 He told how he had stood with other in the plaza on November II last, and listened to one of the most pol ished tributes to the glory of Ameri- can arms he had ever listened to from the lips of any speaker. He described the huge soldier audience, and inquired why Clark, who had made that address, had failed to tell and warn these enlisted men of the vicious peril that lay in wait for their bodies and souls in the depraved haunts of such as Nellie Campbell. Now that the damage has been done, and these soldier boys are in trouble, my distinguished opponent would have you exact tne penalty for the community's fault from these defend ants"
 .-. The State.
 If Mir. Cornick paid homage at the shrine of NIT. Clark's ability, Mfr. Clark fairly repaid the former when he opened his own argument. He re- ferred to the disclaimer of the de- fense, and gave Mr. Cornick credit for having picked up and caught on as trial lawyer in a criminal case, with lightning-lille speed. He apolo- gized for the various tiffs between counsel, which characterized the case, and excused them as the result ot continued nervous strain under which all were working.
 Regarding the opposing theories ot the manner in which Gonzales came to his end MT. Clark pointed out that good many well connected but hardly reasonable infcrences had been drawn by the defense, while the state had definitely held and proved by it's witnesses that certain cham of events had occurred. He laid con siderable stress on the extremely b,oodv condition of certain clothing belonginng to Felix Griego. This con dition. he believed, could not have been the result of Griego's act ot picking up Monico Baca after the lat ter had sustained a cut of an inch and half over the head. The knees of the drawers. he said, could not have become so thoroughly soaked in blood except by the fact the own CT and wearcr had kneeled in a veritable puddle of the crimson fluid Griego had hidden and not destroyed the clothing, as Cornick maintained he would have done to hide real ouilt because this clothing is charged to fine defendant on the books ot the supply officer. Had he gone to the suoplv office asking for new par; of drawers or a new pair of leggings if would have excited suspicion, toI he must have said he had worn out his clothing in order to get new, and under the rules, would shave beer comDelled to have produced the worr out garments. This he could mol have done had he burned them. Ra' ther relying on the snow storm tc hide all traces of the crime for
 while. he had planned to seize tho 1 first opportunity to wash them him
 self Certain attempts had been made to wash the leggings, but the smear: ,vo,IF not out. Nor could sucl
 smears have been the result ot hay ing dropped the leggings into mer' cncarnadined water, the water wifi which the wounds of Baea were sai( to have been washed.
 As for leaving their valuables Il tbe house of Nellie Campbell, he helt that these men were poor, receivet
 but $50 q month, and had families t They would not willingly have let . tbc;r kodak, watches and about S4 Il cash at that place. Of course, quarantine had been imposed, and th men could not return for their things
 But the quarantine did not preven them sending any of thousand } workers and others at the tort 10 these articles, had not their sense : guilt overpowered them,
 In closing, MT Clark pointed ou . the' absurdity of the complaint ma from Nellie Campbcll's joint, durinI
 his peace day talk. Such alluslon { were not only out of place, but the 1 would give the impression he though ', soldiers needed such warnings ill or der to prevent them sullying the unI : form of the United States in debau r chery. - He called attention to the fact tha v since taking office, the present coun r tv attorney has had Campbell Satel . incarceratcd in the county jail, whcr C she could not possibly bring any sol c diers or others into trouble.
