to show that Roberts was in Searcy the night the grave was robbed. He appealed to the jury in pathetic terms to send the de- fendant back home to his aged mother and devoted sisters, say ing he had already suffered enough and had given up his political fortunes and ambitions because of this unjust charge.
 BRUNDIDGE's CLOSING APPEAL.
 MT. Brundidge closed the ar- gument for the prosecution in a speech of two hours. He re- ferred to the responsibility rest ing upon him in behalf of the state, as White county had been outraged and her name made in- famous by this crime, which was reproach and an outrage upon justice.
 He said that he did not need a detective to watch him in either the private or public walks of life and the defense could bring on their detectives, provided they would tell the truth. This personal reference was brought about by the defense asking Gre gory on the stand if he had not accepted money from w. A. Old field as a detective to watch the speaker on his way to Hot Springs to ascertain if he didn't t ride on pass.
 The speaker said when he died he wanted to be buried in Searcy and prayed that no one would delve into his grave. He paid a
 gh tribute to Searcy and her people, saying they were a law abiding people with the excep- tion of a few lawless characters. The necessity did not exist for Lightle to dig up a body for dis secting purposes, as he could have secured a car load of bodies by simply paying the freight.
 MT. Brundidge referred to the defendants father, who had passed to the great beyond, and said that he had always been a

friend to the defendant since his fathers death, but the speaker declared he had never reached the point in life when he would not help uphold the law and as- sist in the prosecution of even an attorney when it was necessary and when the law had been vio- lated.
 MT. Brundidge also paid a high tribute of respect to Mrs. Ligh- tie, mother of Dr. Lightle.
 If the doctors theory was right, /" said the speaker, Ito get a body to dissect and to get it from Gregory for thirty dollars, then the defendant is not guilty. If the doctor formed a conspiracy to defraud insurance companies and got the body to palm off as his own, Roberts is guilty. Some one had sworn falsely in this matter, and the jury would be the judges.
 The speaker dwelt for some time on the doctors theory about "brightening up on anatomy, " and said the lamp turned over just in time for him to catch the train"
 Gregory swears it was the understanding when the conspi- racy was formed that the keys, watch and thermometer were to be left on the body. Why didn't the doctor leave his dissecting knife, too, instead of throwing it in the Ohio river?"
 The defense's alibi was then discussed from start to finish.
 If you want to do justice be- tween the state and the defend ant in this case how can you dis believe Gregory, when Moore, Baugh, Jones and others come on the stand and swear they would believe Gregory on oath, " asked the speaker.
 The trip to the cemetery by the defendant with Mrs. Lightle, the letter and note he wrote and the money used to bribe Deener and Nicely was discussed. ''I had rather rob a bank. I had rather rob store than go and rob the grave of it's dead, said Mir. Brundidge, in conclusion.
