Judge Bradford reviewed the law and ex-
planned Its meaning to the jury. especially az to
intent. Referring TO Boeess testimony and the
banks books. and remarking that Boggs's cred-
bity rested with the Jury. he said: TT would he
very far from your duty n, disregardng what may
seem 70 you natural and inherently truthful test-
mony given by him. you should permit yourselves
heated language and by excited and unwarranted
epithets applied TO him" He said that the
contrary his testimony should he carefully con-
sidered scanned and weighed.
Touching again the testimony OF Boggs. he
said: 1T is proper to call your attention TO the
fact that he has been supported in statements
made by him on the witness-stand. not only by
documentary evidence. but by the testimony Of
witnesses on matters material to the case
He revewe ed the relations existing between Boggs
and Kenney indicated by the testimony. and

His testimony is before you. and you must

be considered by you In weighing his evidence and
in determining how far and to what extent. If at
all II Is worthy to credit. Where witness has
direct personal interest In the result OF case the
temptation is strong to color, pervert or withhold
the facts
After further caution To give the prisoner me
benefit OF any reasonable doubt. but first to be
sure that II was doubt born Of reason the Judge
finished and the Jury retired
