Attorney w. Forrest of Chicago closed
the arguments for the prosecution in a

to the strength of circumstantial evidence
declaring that it was stronger than direct
testimony. In closing he declared that the
very fact that all of the evidence in this
case did not agree in important details, but
did agree to the main facts was con-
elusive that it was not perjured testimony

A Rank Fizzle.

In writing up the alleged lecture
given by F. f. DeLong to small
crowd al the Auditorium last evening,
we are puzzled to know just how to
treat such discourse and the speaker
who delivered it.
Young DeI,ong Is, by his own state
ment. "twenty-eight years old, girls"
and halls from >Bellefontaine. His So
called lecture consisted Of disconnect-
ed jumbles In the way of attack upon
the Catholic church and local press
and in attempts at sensationalism, all
serving as prelude to a sale Of
books, upon which, we presume, he
makes a good profit. Indeed, it seems
that he Is a platform book agent more
than a lecturer.
AS an orator, he possesses few Of the
qualifications outside of good vocal
organs, and we wonder at this fact
since in speaking of himself, he stated
that at the time Of the Spanish-Amer-
ican war he wished to join the army
to go to the Philippines. but was un-
able to do so because an attack of
measles had settled upon his lungs.
He belongs to that class of orators
who would do better shoveling dirt
and II he did but realize that fact he
could get a job right here in Marietta
His attacks upon Catholic church
are so weak that that institution need
have no fear from the utterances of
his unbridled tongue There is one
thing, however, with which he should
be given credit. and that is an unlim-
tied amount of bookagent's nerve.
