Deputy Attorney General Cooper,
III opening tor the State said that

laws you appreciate, and the life OF
this young man. Never III his lite

VlndictlVeness. The defense opened
with a pretense, subterfuge and
II was crossing the last ditch. The
elate don ask Tor this young man S
lie Tor his reformation. We pity
him. OF course, but the lawlcss peo-
pie OF TINS State must know that her
laws are always to be indicated.
1t Is the experience OF man and the
history OF the world, that capital
punishment is the only thing to de-
ter the act OF murder. 1t is the
only thing to protect the lives OF the
citizens and promote peace in the
community. This murder was just
as deliberate as where the assassin
comes IN the window. Here he re-
viewed the relations between Cole
ana Edna wilson. Here is young
man, hundreds OF miles away from
home, In strangec ty, without re-
stralnt, and woman of the world.
Then we have that woman here and

Edna's bed waiting for her to re-
turn. If Cole had slain Montague
right there, it might have been some-
thing else than murder.
Then we have Cole in Philadel-
phla with 4 headache. If the de-
tense clings to headaches as signs
OF insanity, then there is scarcely
man in this court room who has
not been insane. We have Cole and
Barrlelcau in Wilmington. They
didn't come here to see Edna and
yet they went in search of her the
first thing. Not one case in ten
thousand has there been expressed
malice so clearly shown as in this
case. We have the expressions of
anger and revenge, as Cole and
Moore walked along the street and
met Edna and Montague. There
Was pause and Moore heard a
crash. He looked around and saw
Cole, with as cold and deliberate
heart as was ever in man, fell
Montague and deal him blows over
the head. Think of It. Delibera-
ton. Did you ever see lite t..ken
with such deliberation and revenge?
