Mr.. RAND BEGINS ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Rand thanked the jury for the
consideration they had given 10 the case
and to the court.
IT admire, can tell you, the audacity
of the counsel for the defense. He has
come empty handed to this court with
the exception OF buckets full OF mud.
with which he sought to besmireh the
witnesses In this case, and myself as a
public official.
For myself. I can forgive, for i
recognize the zeal necessary In the ext
gencies of his lost and rotten cause.
why, If I possessed one half of the
seducing charms of speech which Mr.
Levy says / have. you would not listen
to a word I have to say. For. were l
such q district attorney there would be
but one place-Tor me. and that would
be by the defendants side, fit object
for the scorn of all right-thinking men.
Forcing of Perjury.
He accused me of forcing witnesses
to perjure themselves He spoke here
for seven hours yesterday, and five of
those hours he used in abusing me,
Mil1in and McKeon. In one hour he
scarcely made one point that was not
based on a misstatement Of fact.
'I wonder If he forgot old Fob Tur-
ner?
You Will remember that Mr.. Levy
asked Miliin on the stand If 'at the
Sheepshead Bay Club, Young left re-
volver in q toilet room. and that Bob
Turner gave il to Young and Milda
replied in the negative. I have waited
here patiently to hear from Bob Turn
er, hoping that If he had any such a
@11y
1t. He has no such story to tell, and he
dare not come here TO tell it."
Mr.. Rand Eook up the attack made by
counsel for the defense on the Coggins
letter The prosecutor spoke on the
pawn tickets with which Levy yester-
day charged Rand tried TO make the
jury believe the jewelry was pawned on
June 3
The Pawn Tickets.
Now I will tell you why I asked the
defendants sister If these were renewal
tickets for articles pawned on June g. i
asked her If the jewelry belonged 10
her, and she said that it did, and that
her mother gave 1t to her, l asked her
if she had seen them since June /, and
she said no. Now, I was very careful
not to show those pawn tickets that
day, and l kept them In my pocket.
Levy went up IN the air at this point
and cried, "Fhoss tickets are dated in
October That was the tip the witness
wanted Now, / wonder how Levy
knew, and Levy in an unguarded mo-
ment permitted these tickets to go into
evidence.
s'FIe says that I've concealed material
evidence. Levy spoke of the clerks. al
Hyman Stern Don't you suppose that
If they could shed any light on TINS
crime the defense would call them?
II wonder if his mind goes back TO
the lady of the snow? / wonder II ne
thinks of Toronto? | wonder II ne had
in mind the tactics the methods which
have kept J. Morgan Smith and his wife
away from two trials where their sister
Is being tried for murder? / wonder II
he thought of that?
Again Scores Levy.
''Since when has Levy tried to tell me
when to be a gentleman? He forced me
by his questions when Mrs. Young was
on the stand to call spade spade and
mantle that woman's face with flush
she has never known.
Since when has Levy tried TO tell me
when to be a gentleman He said thai
| would wrap this woman in stencil
said no word about her in the opening
and / will say no word about her now
except where the evidence eompels me
Don't you suppCs Sc that / have heard the
call the call Ii at calls man TO thu
protection of a woman. have hearc
that call many times. Here nave heart
one call, and that call was to my duty.
