NEARING CLOSE OF CASE
AGAINST MRS. MOOREHOUSE
SCathing Remarks of the Attorney For the Prose
Culion-Judge Instructs Jury That They May
Bring in Verdict for Lesser Crime Than Murder

Wooster, O., May 2A.-At s:15
o'clock tonight the future of Mrs. En-
olo Moorehouse, whose trial for muir
der has engaged the attention of the
Wayne county court for ten days, was
placed in the hands of the twelve
men sworn to perform their duty be-
tween the state of Ohio and the de-
fendant. During the arguments to-
day of Attorney John G. Adams, OF
Lorain county, who has fought so
valiantly for the acquittal of Mrs.
Moorehouse, and Attorney w. E. Wey-
gandt, who closed for the state, the
minds of the spectators who crowded
the court room were frequently sway
ed by conflicting emotions. Burning
eloquence teemed from the lips of the
attorneys and in the midst of the
jostling accusations and denials, the
woman whose morrow might be the
first day of preparation for death, sat
stoic-like in her Indifference, as un-
moved and undemonstrative as ada
mant.

TURNED PROSECUTORS.
"in this case" said Attorney Ad-
ans, "the prosecutors have turned
prosecutors. In a case where human
life is at stake they have come to
trial with bundle of suppositions
They are going to ask jury of twelve
men to help them in making a guess
as to the guilt of a defendant; but
from the lips of their own witnesses
has fallen the story that vindicates
this woman"
"In this case, gentlemen, where IS
the evidence that is to convince a jury
| beyond a reasonable doubt that Mrs
Moorehouse is guilty? The burden Oi
| proof has rested on the side of the
state. 1t has been for them to prove
| and for us to refute. In the course OF
! the trial, they have given you the
| shadow and not the substance OIL

Safety of your home, and as you &c

of the law as it is modelled to protect
your homes-the law, that though i
condemns the guilty, sustains with al

SAVED BY q TECHNICALITY
Thugs who Murdered a Penitentiary
Guard Are To BE Given a
New Trial.

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec 5.-Division
No. 2 of the supreme court has re
versed and remanded for new trial the
convict murder case against Vaughan,
Raymond and Ryan, who broke out Of
the penitentiary a year ago after kill
ing a guard. Judge CAN'T wrote the
opinion Of the court He says that the
trial court erred in not giving instruc-
tons that the jury could convict any
one of the defendants or not. as
seemed right.
The defendants were tried jointly,
and attorneys for the defendants asked
instructions for the conviction of any
one separately, but Judge Martin held
that they had committed joint crime,
and all were guilty or all were limo
cent. and refused instructions. The
supreme court says this was a reversi-
bic error.

'The bill speaks for itself 1t was not
introduced for buncombe. My purpose
Is to give the congress of the United
States an opportunity to purge the
army Of an admittedly dangerous ele-

brave is not an argument against this
measure. Many men have been brave;
in fact. most men are in the matter Of

be. But no one would seriously sug-
gest that we ultimately recruit regi-
r,ents from them, put guns in their
hands and station them near compa-

entertain inherent race hostility. The
Twenty-ffth infantry IS manifestly
imbued with the same race hostility,
and events have shown 1t to be quite
as dangerous as the Sioux or Com
