tcontinued from page one>

something to the effect that if the at
torneys had personal differences they
should settle them outside the court
room
Anticipating interesting information
on the new district attorney s attitude
regarding white slavery and statutory
offenses a crowd of spectators fol-
lowed the trial all day yesterday
awaiting McCarn's address TO the jury.
II came late in the afternoon.
viii Protect the Child.
Some of Jeff McCarn's statements
along this line were about as follows:
= 1T rhas been. intimated to me that
certain offenses cannot be punished
in this territory. If that. time ever
comes / am going to resign from my
office. .@ss., -
~ As long as / am in this community
L propose to stand before the juFies
to protect the weak from the strong;
10 protect the school children from the
.rayages of the leeherous beasts prowl
ing In the country, the child from the
lustful man who would ruin her.
Il am not appealing on behalf Of the
5WOt1uh OIO VAhO"6A oh1 9SAOAo SAoucA
to know better and to protect herself.
1t is for such children as the one in
this case. young, weak an orphan:
perhaps. as has been shown here, al
ready debauched and ruined because
she lacked protection in the first
place-it is for such as this one l
make my appeal to the men of this
community and to you.
I'VE don't propose to be put to the
necessity of challenging any juror be-
cause he belongs to a particular race;
we shall challenge jurors only be-
cause of personality. Our fight for
the children is to be waged among
all classes and races and we shall ask
the decent mans, support"
Andrade INTERRUPTS Mccarn.
Assistant q. S. District-attorney C.
%. Biting made the governments
opening address to the jury. Attorney
Andrade then spoke for the defense
and jeff McCarn gave the closing
argument. AndFade's first Interrupt
ton was to. complain that McCarn
was introducing new points in his dis
cHssion, which had not been touched
upon either by Biting or Andrade,
which he asserted was contrary to the
rules laid down for court practise.
The court ruled that .McCarn might
proceed and that if he did take up GER
tain new points Andrade would be
given the privilege Of a brief reply,
the district attorney to have final re-
buttal. 50 L.. : liz ..
At the close of earns argument,
a very able and forceful address that
held the close attention of his hearers
throughout. the court asked Andrade
if he cared toerepls, and the latter re-
piled: -. - 49,. - -. ...-- - ! =.
me, Your Honor, we do not feel Mr..
McCarn has hurt our case any"
The defendants, Giovanni A. Long,
Pauline Hayes, who is now Long S
wife, and William Knock, were &C
cused of taking a 12-year-old girl. from
the Kakaakos school to their home.
where she was detained for a, day and
q night. All the testimony showed
that no assault had been committed,
however. It was shown also that the
girls brother-in-law was reputed TO
have caused her ruin.
Under the white slave act the gov
eminent sought to convict the three
defendants ON the ground that they
had transported the child from one
,nlaAe to another with immoral intent,
holding it was not necessary to show
actuak immoral relations to convict.
The entire effort was to prove beyond
reasonable doubt that immoral intent
was sh,R wn in their, actions.
