thrilling incidents, when barrow faced
the jury at the conclusion Of attorney
Rogers's argument, to make the final
plea in his own behalf.
At the outset he informed the jury
that he would not appeal to their sym
pathies. against which they had been
warned by the district attorney, and
there was no note of supphcation in
his opening remarks Instead, the Chi
cago lawyer poured torrents of wrath
and denunciation upon those whom he
declared had plotted to destroy him.
From an arraignment of his enemies,
barrow went briefly into his career as
a friend of the working classes and
thence into an analysis of the evidence
produced against him to prove the
charge that he had bribed George n.
Lockwood, q. prospective juror in the
Mcnamara case
Touches All Sides of the Case.
Throughout the three hours con
sumed by him today, he touched upon
every phase of the case and ran the
gamut of emotions in his plea No man
or organization involved in his prose-
cution was immune from his denuncia-
ton.
Assistant district attorney W ].
Ford, who sat within reach, was made
the object of repeated floods of invec-
tive. district attorney Fredericlzs and
detective Burns were termed the tools
of the steel trust and the National
Erectors' association, designated by
barrow as the arch conspirator against
him because of his Iabors for the work
ing man, was bitterly assailed as an
enemy of society. Collectively all were
denounced as cruel a band of cut
threats as ever pursued a man since
the world was born"
There was a mad rush for the room
when the doors were opened and men
and women alike were roughly handled
by the officers in the effort to preserve
order
barrow declared he was not being
prosecuted for bribery. but because he
had led in the battle of organized
labor
Says He Has Stood For Labor.
I have committed one crime" he
said, which is like the crime against
the Holy Ghost which cannot be for
given. I have stood for the weak and
the poor. I have stood for the men
who toll"
The enemies of labor. he charged,
had Ions sought to get him out Of the
way.
They would stop my voice. which.
from the time I was a babe, my father
and mother taught me never to raise
except for justice and freedom and in
the cause of the weS k and the poor.
They would stop II with the peniten-
tiary.

Oh, you district attorneys! You know
not what you do. Let me say that If
you can succeed in placing me be-

more ominous and eloquent than any
word that my poor lips could ever
frame. And do you think that you
could destroy the hopes of the poor and
oppressed if you did? Don't YOU know
that upon my persecution and destruc
ton there would arise 10000 men ADLER
than I have been. willing to sacrifice
more than I have sacrificed in a right
eous cause, and these men would carry
his banner to the end %
Why Are Associates Immune:
Enumerating all TO whom immunity
had been extended in the effort to con-
vict him. barrow asked why it was his
associates in the Mcnamara case had
said, was because Davis lived in Los
Angeles and IL was not the intention
OF the authorities to prosecute anyone
in this city.
Bert H. Franklin and John R Har-
rington. former employees of barrow
and the states chief witnesses against
him, were assailed with invective. Oar
row declared they had perjured them
seelves on the stand in order to. gain
freedom for themselves
Referring to lords denunciation of
him as being morally responsible for

of them are willing to bet on their
chances, but they will not venture

The prospect is that the Cubs
will rule slight favorites because of

Cubs Stronger in Fielding.
The Cubs undoubtedly are
stronger in fielding and batting
than their South Side rivals. And
this season. all things considered,
they seem to be the equals of Calls

peculiarly his own. and he will go

By Bill Bailey.

THAT'S all this talk about
w choking the bat to hit the
pitching of the modern
twirler?
You have heard and read the
stories Ty Cobb is one Of those
who remarks that you have to
choke II you expect to get the base
hits.
Take look at the Boston Red
Sox and you are at least likely to
have some doubts on the subject,
You NAV not become convinced that
choking of the bat isn't necessary.
But you are bound to admit that
there are two sides TO the argu-
ment. Because there are just two
Of the Red Sox regulars who choke
their bats.
The lads who line them hard and
far are the fellows who grip the
bat at the very end and then take a
good, healthy swing.
AMONG those who do not choke
illtI DdtS are NluEEtIS
Yerkes, Speaker, Lewis, Gardner,
Wagner and Cary. When Stahl is
in the game the count is to 2
against the choking of the war club.
The pitcher isn't counted, but when
Wood is on the mound the fellows
who grip the club near the handle
have another vote. Because Wood
also stands up there and whales at
the ball getting all the power he
can behind his drive and grasping
said drive producer so near the
handle that his left hand is on the
knob
You know there Is a theory In
baseball that choking the bat is
more scientific, Those who favor
that method claim that the pitch
ers OF today break their curves SO
quickly that the fellow who srasps
his bat at the very end and swings
Is sure to make a show Of himself
They claim that by choking the
bat the slugger can hit quicker
and while he may not get the dis
lance that the long swinger does
that he will get so MANY more
oase hits that he viii be the gamer
IN the end.
