SETS ALL IN NOTION
There is such a community of in
terest between these monopolies that
any attack made upon one of them
alarms and sets them all in motion
In this particular fight they seek TO
frighten the farmers into the belief
that their interests are especially Icl-
periled by the reciprocity agreement,
and they hope in that way to make an
alien of the farmer

view to clearing the atmosphere OF

the probability that another night

In the charge to the jury, Judge Hunt
said:
Cooke is, only on trial for embezzle-
ment, and not for the commission OF
any other offense against the state or
the laws of morality. Testimony as to
other such alleged offenses is of
weight only as affecting the credit
ility of Cookies testimony.

I'm considering the testimony OF
Warmer and Mrs. Ford, the jury must
consider the fact that by the same te5
timony these witnesses make ther-
selves equally guilty with him"
NO ARGUMENTS MADE.
The ending of a sensational trial
came late yesterday when attorneys
representing the prosecution and the
defense, announced that they would
forego arguments to the jury.
The decision of the attorneys crea.e1
a surprise, as 1t was thought that each
side would attempt, by argument. to
reconcile the conflicting testimony
that has been brought out.
Cooke yesterday gave practically the
entire testimony upon which the de-
fense rests. He denied that he had
ever stolen a dollar from the Big Four
or committed dishonest act In his
life.
