yet here is the paper containing your
admission made In the presence Of your
attorney, Monday morning, April 18th.
that you didn't leave the factory until
10.
Gentlemen. talk to me about sad spec
tacles, but of all the sad spectacles that
I have witnessed throughout this case
I don't know who did II. 7 don't know
who's responsible, and hope that III
60 to my grave in ignorance OF who 1t
was that brought this little kerns girl,
the daughter of a man that works foH
Montag. into this case. to prove his
alibi for his red-handed, murderer, who
killed that little glr; to protect his repu-

race and religion, ...
Jurors are sworn, and His Honor Will
charge you, you have got the right to
take into consideration the department,
the manner. the bearing. the reason
ableness of what any witness swears
to. and II any man in this courthouse,
any honest man, seeking to get at the
truth, looked at that little girl, her
manner, her bearing, her attitude, her
actions, her connections with Montag,
and don't know that she. like that little
Bauer boy, had been riding In Montag's
automobile | am at loss to under
stand your mental operations
But If Frank locked the factory door
al ten minutes past one, " that be true,
how in the name OF goodness did she
ever sec him at Alabama and Broad
at 1.10? Mark you. she had never seen
him but one time: had never seen hin
but one time. and with the people DIP
there on the street to see the parade,
waiting for her COMPANIONS, this daugh-
ter of an employe OF Mortag comes
into this presence and tells YOU the
unreasonable, absurd story. the story
that's in contradiction to the story
made by Frank. which has been intro.
duced In evidence and Will be out with
you, that she saw that fellow Up there
at Jacobs.
Now, let's pass on TO this perjury
charge that Mr. Arnold has so flippant-
~ made; let's consider that little.
You saw these witnesses. you saw their
manner, theirN attitude, their interest
one Of those ladies from the factory
over there wanted to die for this man
Frank-she was almost hysterical
When. when, gentlemen. did you ever
Of an employer that they weres willing
to lay down and die, IL that friendship
was purely platonc? know enough
about human nature to know that this
willingness 10 die, this anxiety to put
her neck In moose that ought TO go
around this man, was born of some
thing more than just platonic friend
ship: don't you?
Whenever you see a woman willing
10 lie down and die for a man not re-
lated to her. who occupies the relation
simply toward her, that OF an employer,
you may know and YOU can gamble on
II that thnrn ic hing Of ho
ordinary platonic love. 1t must be a
passion born of something beyond the
relation that ought to obtain between
a married man and a single woman
employer and employc.
We have had remarkable ilIustra-
tion here of all kinds Of facts sworn to,
II you had asked me IL we could have
found people In town who could have
done it, oh. me, ] wouldn't have believed
it. Take that little Bauer boy-the man
who before he had that ride with Sig
Montag-the man who was so anxious
