Mr.. Registers Argument Thursday.

Mr.. Register began by reading the issues
and asking the jury to come back from
all side issues and follow him for a
while in the fundamental principles OF the
case. 1t was these. he said. that he
wanted to discuss and not rehash the
evidence. He thought the jury had "secn
about as much of this blue-backed pam
phlet' as it cared to. and had heard much
more of it than they cared to.
But it was not long before Mr.. Register
was in the midst of the Clark-Kilgo con-
troversy. which Will not down in this
case. He had not gone far before he.
like all who had spoken before him,
picked up the pamphlet. A juror smiled.
Mr.. Royster saw it and said: Pardon
me, gentlemen, I'll try to keep the back
from your view
Touching DR.. Kilgo's acts and words
at the close Of that fateful night, he
said:
Under similar circumstances, gentle
men, you or l would have done the same
or worse. And DR.. Kilgo is only a man,
like Uncontrolled by similar motives,
swayed by like passions
The speaker argued that there was no
malice either in DR., Kilgo's words or in
their publication. The publication, he

that Mr.. Gattis ever had that little conf

Mr.. Register argued that DR.. Kilgo had,
according to the evidence, been Mr..
Gattis' friend, and that in his revelations
to Judge Clark he had repaid kindness
with ingratitude and given hatred for
love.
