FOR THE

TRIES TO TALK JUROR OUi OF
BELIEF THAT CASE AGAINST
DARROW WAS A FRAME-UP.

G0lding, assistant District Attor-
ney Joseph w. Ford in the states
opening argument to the trial of
Clarence S. barrow for alleged
bribery, today attempted to talk
Goiding out of the belief that the
case against barrow was Frame
up. When examined for jury duty,
Golding admitted suspicion that
the case might be frame-up.
tMr. Golding," said Ford, you
can't acquit Darrow without con-
victing honest old George Lock-
wood, veteran of the Civil war,
of perjury. You must choose be-
tween the defendant and Lock-
wood, on whose features God has
placed the stamp of honesty"
The argument was punctuated
by frequent Interruptions by Dar-
row and Defense Counsel Appel,
who declared the prosecutor was
stating facts not in the evidence.
Judge George II. Hutton had
made arrangements for seating To-
cal attorneys in the courtroom
during the argument, admission
being by card only, thereby avoid
ing rush for seats and the court
room was uncomfortably crowded.

The first of the victims to the
law entered the death chamber at
1850 o'clock and was pronounced
dead at 5:O5 a. m; the seventh
entered the chamber at 6:04 and
was dead at 6:14 o'clock. The
authorities pronounced the execu-
lions the most skillful and fea-
tureless ever held.
The victims of the legal killing
were John Collins, a negro who
killed New York policeman, JOS
eph Ferronone, who cut his wife's
throat because she refused 10
lead life of shame, and Angelo
Guiesta, Lorenso Cali. Felipino

TO BUILD MUNICIPAL
STREET RAILWAY LINE

LET the city own this line anl
/ believe we can force transfers,
said Mills.
Mills figured that $4,000
ought to pretty near build the
whole line ready for cars. He
looked for good business from t.ia
start. The city will have tracks
laid over the 18th street bridge
when it is done. The commission
ers will hardly be likely to turn
them over to private corporations
If they can extend the line over
the tideflats and get a city line.
1t will require Transforming the
alternating current to direct, but
this is an easy matter. Besides
the city has sale for considerable
direct current which it now has to
purchase from the T. r. g. p. COM
pany.
