MI Putnam's Argument.
This was a cold-blooded. deIfbsrs..
cOWaTdly murder. There was malice +
Mills heart. He went up to that rs-
so that he wouldn't have any chaDcs +
get away. and shot him when his b7s
was turned. II was a deliberate f--
treacherous murder; that's what +
was. Mills made no ATTEMPT Go b.
away. This shows his deliberatioD n
reaching the police station ne rvsgi
say nothing; he would not talk 20 --
chief Of police nor 10 the reporters. h.
knew that reporters mistake Things
and the newspaper exaggerated THINGS
and being an Intelligent man, he k1z
that this would arouse public opin..-
against him, and kept quiet.

to be killed because of the slanderu

Before Mr.. Putnam's argument Wl

viii finish this morning. He is IEal
to occupy an hour and a half where

that it was not necessary for the de-
fense TO prove that the defIemeBt q
Mrs. Mills had occurred, but that
was sufficient TO show that the defend
ant acted upon good grounds for BIZ
belief.
1t is. Of course. impossible 70 say h7-

It is possible that an agreement mai
be had before the noon recess. but nor
likely the verdict viii not b. RENDERED
until the afternoon.
