these papers, backed by the oral testi-
mony of bank officers. will prove that as
fast as the Lorenzes received their al
legged 40 per cent share of the receipts
from the sale OF the Croft fasteners
Machen received half Of the 40 per cent
and deposited it to his credit in the bank
at Westminster Md.
Conspiracy is always hard TO prove.
and the able attorneys for the defense
are doubtless prepared to explain away
each scintilla Of evidence brought for
word by the mute or oral witnesses.
They have been as industrious in the
examination of witnesses as has been
the prosecution. They have searched
for and examined masses Of papers with
the greatest care. When the point is
reached where the proving of the con-
spiracy is the point at issue. the real
fight will be on, and. in the language of
the day. the fur will fly"
The battle Of technicalities will be
long and furious. for the defense will
use all the arts known to the lawyer to
keep out the papers on which the prose-
cution bases its case. and each ruling
of Justice Pritchard on these conten-
tons, when unfavorable to the defense.
will be the subject OF an appeal to a
higher court.

is so much opposition among the easy
