Major Conrad Resumes.

When Major Conrad resumed his argu-
ment, he continued the reading of the
testimony of Mr.. wynne, which had
been Interrupted by the adjournment
yesterday. The reading of this testi-
mony was made the basis of Major
Conrad's defense.
DO not permit a putty man to 90 un-
whipped of the law he has held in de-
fance," he said in his closing words to
the jury.
See if you did. what the effect would
be among the community OF thieves
thieves of fine reputation, who have
disgraced the high offices to which they
have been elevated and polluted their
hands and their hearts in the debas.ch-
cry OF weaker men and the fiIching Of
the public funds"
Justice Gould'S Charge.
Major Conrad concluded his argument
shortly before II O'Clock, and at that
hour Justice Gould began his charge TO
the jury. The charge was an able and
impartial review of the law applicable
to the case. The court alluded TO the
apprehensions of counsel for the defense.

gested considerations were foreign to its
deliberations and it's duty and should
have no weight in determining its YER
