JxrY at Buffalo Convicfs Him
E Murder in First
Degree.

abruptly. We have no witnesses to call
for the defense, but 1 ask the couS.
that my colleague and myself be al
lowed TO address the jury"
Permission was granted by the court
and Judge Titus began his address at
2:45
Gentlemen of the jury" he began,
"a calamity has fallen upon this ma
ton through the act of this man. but
the question is whether his act was
the act of an insane man. If en- in
sane man it is not murder and he
should be acquitted OF that charge. He
would then, of course, be transferred to
an asylum.
Much discussion has occurred in
our midst and has been called to my
attention as to the propriety or any
defense being interposed in this case.
Many letters have been received by me
since l was assigned with my associate
to defend this man, questioning the
propriety of defense being attempt
ed. You, gentlemen, know, perhaps,
how Judge Titus and myself came in
to this case. The position was not
sought by us, but we appear here in
thought devolved upon us, notwith-
standing it was an exceedingly dis
agreeable one.
Gentlemen, when they become
members of the legal profession be-
come members of the court They are
compelled assigned;to defend a GRIM
inal, or rather the one who is charged
with crime. They are compelled to
respond and accept the duty unless
they can present some reasonable ex-
cuse, and if they refuse TO perform
that duty they are guilty of mis-
demeanor and are liable to punishment
by the court.
There are in our county individu-
ais, not, 1 hope, in very large numbers.
but we know they are scattered sll
over the country who think in a case
like this or even in charges Of much
less degree that it is entirely proper
that the case should be disposed OF by
lynch or mob law. We can hardly
take up paper without We learn that
in some part of this free and indie
pendent country some man has been
murdered on the suspicion or belief
that he was guilty of some crime. This
state of things does not exist in our
community, but it does in some parts
of our state, as every intelligent man
knows
Gentlemen of the jury, while I be-
lieve firmly in that, 1 do not believe
it creates a danger to this court equal
to the belief, becoming so common,
that men who are charged with crime
shall not be permitted to go through
the form of a trial in a court of JUS
tice, but that lynch law shall take the
place of the calm and dignified ad
ministration of the law in our courts
of justice. When that doctrine be-
comes sufficiently prevalent in this

Czolgosz. Handkerchief.

Buffalo, Sept. 25.-One of the strong
elements in the belief of the Buffalo
and secret detectives that there was a
plot is that the handkerchief with
which the assassin concealed the hand
in which he held his weapon was a
woman's handkerchief. What is more
important is that the handkerchief was
tied about the hand in way that he
would not have been able to tie it him
self, no matter how skillful he might
have been or how much time he might
have taken to tie it.

man has stricken down the beloved
President of this country in broad dav-

Let no man hurt him. he was taken,
confined in our prison, indicted, put
upon trial here, and the case is soon
to be submitted to you, as to whether
he is guilty Of the crime charged
against him. That, gentlemen, speaks
volumes in favor of the orderly con-
duct of the people of the city of Bvf
falo.
Here was a man occupying an OK
allied position, a man of irreproachs-
BILE character; he was a man who had
come here to assist us in promotiCg
the prosperity of our great exposition
And he was shot down while holding
reception.
His death has touched every heart
in this community and in the whole
world, and yet we sit here and quietly
consider whether the man was re-
sponsible for the act he committed.
That question is one you are called to
decide"
