"One more word. In reviewing
this trial, forever and forever the

picture was drawn by a woman
woman in black. Closer than
all others save the accidental COM
panions of the slayer, in the wis
dom of Divine Providence, she
was placed to the slain. This NJ
witness on either side has denied
She has drawn the picture witt
lines SO sharp that it will never
wear from the minds of those who
saw her on the stand, for it is
craven, craven upon them. She
is looking at Mr.. Gonzales, watch
ing him with the view Of speak,
ing to him, to catch his eye He
is almost abreast Of the trio, san,

Its line, he Is taking the step
aad his countenance is placid,
perfectly calm, he seems 'ab
soroed in his thoughts. The
crack of the pistol and the picture

the vision as troops of witnesses
follow each other to the stand
back to it and ever back to 1t, the
mind of the spectator finds itself
turning for relief and rest-back
