it at the Racket store. Why did they
call as witnesses, Mr. Chunk, Mr.
! Bentz and so many Of the clerks Of that
store. It was to prove that Jessie Nor
rison took that razor from the Racket
store In this they failed. They failed
because the truth was against them.
| Judge Redden read over the instruc-
tons to the jury and commented on
them.
THAT REASONABLE DOUBT.
Zach juror must be satisfied beyond
| a reasonable doubt that the defendant is
guilty and each and every one must de-
eide that question in your own mind"
To great length Judge Redden discuss
ed the instructions of the court. He
dwelt particularly upon the doubt in the
matter.
II am going to refer TO matter that
would have beeen left out if the case by
me, had it not been for the attorneys
for the state
you will remember what Mr.. Lrydig
said when he stated that when Mr..
Mooney dared to criticise the dying state
ment Of Clara Wiley Castle, that he call
ed it brutality. He did that with a
purpose. He was not defending woman
hood, but was an attorney for a state.
He went further than that, he went
further and hoped to bring out more of
the morbid discussing of this community.
''DIr Mooney did not repeat the saying
Of DIN Castle as Mr.. Leydig said he had.
Those things were not worth repeat
ing by Mr.. Mooney, nor any one else
who pretend5 to be a man"
d,
Der of things about the demeanor of the
witnesses, on the stand
you are the exclusive Judges Of the
witness. Of what they have said. You
are to decide this case and no one can
can go behind your decision. I think
that I can say with the exception of the
clerks in the Racket store, oue-half Of
the witnesses for the state went out Of
the bounds in this matter and attempted
to bring in gossip and hearsay evidence.
ATTACKS THE WITNESSES.
''Take the evidence Of Miss Clara
Cowles who stood in her own yard and
she had such a vision that according to
the statement Of the county surveyor she
saw through two stone walls and saw the
defendant trying to conceal something in
her dress.
This witness allowed her feeling of
bias to overcome her judgment as the
statement of the county surveyor.
'Take the testimony Of Mrs. Ehlers, It
was clear and concise as she told of the
visits Of Olin Castle to her home to see
Jessie Morrison. And she answered the
questions of the states attorneys as
kindly and patiently as she did to the
questions of the attorneys for the defend
ant"
Judge Redden attacked thu testimony
of Mrs. Spangler and brought up the rec
ords ofthe preliminary examination
"Olin Castle" said Judge Redden,
chung his head as he answered the ques-
tons for the attorneys for the defense"
ACCUSES DIN CASTLE.
DIN Castle at the time that Jessie Nor
rison was on the stand crossed the line
that has separated the two families. one
the defendant and one of the girl who
is now dead He did It and It was for a
purpose and that purpose was to con-
fuse the defendant by his looks"
