AMONG COUNSEL

that 1t did arise from his misconduct,
that he fairly declined an encounter or
retreated us far as possible before the
homicide happened. With this there
was coupled another instruction to the
effect that If Gilligan was upon the
premises and with a shotgun. compro-
misingly caressing the daughter of Mr.
Turner, being aware that MIR. Turner
would seriously object, and that Tur-
ner did come upon them and was killed
by G!lligan, then he could not plead
self defence. The defence has instruc-
lions meant to cover the same points
ANOTHER CONTENTION.
Mr.. Holland contended that when a
man voluntarily trespasses and then
ADDS the very grave insult of coinpro-
misingly careSsGng his female child he
puts himself beyond the pale of self
defence. lie should not be excused by
any human or divine law. He held
that this proposition ought to obtain
in any country where virtue was not
discredit and where men held sacred
the chastity of their girl. children.
The whole case depends largely on
this instruction. The prosecution
claims that if Gilligan went on Mr.
Turner's premises. knowing that the
proprietor seriously objected. and then
put himself in n compromising atti-
tude with his daughter, he put his own
life in peril, and could not plead self
defence even If his own confession
were accepted as true.
When court adjourned at 1:20 O'Clock
no instructions had been absolutely
granted, and the argument will las,
a few more hours. The prosecution
offered fifteen instructions.
COURT RECONVENES.
Court convened after dinner, and the
argument was continued on the in.
struction offered by the prosecution
which puts Gilligan beyond the pale OF
self defence because of his own mis-
conduct in being on the deceased's
premises and being caught in n COM
promising attitude With the deceased's
daughter
AN ELOQUENT SPEECH.
Colonel Baker made the most elo.
quent talk which he has yet delivered
He claimed that there was no uncom
promising position except that q lover
had his arm about the form of the
young woman whom he adored. He
contended there was no criminal act
and that the young woman is now as
bright and as pure a virgin as the sun
ever shone on.
NO SHOW AT ALL.
Mr.. Edwards argued that the instruc-
'tion II granted would mean that the
prisoner has no standing in court, and
that their evidence would result in
nou6ht.
