"Now as to his escape. Amy man OF
honor, if innocent, would stay and face
the music if no one else were involved.
That woman, his wife, whom he had led
to the altar, who had done what she
has done for him in this case, who had
let him hide behind her skirts-he
own fate and make his own getaway.
"Caleb A. Inflow, what Kind Of a
creature are youS" Mr.. Farnsworth
demanded, shaking his finger at Inflow,
who only grinned.
Inflow Is Assailed.
"Think what his escape would have
meant for her. That act itself was
more dastardly than the murder of
White. That sneaking murderer, who
killed by lying In wait, he would let her
ing tho moose about her neck. He is the
most damnable cowardly cur that was
ever prosecuted in this state. How he
can look any man in the face is beyond
my comprehension.
"Why show mercy to him? Did he
show it to Eddie White whom he beat
on the head after he was dead or NOR
tally wounded7 Did he show it to the
little girl whom he compelled to COM

wife who has gone so far for him? i

I z. A Walton for the defense said at
the beginning that he knew the jury
was weary of the long speech they had
Just heard, and he would make his ad-
dress as brief as possible. He declared
that he would speak without passion
and without prejudice. He said that he
would not snarl like a coyote, nor would
he appeal to the passion of the jury.

state who is the victim, - he said He

show Inflow guilty. but had pounced up.

manded bIs blood. He admitted that
there might have been suspicious cir.
cumstances in Inflow s case, but those
circumstances were as consistent with
innocence as with guilt.
Burglary Charge Reviewed.
He declared that the state had not
shown adequate motive in the first
place, for men do not commit great
crimes to hide lesser ones. The reverse,
he said is the rule.
Mr., Walton reviewed the burglary
charge, and demanded to know what
was communicated to Inflow in relation
to that charge as affecting White. He
reviewed Patrolman Downey's testi-
moDy and declared that Inflow had said
that White had been mistaken, and that
White would not testify In a manner
TO inJure him. SIT is impossible to con-
slider that any man would seek White IS
life because OF that testimony he might
give In that case he declared.
lie asserted that it was necessary to
show that Inflow was at OF near the
scene of the crime when it was com
mitted. This, he said, the state had
failed TO do. "The state has not
shown you that he was anywhere save
up town that night he said. "He
was not identified elsewhere. Identi-
ficatlon Is very important matter, and
the states alleged identification was
lacking in merit, incomplete, inadequate
and inaccurate. Such descriptions as
were given of the person who leaped
from that cab or who was said to have
been seen at other places, would fit ten
thousand men in Salt Lake City"
Denounces Police.
Mr.. Walton referred briefly to the
way in which the police handled the
case, declaring that the police had
made no showing against Inlow, but
bad manufactured evidence, with the
unconscious aid OF the drunken man
who was arrested while Mrs. Inflow
was being taken to, Jail in the patrol
wagon with the evidence.

as a vagary Of the Imagination. based |
upon what he had seen when he Wis |
tied the scene Of the crime the next
morning, and upon what be had read. |
He did not give TO Rollo false mo-
tive and did not believe, he said, that |
Rollo was wilfully distorting the truth,
but declared that it was all magma,

" You cannot guess q. man to the
gallows, to the riflemeu s chair or to
prison for life he declared. "Those |
things must be done by facts and by |

Coat Unidentified.
"There IS the matter of the blood on |
that coat, IF there is anything they |
love it is blood-human blood. How
hard they tried to get Herman Harms
to come through and say that this
was human blood, but Harms, true to
his own nature and to science, testi-
fled that this was mammalian blood.
