had brought in Macaboy's dying declaE-

attorney continued. and he made dra-
matte point as he alluded to the state

..He did shoot himself" Mr.. Davis de-
clared even though CASTOR Philips hand
held the pistol and CASTOR Philips finger
pressed the trigger
Lack Of Animosity.
Still another point was made in favor
Of the defendant when Attorney Davis
called attention to the lack of evidence in
dicating that Philip bore any animosity
toward Macaboy or that he armed him
self with any deliberate intention to shoot
the cabman. Does the government mean

Mr. Davis concluded his remarks at

INDUCES in Sarcasm.

The speaker described the scene of the
shooting and referred 10 the evidence
which showed that Philip was in his room
either asleep or in stupor when the po-
licemen went to get him. He also spoke
with much show of scorn OF the defend
ants attitude when he was aroused.
The record shows that Philips first
thought was not for the possible fate of
the man he had shot. nor of his own pre-
dicament' Mr.. Turner said but he had
not gotten on: of the hotel when he said
to Policeman Reilly: Get me cocktail
Do you think that Sergt. Evans and Po-
l;ceman Reilly came here and periured
themselves on this point? And yet We
are asked to accept an analysis of the
thoughts OF that mind mind not alive to
anything of the dark future except the
thought Give me a cocktail Al the
station house We find him saying: I do not
want to talk until | have seen my law
YER" and Mr.. Turner added to this the
semi sarcastic statement: Since then he
has seen his lawyer
Mr. Turner said he had asked Philip in
cross-examina ton, if he was afraid OF
Macaboy. and that he had answered af
firmatiyely.
Il asked him If Opdyke was there. the
attorney continued and he answered
Yes If Taylor was there-Yes. If

the station house was only two squares

In conclusion Mr.. Turner said that there
could be but one view of the case-that

to rid himself of the annoyance ana the
bullying tactics of the cab driver. ana had

Mr.. Davis pictured the return to the
Arlington Hotel for the last time and re-
ferred 10 the fact that Warner Sanford
the sailor. formerly a porter at the Ar
lington had heard Macaboy call after
Philip when the latter entered the hotel
that he was going down to the Willard
Hotel, where his cabstand was located.
Phillip believed Macahoy. and he armed
himself only as Il matte' of self -protect

on the street and the latter should resume
his persecution and should make the at

BEST GOODS AT LITTLE COST.
Moses & Sons Have Splendid Stock
for September Sales.

The Moses & Sons annual September
| sales are unique events in the mercantile
world. The system employed in assembling
| the stocks is described as going through
the wholesale markets like a magnet
through steel filings. hold on to what
is worthy and dropping what lacks suf-
ficient attraction. That attraction is not
only of quality, but brings price prom
inently into play. Goods must measure
up to the best standards, while the price
inducements must be immense.
In order to effect this combination whole
factory stocks of furniture are bought at
Il clip, whole mill stocks of carpets, rugs,
etc. are taken. Sometimes it is furniture
that has proved too expensive for the
manufacturer to build for the general
market and therefore discontinued, while
often the floor coverings are drop pat
terms as they are called.
Then some change in pattern is made
in order to produce a design called new.
An instance of the furniture purchases
may be cited in the closing out of the
stock of Hall. Heddington & Co. of Bal
timore. These manufacturers made goods
too we'll. and in consequence of having to
ask a commensurate price for them were
forced to assign.
Moses & Sons bought what they con-
sidered best in design of this stock-it was
all cheap enough considering quality.
This purchase alone gives the public a
great opportunity in bedroom furniture.
