Der 10, 1902, he was with Dolan during the day
in Hoboken and that they were at the Hudson

was at his office IN Hoboken at p. m. on De-
cember 10.
Joseph Tracey. Hoboken stationer. said that
Dolan was in his store at I p. on Decem-
Der 10.
No questions were asked these latter wit
nesses by the prosecution and the defence
rested.
Mr.. Rand moved that Parks be committed to
the Tombs during the remainder of the trial, and
Recorder Golf denied the motion.
After recess the prosecution put George Murty
on the stand, and he testified that December
is he was employed by Josephus Plenty, and
at work the Hamburg-American pier.
He said that he member of the House
smiths and Brldgemen's Union. and after the
strike he and four of his fellow workmen did
the same class of work that they had done be-
fore the strike.
Jacob Gossman, another member of the union,
gave substantially the same testimony.
No questions asked either witness by
the defence, and this concluded the case for the
prosecution.
COLONEL ROBINSON SUMS UP.
Colonel David c. Robinson began to sum up
for the defence at 2:20 p. m. He declared that
the only evidence presented against Parks was
''the uncorroborated evidence of a who had
a moneyed interest in putting a crime on some
one" Colonel Robinson attacked the testimony
of Plenty. and declared that PIenty's object in
drawing his check was to provide evidence to
the Hamburg-American company that he had
paid money to settle the strike. because Of his
agreement with the company that it would re-
pay him $3.50 if 1t cost him $500 to settle.
Referring to Parks, Colonel Robinson said:
HE was the trusted representative Of five thou
sand OF the most intelligent, the most acute
mechanics in the city of New-York For many
years he under the espionage of asso-
citation of manufacturers hyenas and wolves,
bound together by the coherent attractions of
plumber"
THE PROSECUTIONS CASE.
few minutes before p m. Mr.. Rand be
gan his address for the prosecution. Pointing 10
Parks. the Assistant District Attorney said:
Not his fellows are on trial here, but he is.
Organized labor is not on trial here. There is
nothing infamous in the name of walking dele
gate, except such like Sam Parks and
John Dolan and Henry Farley have put upon it. :"
In the course OF his address Mr.. Rand pointed
out that no one had testified for the defence as
to where the witness Dolan was December
10 between and o'clock. And Dolan him
self" he continued. 1.-The frail reed which
their whole fabric of fraud and perjury rests.
did not say where he during those two
hours" Turning to Parks, Mr.. Rand continued:
And when Parks took the stand before he had
spoken twenty words, is there any doubt that
every man within the sound of his voice knew
that he was not only an extortioner and thief,
but perjurer?"
Later with impassioned utterance Mr. Rand
said: ON the sworn testimony in this case, say
that Bernard Lynch the through
whose hands the dirty money passed. On this
testimony l say that he keeps a resort at Fifty
ninth-st. ard Third-ave. for eXtortioners and
thieves. Why didn't Barney Lynch come here
and deny PlentyS story? They asked Where is
Barney Lynch? I'll tell YOU where he is
Mr.. Rand went over and pointed to where
Lynch sat, in the first row outside OF the rail-
There's Barney Lynch" he said. Come.
Barney Lynch, and tell to whom you gave the
5000? Come, Barney Lynch, and tell for whom
you received that 5000? Come, Barney Lynch,
for your friends sake for your names sake,
and tell to whom you paid this money!"
