| "Now, then, he comes in and he
sees his father and his father gives
him 500 that the old gentleman re-
ceived from Sam Fullerton, that Sam
Fullerton got from the Second Ma
tional Bank in st. Paul that came
and was charged to the fire marshal's
department. Identification of it was
taken and given to Bert Smyth for
the purpose of giving it to this de-
fendant,-a doctor bill, the honorable
counsel will argue. Where is YOUR
doctor bill? The defendant sets out
to collect his doctor bill at the same
time that Mike Davis was in town.
The defendant phones to Smyth at
the same time laying out plans for
the Puposky affair. Where is YOUR
doctor bill? And to support state
ments they brought in whom? A man
by the name of Lydick, a man who
had money to buy land. He spent
whole day in the saloons of Bemidii
and, according to his own testimony.
spent 20 minutes in Larson's saloon.
He could not remember the other sa-

4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon The
hour and place was fixed, the tele-
phone records prove the call from
Dumas to Smyth at Puposky. The
state is still party to this trans
action. The fact is important. Mr..
Smyth comes to town on Wednesday
morning, the 18th day of June, and
meets his father. Wasn't he a gen.
tleman? You know him. l will ad-
nit, personally, that the only thing
against Mr.. Smyth was the fact that
he has spent a good deal of his time
in Mr.. Bailey's office.
IF they had tried to get your son
and turn him out a criminal wouldn't
you have taken a little interest? And
wouldn't you have had some little
interest in what was going on? And
Smyth did. I will admit that he was
proud of it too, because he had rea-
son to be proud that from that bows
mother he had drawn some qualities
that could not be destroyed and
would not permit him to be entrapped
into a criminal life.

has been q little different from the
life history of this defendant. The
conditions surrounding it are some
what harder, somewhat harsher. He
came here for work with his wife and
expected to- get job. True, he had
worked in places where these men
knew him. Dumas knew him, so
Martin Behan says, but there is in
this case not the slightest bit of evil
dence that Martin Behan himself had
ever been connected with any Grim
lnal transaction prior to this time.
He came here for work. He found
ne could not get any but that is not
the purpose that brought Martin Be-
han to Remidji. The defendant did
not bring him here for that purpose.
He did not go to Cass Lake and take
work in Tedford's saloon. He start
ed him out on an entirely different
course.

the cross examination of Alvin Ha-
zen, promising to help him somehow
and somewhere if he would testify
that Martin Behan was drunk and
went to sleep in Larson's saloon and
didn't know what took place there.
! "Gentlemen, this is an American
trial. The sheriff has told you in
words that are clear to you their con-
duct and I am not going outside the
record of this case either. You who
know Al. Hazen know that's true.
Now then, that's why tell you men
that Martin Behan was not drunk
in John Larson's saloon and did not
go to sleep in there to such an extent
that he did not know what took

Cites Revolver Episode.
Il want to tell you another thing
to show that Martin Behan was not
intoxicated, that is his testimony rel
ative by that re- Oliver. Martin Be-
han says, and so did Smyth, that
Mike Davis said he wanted a revolver
and this defendant said that he would
go and get him revolver. Martin
Behan says he was gone about Is
minutes and came back-that the de-
fendant said the gun cost $25, and
Mike Davis said he would not pay
SIS for any gun and that DR.. Dumas
took it back. Now, then, how did
Martin Behan know how much that
revolver cost unless he heard it. Mr..
Battles says that DR.. Dumas came
in and got gun and that in about
Is minutes he brought it back and
got his money, on the plea that it
didn't suit the man for whom he
bought it. Now, then, what was the
name of the man it didn't suit
where was he? Martin Behan said
the revolver did not suit Mike Davis
and that's the man it didn't suit"
A summary Of the remainder of Mr..
James remarks from this point were
printed In the Monday issue of the
Pioneer.

tells you. They ask for room. Du-
mas had couple of men along with
MIN. Pretty soon along comes those
two men, Mike Davis and Martin Be-
han. Mike Davis goes in first and
then Martin Behan. Now, then, for
what purpose was the defendant at
tempting to collect a doctors bill?
Was Mike Davis there to assist in
collecting that doctor bill? Why did
the defendant bring in Mike Davis at
that meeting? Dumas knew this man
we'll enough to wave his hand at him.
Behan Story.
Martin Behan, poor Martin Be-
han. The saddest thing in all this
case, the veil of sorrow that touches
the hearts of every mother. He tes-
titled at the preliminary hearing, so
weak that physician had to take
him from the stand, with a disease
that few men recover from, taken
care of by the state later and sent to
sanitarium at Pine City. There is
sad story, man who weighed 13O
pounds at that time and now weighs
about 16O.
Replies to Talk About Sister.
"By the way, gentlemen lest for

woman. The counsel insinuated that
John Benner had taken her automo-
bile riding and would desire to leave
in your minds the impression that
she was something that she ought
not to be. You saw her on the wit
ness stand. She later appeared in
this case in another connection.
''The counsel will argue that Mar
tin Behan's testimony was some dif-
ferent from his testimony at the pre-
liminary examination and here. At
least the counsel did not prove what
his testimony was at the preliminary
examination. They have not proved
to you that the testimony was any
