The Arguments.
BY the time of the opening of the
afternoon session every available inch
of space in the courtroom was packed
with spectators. Every seat was
taken and crowds were standing
around each entrance and in front of
the bar railing. while within the bar
rail the space usually allotted to mem
bers of the bar was crowded thick
with spectators. Representatives of
the press who. came late found that
their chairs had mysteriously van
ished The crowds at the trial here
tofore had been for the most part wo-
men but at the afternoon session the
men predominated, all appearing
eager to hear the arguments of the
distinguished counsel, who were to
close the case for the respondent and
for the State.
It was 2S9 p NJ. when Congress
man McGillicuddy commenced the
closing argument for the defence He
urged the jury at the outset to put
aside sympathy and pass fairly and
intelligently upon the evidence sub
mitted. The jury was here to find
cut the truth as the evidence present
ed It,
THE defendant is innocent until she
is proved to be guilty The burden of
the proof of guilt is on the State. Her
innocence follows her all through the

One person couldn't put the moose over

trial until the State has proved her
guilt beyond all reasonable doubt.
What was the motive? The State
Will claim that the cause was jealousy,
that il was jealousy that impelled
Elsie Raymond to take the life of this
ether girl Where was there anything
in the life of Bert Raymond that
shows anything to produce such jeal-
ousy? Trivial things had been brought
in by the State TO show that there
was jealousy. like Bert Raymond and
Matte Hackett going to husking to-
gether as boy and girl, or Bert taking
her TO the train or to- her home when
ordered to do SO by his employer. If
Bert had been caught where Carroll
Hopkins was caught, in her room.
with sthe wife crying outside of the
door, there might have been some
cause for jealousy
Mr. McGillicuddy attacked the credi
bility of Mrs. SWANS testimony in re-
gard to the threat alleged to have
been made by the respondent that if
Matte Hackett ever crossed her path
she would kill her Mrs. Miiliken
had quoted Elsie Raymond as saying
that Matte Hackett didn't like her
very we'll. That was fiimsy testi-
mony with which to prove malice.
The testimony of Ethel Hackett that
Bert attempted to hug her was taken
up. He denied that in his statement
of 1905 and said that he only put his
arm on the back of the seat and did
not attempt TO hug her. DO you
suppose Bert Raymand would hug Il
wonan when he had arranged for his
wife to meet him along the road?
Even if Bert did hug Ethel how could
ii cause Elsie to be jealous of Matte,

| insanity as a motive" counsel went
en-, but there is nothing to prove that
Mrs. Raymond was in any abnormal
mental condition at this time
The evidence of the woman goinS
up Nickerson hill was next taken up.
If it could be shown that it was Elsie
Raymond going up the hill she should
be able to show the reason. Not one
of the States witnesses says it was
Elsie Raymond, Mrs Manter only goes
so far as to say that her impression
was that it was Mrs. Raymond, as
she glanced around on going up the
steps about o'clock Other Witness
es thought it might have been a man
in woman's clothing. Mrs. Manter
did not see her face and told the
court that she didn't know whether
the woman looked large in the sense
of being large as Elsie Raymond's
condition was then. The identifica-
ton of the woman going up Nickerson
hill as put in by the State was abso-
lutely unreliable. The State will not
try to show that the woman was Elsie
Raymond, they will talk about 1t with
some ingenious Theory
The tracks in the cornfield We're to
be expected on the day after the muir
der. The State had contended until
the very last of the case that they
were the tracks of No, shoe. 1t
has been shown before the jury that
Mrs. Raymond wears a AZ shoe.
Counsel pointed out that the measure
| ment of the tracks had been taken by
Deputy Sheriff Brown and afterwards
| lost Why should Elsie Raymond wear
a So shoe if ~ shoe was plenty
large enough? One of the neighbors
did at that time wear a No. 6 shoe.
was it anything strange that there
should oe No. tracks around there?
The question of the burning of the
tan shoes was alluded to- and counsel
argued that it made very little differ
ence whether the shoes were burned
before or after the murder If they did
MT fit the tracks.
Would Bert Raymond tell of his
own accord that the shoes were burned
if they had anything to do with the
crime. if there was any guilt attached
to the burning of the shoes?" Counsel
admitted that Gertrude Raymond S
testimony was something strange, and
he explained il by faulty recollection
of the young mind of a girl 10 years
old at the time of the crime. At one
time she signed her name TO writ
ten statement that was different from
the one made on the stand. Mrs. Mill
liken says that Elsie wore the tan
shoes about week before the muir
der, at the we'll and she didn't see her
wear them again after that. which
corresponds with the time that Mrs.
Raymond says she burned the shoes. =
Counsel attacked Miss Simmons, the
last witness introduced by the State.

ing the shoes on the day of the muir

the stand indicated her unreliability.
