WITHOUT trying 10 TIRE out tHe jury Will
long argument"
Two Arguments On Each Side.
There were two speeches on each
side yesterday. ]. R. Tally spoke first
for the state. His speech was the
shortest delivered. He emphasized the
evidence which showed intent and
malice aforethought. After his speech
he left the courtroom.
s. E. Travis spoke first for the de-
tense. He did not use up the entire
time allowed each speaker. He out
lined clearly the defendants plea OF
self defense and attempted to show
that there was no evidence which
proved beyond a reasonable doubt pre-
meditation on the part of the accused
He also attacked the speech Of Mr.
Tally and attempted to tear down his
argument.
Judge Stone Deavours, for the de
tense confined himself almost entirely
to the law, emphasizing that every pre-
sumption is In favor Of the accused
that the burden of the proof is on the
state to show beyond any reasonable
doubt and to moral certainty that the
killing was with malice aforethought
and not In Justifiable self defense.
R. 8. Hall closed for the state. He
made an impassionel appeal to the
jury and used up the entire time al
lotted to him.
The Jury had the case at o'clock.
