The New York Journal of Commerce
concludes thoughtful article on the iron
industry in the follow
''e ou.'oon ,. ing words:
W. When we consider the
enormous increase in consumption in this
country as Indicated by the increased
production in fifteen years, and the vast
difference between the per capita con-
sumption in this country and in countries
so highly developed industrialiy as
France and Austria-Hungary, it is evil
dent that the consumption of iron is an
elastic quantity whose limits it is idle to
estimate. The per capita consumption
of iron may be expected to- so on in
creasing in this country. and even to so on
increasing rapidly; but what has happen
ed in the past few months is that the
production and the price of iron have
been increasing out of proportion 70 other

THE ARGUMENT
IN RIDDICK CASE
Continued from First Page.)

a brief review of the important features
of the evidence, and asked for verdict
of murder in the first degree.
FOR THE DEFENCE.
Colonel Meade Hasliins was the first
speaker for tie defence lie started out
in :; calm and deliberate manner, but as
he progressed he warmed up and delivered
himself OF some vigorous and toccefui
statements.
The Colonel, after conplimenting Mr..
Saunders for his ability, said it was stlll
9 mystery to him why the eminent
Speaker of the House should have peen
brought here to assist the competent, EN-
Gent and able Commonwealth 5 Attorney.
If Mr.. Saunders had come to defend the
character OF DR.. Temple. he had found
himself without an occupation, for the
character of that gentleman was unfair
niShed.
After telling of how two families had
been plunged into the deepest grief, COL
onel Haskins plunged into discussion OIL
the evidence and replied to the arguments
advanced by Mr.. Saunders. He said no
man could be convicted of murder IN the
first degree without the proof OF mahce
aforethought. Malice had not been proven.
The whole of the testimony tended 10
show that Dr. Temple and Mr.. R!ddlck
were the best Of friends
EXPERT TESTIMONY.
The Colonel took up the most important
features of the case and dWelt upon tieh1
He impressed upon the jury the tact that
men known far and wide for their knowI-
edge of diseases of the mind had declared
Ki9dick to be insane. The fact that neigh
bors Of the prisoner had never seen nm
do anything they could construe as evil
deuces of insanity might be all true, and
yet amount to but little. The expert had
testified and medical books teach that this
form of insanity may suddenly manifest
itself in the most violent forms.
The Colonel closed with a powerful ap-
neal for his client. He spoke about an
hour and a quarter and evidently made
good impression upon the jury.
It was decided to convene the court at
S o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Goode will
be the first spaker, followed by Messrs.
Poage and Davis, all for the defence, and
Mr.. Buford will close for the Common
wealth.
1t is possible the case may reach the
jury tomorrow night. z. +. n
