made absolutely binding upon the par
ties in dispute, but the fact remains
that We're competent tribunal of arbi-
tration to exist and either party appeal
to it for a settlement Of its grievances,
| the party refraining or refusing to
have the matter so disposed of would
lose the confidence, support and sympa-
thy of the public at large. In this way
public sentiment will be brought to
bear and disputes and grievances will
undoubtedly find prompt and salts
factory settlement A board of this de-
| scription to command public respect
must consist of men who are broad
minded and whose grasp on public mat
ters is large.
l would suggest that if this PROPOSE
ton appeals in any way to your organ
ization and receives favorable consider
alton at its hands, that, as prelimi-
nary step, a committee of Two from the
Chamber Of Commerce. two from the
New Haven Business Mems association,
and four from the Trades Council be
selected to confer regarding the estab-
lishment of a suitable arbitration board
With the approval and sanction Of
these three organizations such a board
oR arbitration would at once command
the support and respect of the public
at large, The representatives from the
Chamber of Commerce might be manu-
facturers from the Business Mems as
ISOLATION, merchants, and from the
council Wage-earners. in this way the
committee would ge entirely representa-
tive, and free and full exchange Of
vews be had
1t would be difficult to foresee any
disag cement, large or small, that could
not be brought well within the scope OF
this committe and which could not be
settled on broad, common sense lines of
absolute justice. A question referred,
by both parties to controversy, to this
board and adiudged by it would be
definitely settled, and 1t is difficult to
believe that either party would not
abide at once by such settlement.
Should the operation of such board I
prove satisfactory, as I firmly believe
would be the case, the result would put
our city in most favorable light and /
would show its broad mindedness and
liberallty. No losses and disagreements
OF business need result, and exact and
equal Justice would be given all.
l have addressed similar letter to
each of the other organizations above
and should favorable con-
sideration be given by all, I would be
pleased to lend what assistance 7 NAV
In the carrying out of the plan herewith
suggested.

drowsy. There was no evidence, he
said, that McAlister had put anything
into the girls drink. Absinthe, ordered
by the girl herself, has the same effect
as choral hydrate. AS to the bottle
found on the road, there was nothing
to connect McAlister with it. and only
the hackman's story in relation to the
bottle. He asked the jury whether they
would prefer to believe Campbell's sto-
ry extorted by the police or his state
ment on the stand. The same thing
might be said of the statement made by
Death. He said that the statement of
the police that Death went beyond what
they sought to get from him in certain
particulars ought to exclude the officers
testimony. If the jury cannot show
that McAlister put something in the
girls glass, he said, they had nothing
on which to hang conviction, There
was nothing to show that McAlister
ever had the bottle found in the road, or
that he ever purchased choral hydrate
Mr.. Dunn contended that no poison was
ever given to the girl.
Mr.. Dunn then attacked the hack
man, who. he said ought to be in court
under indictment for murder as he
was in the case to swear away the lives
of the defendants. There was no evil
dence that the woman had been assault
ed and the hackman had been unable IT,
see any of the actual occurrences when
she was taken out of the hack. Take
the rackman out of the case, said Mr..
Dunn, and there is nothing left.
Mr.. Dunn pointed out that the state
had but one witness to say the girl was
criminally assaulted white the defense
had six witnesses to say she was not
This, he said, was the whole point. He
claimed that Jennie Bosschieter did not
die of poison. DR.. Witthaus, he said,
claimed to have found five grains of
choral in the stomach, while DR.. Van
denberg, on an analysis of the drinks,
had found the same effect as nr. Witt
haus described and his findings were
not denied.
Mr. Dunn denied that any motive
could be shown. The men, he said, had
not acted as criminals, and no criminal
act had been shown by the state. The
men had simply done everything possi-
BILE to revive the girl.
Mr.. Dunn made plea for mercy and
not vengeance, and a calm considera-
ton of the consequences of the verdict
instead of yielding to the sway of pas
sion. In conclusion Mr.. Dunn said: IT
ask you, gentlemen, to acquit these de-
PENDANTS of the crime charged against
them, and hope you will discredit that
lying, dirty, low-lived Sculthorpe."
When Mr.. Dunn closed Mr. Hoffman
asked that the court adjourn so that he
would not have to begin his address be-
fore morning. This was agreed upon.
He will be followed by Mr.. Ehley with
the closing argument for the state.

rests entirely on circumstantial evi
4 dence and does not commend 1uself t.
your reason. You must decide the cas-
on the evidence of those whom you be
lieve to have told the truth. I hav
tried to show you the flimsy kind o
evidence that was given you and I hop,
to obtain a verdict.
But. proving all the evidence Of the
state, when these young men discov
cred the position they were in. Wha1
did they do? They friends of hers
thought to bring her to. She was il
love with Death. Now, Is 1t probable
that they would want to ravlsh her
II they were prisoners and ravishers
would they dispose Of the body where
1t would be easily found? No they
would have burned the body, thrown ii
into the river, or mutilated it so thai
are not ravishers or prisoners. I ask
you to restore them to their families. .
At the conclusion of Judge SCOTS ad-
dress City Counsel Michael Dunn be-
gan to address the jury for the defense.
He said:
I'VE have great responsibility on
us in this case and 1t behooves us to
rise to the dignity Of our position, to
weigh carefully the evidence. One Of
the principal theories Of the state is
that there was a combination or con-
spiracy between the four men to do
up Jennie Bosschieter, take her to
SAILS saloon, render her unconscious
that they might ravish her. There is
-
previous arrangement between Camp
bell and Death, who met by chance in
Meyers saloon. When young men go
out on a racket they usually take their
chums along, particularly in case like
this. But none Of the defendants were
chums.
mo statements by Campbell or Death
to officers was given in the absence of
McAlster can be used against the de-
PENDANTS and these statements ara not
in the case. The testimony of the
brother and sister Of Jennie show she
had no arrangement to meet the three
men, theses defendants, when she left
home that night.
After Campbell and Jennie reached
SAILS saloon McAlister came. Camp
bell had no money and his borrowing
from Death shows Campbell was not
out on any kind Of plot or conspiracy.
When Kerr engaged the hack he said
he wanted it for party Of four. BY
this he meant McAlister and himself
and the two young women they We're to
meet that night on the bridge, and not
for the party of five, including Jennie
Bosschieter If they intended to ravish
the girl it would not have been neces-
sary to drive four miles to do it, as
there were many convenient places
within fifteen minutes drive from SAILS
saloon. No, gentlemen; they took that
long drive to give her air to revive her.
You may ask why did they stop. Be
cause she was sick. She had been made
sick by the mixing of drinks and it was
only natural for these young men to
try to revive her"
When court reconvened after recess
Mr. Dunn resumed his argument. He
took the position that Jennie Bossche-
ter had taken absinthe and champagne
on an empty stomach and became
