Clark then read to the jrry the total amount of work done by Clinesmith. Fredericks and others who had work ed in the mine in place of Clarence Eckert sharpening tools on the road, and it showed that the county re- ceived the best of the exchange by $50.
 It is admitted that the board told Clark in June, 1912, to stop paying cooks, and he did, but month later he returned and told the supervisors that he would quit before he would pay for any more cooks, because he was losing money on it. After talk ing it over with him the board said that they did not want to sec him lose any money and he took it for grant. cd, and so would you or l, that they would not object if he paid the cooks and he went ahead You will see that throughout the trial we have not been permitted to introduce any testimony which would prove to you, that the county at this time is paying for cooks in boarding houses run by the foremen of the road gangs, but still it is true.
 He told of Abraham going to the altar to offer his son as sacrifice to the Lord, to prove his faith and how the Lord appeared at the altar just as he was about to burn the body of his son and told him he believed in his faith and that it would not be neces- sary to offer up his son. Abraham then took ram or a goat and offered it as a sacrifice in his sons place. Clark is the goat in this case, being put up for some one else's mistakes. He concluded by saying that he hoped the children and grandchildren of the jurors in generations to come. would be able to look back and say that their ancestors had acquitted D. M Clark of these harsh, cruel charges which have been so relentlesSly pressed.
