fore court adjourned yesterday re-
sumed to-day. Replying to counsel
for the defense he commended that Mr..
Gonzales mind was clear when he
made his last statements.
P. H. Nelson, one of the attorneys
for the defendant, followed. He first
spoke of the law in the case, reading
the requests for instructions made by
the defnse giving the Interpretation
which the defense places on what
constitutes self-defense.
The court was asked to instruct the
jury that it is for the jury to say
whether a man of ordinary reason
would have acted as Mr.. Tillman did
on Jan. Is. .
Continuing Mr.. Nelson said the case
had been brought to lexington for
trial because of conditions adverse to
the defendant in Richland county. He
spoke of the attitude Of the news
papers against the defendant. Mr..
Nelson referred critically to the course
pursued by N. G. Gonzales toward the
sci on the testimony Of witnesses who
said Mr.. Gonzales had said he made

SAYS ITS ABSURD:
Judge Chytraus Says Van Deusen
Charges are Nonsensical.


New York Sun Special Service ~
Chicago, Oct. 13.-'There can be but
one foundation for the charge made by
Mr.. Van Deusen,' said Judge Chytraus
early this morning. That is that after
the new law became effective it was
some time before the new blanks were
received in Chicago and the Judges
were compelle dto naturalize foreign
ers without the aid Of those papers. Il
probably is true that in a few cases
every detail of the new law was not
enforced in this interval. The sitna-
ton In Chicago was, I suppose, a fair
representation Of conditions thruout
the country. ~ :
Since the law went into effect there
has been no heavy naturalization in
this city. 1t is only Immediately be-
fore election that papers are arked
for to any extent and I suppose that a
very few hundred would cover ali
those who have applied for naturaliza.-
ton papers since June 8.
- That any Chicago judge naturalized
1900 persons in an evening is absurd
If such a thing had happened T Womb
have heard Of it. Prior to election
many of the judges sit in the evening
in order to issue naturalization papers
but doubt If at any time when a, half
dozen or more jurists were at work
any such number of foreigners an
peared in the courts. Mr.. Van Deli
sen is trying to make a mountain ont

Justice Bischoff of New York De-
ivers an Important Address
- Before Legal Fraternity.
Says Demands Upon the Courts Are
Too Great for the Present
System.
Thinks Legislative Power Should
Provide New Machinery for d
Trial of Criminals. >.

New York, Oct. 13.-In an address
before the Phi Delta Phi fraternity
In this city, Justice Bischoff, or the
New York supreme court has pointed
out the fact that the spirit which un-
derlies mob law confronted the pa
triarchs of old in the Mosaic law, and
is to be found underlying the deVel-
opment of the entire system OF GRIM
mal Jurisprudence, representing the
rebellion of passion against orderly
procedure of the law and the safe
guarding thrown about an accused
person. The cause of lynchings and
other outbursts, he said, may be cpl
tomiZed in the words: The laws
delay III
1T is true" he continued, that
there is more or less delay IN the adj
ministration of the law which appears
to proorastinate. so that the time
elapsing between a crime and it's pun
fshment seems at times needlessly pro-
longed, but this is not the fault of the
law or its administration, so much as
1t is the result of conditions which
surround the gradual evolution of our
great judicial system. XII
The demands upon the courts are
TOO great for system planned to ac-
commodate scarcely half the business
now represented and making no elias

punishment should follow speedily

the accused, the accomplishment Of
1 the crime. -''..
Law Should Be Changed.
But 1t does not follow, because Of
this defect the delay of justice, that
the system is wrong, or that>mob rule
had better supplant it. or that there
Is justification at any time for assass-
anatton in the name of punishment
for crime. It is but a voice that
should be needed by our legislatures
in providing an elastic, flexible system
for the administration OF, law, which

their being left upon an impoverished
land without government aid or sup

anttpathies of the white races. The

and limitations they were ignorant,
with the result of misunderstanding

TO examine reports resulting from the

Of President McKinley's assassination.
information concerning this was con-

minister the oath. From legal
standpoint these men still are for
