hands Of the prosecution as Ia the

In answer TO Judge Wood, Mr. Dar-
row said that the defense was ready
to go to trial, but Mr. Richardson re-
quired him to make the qualification
that the defense was as ready as it
ever could be in the event the case Of
the state was withheld from it. He
said tina in all other respects the de-
fense was ready.
Mr.. Richardson responding in brief
to the argument of MIR. Borah, said
that counsel for the state made no
distinction in his arguments between
the overt acts which the state would
seek to show against the prisoners
and the evidence by which it would
seek to show the commission of al
legged overt acts. The defense wished
to know what the overt acts were:

Suddenly.

New York, May 6.-Henry r. II. u.
McIver, a soldier of fortune, whose
exploits have been carried on in many
lands, was found dead in bed in mis-
home here today. McIver's exploits
were made famous by series Of arti-
cles which recently appeared in a
widely circulated weekly. At the time
of his death the old man was engaged
in collaborating with well known au-
thor in preparing a story entitled
'sFfghting Under Eighteen Flags"
McIyer claimed to have served as a
soldier in the sepoy mutiny, under
Garibaldi in his campaign in Italy, as
captain under Don Carlos. the Span
ish pretender; as a major in the con

the defendants In the dark as to the
nature Of the case to be against
them and the defendants were entitled
to a more specific showing OF the
case. He submitted an extended brief
citing a great number of authorities

tention
Mr.. Borah in reply declared that the
fense was seeking disclosure of the
proof in the hands of the state rather
than more perfect pleadings.
Mr. Darrow, who closed The argu-
ment, began by saying that it was the
purpose Of the defense to secure a
disclosure of the evidence in the
hands of the prosecution and asked
why the defense was not entitled to
such showing. He made a spirited
attack upon the attitude of the pros.
ecution, describing it as mysterious
unfair and unjust. He asserted that
the only question involved was one OF
fairness and justice to the accused
