Murane spoke for an hour and & half. making an able address. and was followed by r. C. Sullivan. He also went at the evidence and analysed it thoroughly, showing the nature and character Of the prosecu- that the prosecution bad forgotten the evidence and were dealing in innucndo and iusinuation, If you believed in- uend0 and insinuations, gentlemen Ot the jury, every one of Us would have to leave Nome." He also pointed out that James had made no threats against laid off. They say" said Sullivan, that it is strange that Joiley would have taken such threats so long from James, but Jolley is Il man jS years old with a daus hter to take care of, and it is but natural that he did net want to get into trouble. Sullivan spoke until after , o'clock. claiming that the prosecution had not produced any proof to establish their case.

for drunkenness. three sheets in tho
wind?" landsmnn asked sailor the
other day. "Well." said the sailor, 'I'll
explain that matter to you. The two
lower corners Of ships sail are held

and another called sheet. The tack
Is always kept very tight. but the sheet
Is loosened according to the wind, and
the looser the sheet Is the more freely
the sail swings. IL the sail Is quite
free. its sheet Is said to be in the

ships sails were quite free. They
