Hogg's conduct yesterday Judge Hill.
ton sat through 1t all without once
rising to make an objection. Indeed
from the time Mr.. Hogg began his
speech until he ended. he had the floor
without interruption.
OF course the court room was crowd
ed. friends of both sides being present
On the whole. however. the spectators
today seemed to be frendlier to the
prosecution than for some time past
for throughout the greater part of the
case sympathy. If one can Judge from
the slight murmurs rising from time
to time. has been rather more with
the defense than with the prosecution
But today everyone of Mr.. Hogg's
telling points was appreciated and sew
eral times the bailif had to rap for
order to quench the incipient laughter
or applause Of the audience.
Confined to the Evidence.
Mr.. Hoggs speech differed consid-
erably from that of Judge. Hilton yes
terday for, while the latter did not GO
deeply into the testimony in the case
but confined himself principally to an
appeal to the jury in more general
terms, Mr.. Hogg confined himself close
iy to the testimony, though with run
ming comment as he proceeded on
Judge Hilton and the Western Feder-
alton of Miners. who. however, he sell
dom called by name.
In substance, Mr.. Hogg's speech was
as follows:
Il wish to discuss few things pre-
liminary to my discussion of the tes-
timony in this case.
"Much has been snid by counsel for
sIe defense that is not honest, logical

Il was much Interested in Mr.. Hill
toms reference to that picture he hat
seen of ancient Rome. He could hav,
found no better picture of the uttei
brutality and savagery of the assas
sins that have cursed our own land
And he thus links the savagery of thu
past with the savagery of the present
the transformations of the past with tn,
assassinations of the present
I'VE all may he hunters, Mr.. Hill
ton says, but there are two kinds o
hunters. Typifying one kind was tina
Great Hunter of all times. who cam,
to seek and to save such We're lost
And many there are like him who hun

order that they may do them good
And then there Is the second class o
hunters-those who hunt down thei
fellow men for their own selfish pur
poses.
Judge Hilton says when we see
man running. and another shouting
stop. thiefn we all join in the chase
But Hilton would join in only that III
might shout to the other pursuers tn,
mans innocence. And then. when th'
pursuit was over, Hilton would NEE
the man around the corner and divide
the swag.
but l take 1t for granted that yot
will observe your oath to decide thi,
case strictly on it's merits. and tina
therefore you will pay no attention tt
all this trash. And so l proceed to
discussion of the case.
Mr Hilton has told you that ther,
is an irrepressible conflict impending
in order that labor may emerge from
its present condition of dependence
That conflict is not n new one: 1T hai
always existed. and always will exist
