MIR. STROBE SPEAKS.
AS soon as Judge Brown hnally took bis
seat. Mr.. Strobe arose and though he
could hardly stand-thoush every now and
then heavy cough racked his fra me-he
went on to argue for the admission OF
witnesses to substantiate Bowen and
other witnesses. TO prove. that Rose had
taken jug to Days store.
Mr. Strobe also referred to the fact
that the prosecution had been allowed
only certain number or Witnesses. The
petitioners had been forced to select wit.
nesses who could give the widest tcops
Of testimony. They could not b, ing down
number Of witnesses to prove the same
fact. The chairman of the committee
himself had written that he did not wish
cumulative evidence. The testimony OF
the few Witnesses brought had been de
MED by the, defense through witnesses.
The prosecution had others who could
srbstantiate what had been before testi-
fed and who by their statements could
sweep away" what the defense had at,
temnted to prove with reference to the
jury-r room. moreover" SAID Mr.. Strobe
In onclusion. tive Intend to lmpeach the
testimony Of Mr., Day. He has said that
Rose did not bring jug to his store that
Sunday. We have here witnesses who
saw the negro go into the store with a
jug and deliver 1t to Day. Do we under

such testimony as this?'
THE REPLY.
The reply OF Major Conrad was able and
brilliant. At times he convused tho au-
d.ence with his occasional sarcastic re.

, ticians.

cution, he said We're subsidiary. What hap,

with It, With reference to the Jug. the
defendant had already stated that he
did not send the negro out with jug. He
did not say tho servant had not gone out
with jug but he declared most en,-
pha ttcally that he had not sent him. II

. JUDGE LoVING'S RESPONSE,
a brief but rather fiery response wa.
made by Judge Loving. He too. made r
ference to the limited number OF. witness
es allowed, but stated distinctly that h.
had no complaint to make. Tho commit

times, IT was fact nevertheless tina
