Big Throng Assembled

Since the closing hours of the trial
of Abraham Ruef Carpenters hall has
not witnessed such d throng as assem-
bled in the quiet neighborhood at the
outset of today's afternoon session
when A. A. Moore resumed his argu-
ment.
Women and men to whom cards had
been furnished from sources usually in
fluential vainly pleaded with policemen
at the doors for permission to enter. A
mounted patrolnSan, squirting his horse
onto the sidewalk, cleared an avenue
to the doorway time after time, but
the crowd, increasing by scores and
fifties, fingered outside after it was an
nounced that no other persons would be
admitted. More than one woman, tired
of importuning, engaged in abuse of the
officers and one man, who threatened
to resort to violence, fled to escape
arrest.
Despite the Introduction of dozens
of additional seats the rule of the court
was violated unintentionally and fully a
score of person stood in the rear of
the hall. Even newspaper, bodyguards
and other regular attendants, found it
difficult to procure seats.
Mr.. Moore, in his attack on the proof
submitted in support of the offer of
bride, built the corner stone of his loei-
cal argument as distinguished from his
interesting discursive subjects.
Fatal Error in Case
He declared there was a fatal error
in the prosecutions case in this respect
and the state had failed to show that
Gallagher made an offer to Nicholas
prior to actual payment of the money
which the speaker refused to admit as
a proven fact.
He argued regarding extracts from
the transcripts of prior trials, that Gal
lagher and Nicholas had both failed on
several occasions prior to the present
trial to testify that any such offer had
been ma&le, and he intimated more than
once that the prosecution had submitted
a machine-made case that showed the
marks of the tools. He charged that
Gallagher and Nicholas, through their
failure to mention this offer in prior
trials, had shown themselves guilty Of
new perjuries.
without this potent factor this alb
solute essential" said Moore, this case
falls to the ground of its own weight.
If there was no offer there was no
bribe.

He kind of hesitated.

So 1 trotted out the mackerel and

After 1 got undressed I opened the
window and leaned on the sill and
thought. thought about my new job
and what 1 could see was coming to
me in the way of work, and about
Lord James and Nate and all. And
then 1 thought of Hartley and that
