ARGUMENTS ON
IN EMMONS CASE
JURY ADDRESSED BY JOHNSON
AND SEYMOUR
Lawyer for Defense Finishes His
Speech and District Attorney opens
for the Prosecution-Makes
Dramatic Appeal
BY Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO Oct. lin the EN-
mons bribery trial before Judge Har
this morning Grove l.. Johnson re
sumed his argument to the jury for the
defense. The courtroom was crowded
to it's full capacity and several times
the sheriff had to call for order wher
the auditors responded by laughter tC
Mr.. Johnsons sallies.
The attorney went rapidly over the
whole case as presented by the testi.
mony to illustrate his claim that neither
Jordan, Bunkers nor Lee had been cor
roborated.
He implored the jury to discover, ii
it could, any testimony corroborativt
of either Bunkers, the confessed per
jurer and felon, or Jordan, the alleged
go-between. He assailed the Continen'
tai Building and Loan association as
the real plaintiff in the case, the in
stitution he said being corrupt ant
debauched and operated in the inter
est of schemers; that Corbin had over
drawn and defrauded the company.
Mr.. johnson declared that there was
ample cause for investigation of that
company and held that 1t feared inves-
tigation and entered into scheme tc
forestall investigation and stand Off
exposure by turning upon the defendant
with an accusation that should serve
to distract attention from its own cor
ruption and cover it's own Villainies.
At 3:15 District Attorney Seymour be-
gan the concluding address to the jury
He opened with tribute to the state
and the manhood and womanhood that
had builded the commonwealth. But a
shame had come upon it when a sena-
tor was brought to the bar of justice
for wantonly violating his sacred trust
Lee, the negro" he said, was not
an accomplice, but an accessory after
the fact, and does not require corrobo-
ration. In legislative bribery the ques-
tion is what did the boodler intend, not
what did the briber contemplate.
WAS Emmons a senator and did he
receive money to bar and defeat in
vestigation of the building companies
These are all the things needful tc
be proved and they have been proved
beyond the shadow of a possibility OF
a doubt" said the speaker.
Shall the cost of the trial weigh
against the honor and life of the state
Shall Emmons be acquitted because
other men walk the streets who are
guilty and go unpunished? Shall al
murderers go free because some are not
detected? Why should not Sacramento
be the moral clearing house Of the
state? 1t is the capital and here the
laws are made and it must meet its
responsibilities.
"Wife and child are pleaded tc
save Emmons. but hearts had to be
sealed against it, that duty might be
done and corruption punished, no mat
ter how hard it may be-"
At this point the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning.

Various portions of the human body

of the body was directed by section
six of his will, which read
1t is my wish that my body be given
to a medical college in which anatomy
and surgery are taught, nearest to
the place Of my demise to be used in
such a manner as will be most to the
advancement of medical knowledge.
Mr.. Gait, who was a civil engineer
of national repute, and a member of
various scientific societies here and
abroad, drew up his will in 1897. After
discussing the matter with his wife
and frequently expressing his regret
that medical colleges seldom had an
opportunity to dissect the body of a

consent to bequeath his body to
