the avowed purpose of the prosecution

sent only such evidence as they con-
sidered necessary for the holding of the
defendant, and only four witnesses
were called by the state. The mail
evidence was to the effect that Tucke,

killed, and also by proving that Tucker

winter weather as | ever saw in Albany.

with apparently hopeful results. When in

trodden Jews were abused that day in
America. A horse car driver stopped his
horses, ran to the sidewalk and knocked
down a Jew and then began to pound
another. So he thrashed two, when the
police came and drove him back on to his
car, and arrested the two Jews that he had
pounded, who so far as / could see, were
minding their own business. New York
city was horribly cold, and snowy and icy
