HIS suggestion TO wait tin the win
ter rains set IN 20 show that the road
was injured by the working given 10y
il is about as weak as his idea of mend
ing the low places without drawing "a
spoonful Of dirt 20 the center.
His attempt to make it appear that
certain instructions given by the board
Of Supervisors for working the roads
have been ignored is equally weak and
has the ring of a subterfuge No in
structions were given boy the board
each supervisor directs the work in bis
district, aud as these instructions were
given by me I would be among the
first to complain if I had reason to
think they were not carried out. If
the labor furnished by the county for
keeping the roads 10 repair has been
misdirecied resulting i'm injury to
them as charged, then Traveller should
prove it by the people living along the
way who know its past as we'll as its
present condition, and are therefore
competent 60 judge

denounced several of the state witness
IS. and ~euIogized SchmiJz and Hocutt,
the defense's witnesses.
DOnnell Gillian spoke two and a half
hours for the prosecution. His speech is
declared by some excellent judges to
have been the most logical or either
side 50 far. He spoke of the corrupt
public sentiment which was growing
because of the maudlin sympathy for
accused persons who lac violated the
law. The dead q is lost sight of. \
corrupt sense of mercy can only have
but a tendency to overthrow the law.
He asked the jury to guard against this
sentiment. The duty rests not alone on
the court and the jury, but on the at
tOrneys. No pleasure had come TO him
from the incipiency of this case. but the
discharge of his duty, which he tried to
discharge rightly. He then referred to
the criticisms of counsel for the defense
which had been heaped upon counsel
for the prosecution. He said he had
carefully weighed the matter before he
entered upon the case and a no apol-
ogy to make for his course in the trial.
He charged that the assault on prose-
cution was a concerted scheme on the
part of the defense from the start for
the purpose of influencing the jury by
diverting their minds from the points
at issue. He cited the fact that the de-
Tense was the first to begin the assault
on the character of witnesses, over
which it raised such a storm of criti-
cism. He replied to the criticism of the
defense on the prosecution for ~receding
from asking for a verdict of murder in
the first degree and said the grand jury
rendered a bill against the defendant
for murder in the first degree. Gillian
will finish his argument tomorrow
morning.
