the best attorneys in the state and do
this almost alone. He has been charged
with the use of testimony that he knew
was unstable and if it were not that
there was human life at stake, the
way in which the testimony was used
could be said to be admirable.
From the beginning of the arguments
the court room has been packed at
times it was impossible to get into the
room, the crowds being larger than
they were at the other trial. This is
due to the fact that most of the teachers
attending the summer school are
present and while the people of the city
have kept away during the examina-
ton they have been anxious to hear the
plea.
Neither Mr.. Childs or Mr., Brown
spoke to the audience. Their addresses
were confined to the jury and the
analysis of the evidence. In this par
ticular Mr.. Brown is an adept. 1t is
doubtful if there is another attorney in
the state who can so successfully
analyze and tear to pieces the testi-
mony presented as he can, but he has
not the faculty of covering up and
smoothing over the weak places that
Mr.. Childs has and it is in that and
the imposing appearance that Mr..
Childs presents that he has the ad-
vantage of Mr.. Brown. -
In this last address to the jury Mr.
Brown has far exceeded his previous
attempts. His whole soul has seemed
to be in the plea and the fact that up
on the proper Interpretation Of the evil
dence depended the life or death of a
man seemed to permeate the entire dis
course and it was plainly discernable
that he was conscious of the great i'm
portance of the duty that he was given
to perform.
There is this difference between Mr..
Brown and Mr. Childs, the people seem
to like Mr.. Brown: they admire Mr..
Childs. He is like the iron bull dog
in the park, silent, grim, menacing.
He is prosecuting machine that has
lost the original element of mercy and
grinds in the same grooves that time
has worn in it's bearings.
The last witnesses for the defense
were the two boys who were in the
street that passes the Dahms they are
Albert Kuester and Otto Reinke.
Albert Kuester, works for the Eagle
Mill company of this city, lives or
Garden street, near slough by the

dence. On the night of the murder was
