package was mailed this is circumstahtial eV-
! de- Rut when we come the letters. see the
! r,oss NJ testimony exactly alike, from the most
eminent experts the country affords. Now gentle
men OF the Jury, all we want is justice II we nave
| produced evidence sufficient to make you oehe'e
| Nolineux to be the guilty man. then we demand
| q verdict against him.
Coroner Hart then, IN a short address to the jury
! called attention TO some OF the inaccuracies IN
| colonel Gardeners summing up, and az the same

on the TACT that Cornish admitted that he was near
| The General Postohice the afternoon when the
