| Closing Argument.
In beginning his closing argument for
the state. Assistant District Attorney
Rand said
This trial has been hard experience
: | for you. but I venture TO say II IS one
: that you viii not look back TO with re
gret It would be ungTateful, too If L
, did not also make my aCknOWledSe-
ment to the learned court, and It would
| be unEenerous of me, -TOUnd!y as 1 was
abused. yesterday to your faces, II I
took OffenSc at what the counsel on the
other side in the eXIgencies Of a lost
2 and rotten cause was compelled To
- r,r
/ the calendar. and put me on trial at
this bar for high crimes committed as
! q public officer. He told you that l
thirsted for blood and had bounded
| Mrs Smith. Did 1 ask her an impOlIte
| question: Did [ not treat her thor
oughIv as a LADY, I would not make
| myself an issue here if I had no. been
injected as an issue in the case 10y the
l defendants counsel. It Is not an issue
at all. I might be all that Levy said.
: in the chagriu of a lost cause, and II
! ! would not affect this question. 1 want
and must have your confidence. If I
could sway the judgment of men ana
. paint the fair face of truth with
! sweet cosmetic. You would not listen 70
word from me. IF 7 could do these
things there would be but one place for
! me- and that would be at this woman
! side, a fit object of contempt
Shabby Device of Defense.
! Continuing. Mr.. Rand said:
Mr.. Levy has accused me of sup
= pressing evidence and other things, but
[ are those charges true2 I wonder if
you are such men as TO be sWayed from
| your duty by such a shabby outWOrn
device as trying to attack the prose
| cutor Levy did not make a point yes
| terday that was not based on a lie He
! | told YOU that Young wanted not a sew
erauce. but a continuance OF the dis
graceful alliance. Assuming that his
, logic Is sound regarding CogginS letter,
/ where are the facts2
Now. with regard to Mrs Smiths
testimony and my bounding her Mr.
Levy said ! tried to make YOU believe
that these pawn tickets bore date Of
June ,. ] did not say that the tickets
| represented articles pawned on June
3. because I knew they were dated
/ October. I did ask Mrs. Smith if they
were renewal tickets for articles
paWned on June ;, and her answer was
/ a lie. She also lied when she said she
! could not remember which of the
! bracelets given her by her mother was
pawned in SteTn's by her husband, J.
Morgan Smith. I knew that if I put
! Levy in a position he would help ne
get the pawn tickets in evidence. In
a moment Of fOrgetfulness he did the
trick IN a moment of fOrgetfUlness he
put before you, gentlemen, a piece Of
truth.
Rand's Sarcasm.
Then he says I have concealed ma
teriaI evidence That would be a wrong
! thing for me to do in a murder case,
! when a woman's life was at stake.
f ! wonder if when he was making that
/ charge Of cOncea1ing evidence his
thoughts were wandering along the
Canadian border to Toronto. And
wonder if, when he was charging unfair
T methods, he was thinking OF the
articles which kept J. Morgan Smith
r and his wife away from the first trial
"Since when has Levy the right to
r tell me to be a gentleman He swore
2 to me TO bring the blush to Mrs
= Young's honest face to answer his
questions Have ! tried TO drag this
7 defendant through the mire and,
1 covering her with stencil, asked you to
I convict2 Have I not treated her with
- the almost considerations But Levy
well knew that he had to win but one
: juror to his aid, while must cCavince
you all
Reviewed the Evidence.
Mr.. Rand reviewed the evidence in
the case. He declared that it had been
proven by the prosecution that Young
never owned a revolver and that even
if he had one it would have been
physical impossibility for him TO have
3 inflicted upon himself such wound
]
- tentiOn Of the jury to the preparations
, made by Young for his European trip
I and told them that alone proved be
t yOnd question that the boOkmaker had
no intention of taking his life The
contention Of the defense that IT was
Young who opposed breaking the rela-
tons between him and Miss Patterson
] he claimed was proven untena bic BY
the evidence. which he said showed that
Young had kept away from her during
the whole month just preceding his
death
Theory of Postal Card.
OF the souvenir postal card bearing
Miss PatteTson's name and addressed
in Young's handwriting. which was
, found in the young wOman's handbag
, at the time of her arrest. Mr.. Rand
said he had a different theory than
! the one advanced by the defense. They
, had suggested that il was put there
, by Young for the purpose of Identified
ton in the event of murder and sui
eide. He believed. however that il
was YOUngs intention to send the card
/ back from the steamer by the pilot to
show that he was on the sea.
2 When Assistant District Attorney
2 Rand finished his closing argument
! late this afternoon the court adjourned
until tomorrow.
