THE EVIDENCE ALL IN

l This closed the case and it was ] agreed that both sides should confin.
 their arguments within three hours and that Messrs Hamilton, Kenned, I and Russell should speak for the de fense.
 1 MT Kellogg opened for the state
 He said it was one of the most serious cases ever heard here That it was
 serious in its import in the number o1 counsel engaged and in it's effect Law and order, civilization and good government itself were involved in its
 issue. He asked conviction on al ] of the counts in the complaint. The ac
 cused, he said, had common meeting
 place, Wolcott's place. and there they
 planned the outrage and the conspiracy charged against them
 MT Kellogg was quoting from the books when MT O'Neill took exception to this, on the
 grounds that 1t is the rule to quote to
 the court and not to the jury. Four
 verd1cts were possible to be given, as-
 sault with attempt to murder, assault
 with intent to kill, assault, and lastly, verdict of not guilty. Malice afore thought he held could be determined from the kind of weapons used and from the effects of the assault and from it's nature and atrocity. He said this was the most brutal, atroc- cious and degraded assault ever com mitted. The accused had a motive in making the assault and the object in putting stones on the track was to de- lay the oncomihg car and give them time to remove the evidence of the trouble. Winnegar, he characterized as the leader of the crowd.
 He asked if the conduct of Merna in taking back the car to the barn was the conduct of scab; if it was the conduct of man who should be assaulted. The wounds of Merna were sufficient, he said, to show malice, the fractured skull, the bro ken ribs, the general beating, and finally placing him unconscious on the tracks. This he said was enough to bring in verdict on the first count. He asked the court to charge the jury that an alibi is a defense proven by perjury, and he said that the altbis of Winnegar and Clifford Vandemark be settled down finally to he word of Howard Dennis who could not be produced. MT OaNeill said that he could have been produced had the state sought to do so, and he asked the court to so charge the jury.
 MT Kennedy spoke next He spoke sof some time on the jury system and hen said the defense asks no favors, 10 mercy, only what the law allows. Whatever or however others felt. or lid. the jury must do right. It was heir duty to scrutinize and closely ex- lmine the evidence of the state, the estimony of the accomplices, on tho eputation of man whose neighbors aid his character was below par; on ne reputation of man whose. neigh IOrs shun him. K #
 Mr Kennedy was speaking at press lour.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.

The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 To-day we enter upon the 157th day ofsour strike, with renewed energy and determination to continue our fight for Just1ce and fair play which is all we nave asked for from the commence ment of our fight last January.
 We made a request for a small in crease in our wages to enable us to live half way decent, and thereby enable us to do something towards the education or our families so that they might be enabled to better their condition when they should reach that age when they would have to go out into the world to dght l1fe's battle. Is there anything wrong In such an effort? We asked to have our committee recognized to settle any unpleasantness that might arise between our men and the off cers of the company directly having control Of our division, so that things might run along in tn even tenor of thelr way. Our requests were ignored and we had to have recourse to the only method left, viz to strike.
 The company has since the inau- guration of the strike squandered sum more than sufficient to pay the in- crease asked for, on all it's lines for the next four years, in the short space of i've months they have thrown away what they claimed they could not af ford to pay their help and what have they accomplished? The strike is still on and the great majority of our citf- zens are inconvenienced and dissatis- lied and are daily growing stronger in their denunciation of the company,s methods and are determined to stay with us to the end

than it costs to take your family to the
theatre once, you can have graphic
phone, which is equal to dozen theat-

with it you can reproduce all the songs,

you wish to hear? You get combina-
tion of an orchestra, theatre, concert
and no end of novel and delightful en-.
