BARTLETT CASE
NEARING THE END,
Argument Took Up One Entire
Day and May Be Concluded To ,
Day Defendant Interrupts.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Monticello. No.. May 29.-Judge Mckee. in
the Bartlett murder trial, this morning re-
moved all time limit from the speeches of
the attorneys engaged, and their argument
has extended through the entire day and
may no. be concluded until Thursday morn
ing. The courtroom has been crowded dur
ing the day. The crowd has been orderly.
there being only one demonstration or dis
turbance. A man applauded a particularly
strong statement of Attorney Marchand
and was promptly arrested.
Attorney r. B. Noel, for the prosecution,
spoke first. He dwelt especially upon the
repeated ISLANDERS of John A. edwards and
pronounced them worse than q horsewhip-
ping. During Noels argument concern
ing certain evidence. Bartlett interrupted
him by saying, There is no such evil
dence."
Prosecuting Attorney Walter NJ. Hilbert
followed. He laid particular stress upon
the evidence of certain witnesses whose
testimony he called into question. Attorney
fogle last night had appealed to the jury
70 ,Sonsider the feelings OF the defendants
iamily. MIR. Hilbert turned to Bartlett
in the course of his argument and said, re-
Lerrlns to a statement Edwards asked
Bartlett to sign, while in the Reveille office,

Sallows or prison CELL"
Ex-senator Nfarchand made an argument
or nearly three hours. covering the case ex-
haustively, dwelling upon every poin. at
length.
His argument was a splendid effort, sur
passing any in Mr.. Marchand's extensive l-
gal career. His argument on the subject Of
self-defense was the strongest portion of his
speech. He dwelt upon the threats made by
Edwards.
Attorney s.. J. Jayne. for the prosecution,
made a forcible argument for conviction.
Mr.. Jayne confined himself largely TO the
DETAILS of the shooting. His arraignment CT
the defendant was merciless. In his argu-
ment he referred to a statement made that
Bartlett had been robbed. No evidence bad
been offered to this effect. Perhaps" said
MIR. Jayne, Bartlett was never robbed
perhaps he robbed himself. Who knows?
You don't. and ! don't. Edwards had been
a friend Of Bartlett: He might have known
something that made Bartlett want to get
rid OF him.. There is something back OF
this" Attorney c. P. Hess followed for the
defense in an able argument covering the
case. Attorney Smoot closed with a strong
effort in behalf Of the prosecution.

from the rear, without taking a steady aim.
The banter was taken up, and Murphy
loaded his revolver and cooked the trigger.
Edwards had been watching the shooting
from the window Of his home, where he

ATTACK VALIDITY OF BILL.
Measure Prohibiting Gambling Is
Said to Be Defective.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
houses which were closed by an act of the
recent legislature may open here again.
1t Is claimed that the anti-gambling bill
signed by Governor Davis did not pass both
houses of the Legislature, and hence is null
and void.
1t will be remembered that the bill as
passed by the Senate was lost or stolen i'm
mediately after Its passage.
A copy of this bin was exhibited to Judge
Duftie to-day to show that the bill passed
by the House was different from the one
passed by the Senate. In the latter bill the
minimum fine for violation of this law was
500, whereas the bill passed by the House,
which was an engrossed copy. places the
fine at $1,000. The original bill was filed
with Judge Duffie for comparison with the
bill signed by the Governor. Should Judge
Dufiie hold that by reason of the above
facts that ~anti-gambling law is Ineffective
the gambling houses will open.
