THE PURPOSE WAS PLAIN

Townley papers are insisting that Townley had q legal
right to address the jury which later convicted him in
the trial at Jackson, MINI.
In ruling on this question Judge Dean admitted that
the question was a close one, and that authorities could
be found on both sides. He believed that his own view
was the correct one. and ruled accordingly. It his rul-
ing was erroneous it will be so found by the supreme
court. But, aside from the legal rights of the case, there
was>but one reason why Townley desired to address that
jury. 1t was in order that he could influence it's mem
bers by making statements to them in an argument
which he dared not make on the< witness stand under
oath. That was the nub Of the whole situation. Town1ey's
attorney declared that his client would appear as q wit
ness. There was no good reason why he should not
have done SO II he were an innocent man. But the trial
closed without Townley having been, called, and no testi-
mony from him went into the record. Had he been
called he would have been obliged to confne himself
to the facts for fear of prosecution for perjury, and
Towniey never confines himself to the facts. He would
have been subject to cross examination, and under that
examination he would have been required to answer
questions which it might not be convenient for him to
answer. Because he was afraid he failed to appear on
the stand, and sought, instead, the opportunity of con-
vincing, the jury by making a stump speech.

Let him who will, now boast his skill,

Though rich men turn to mansions
fine,
The4r homes no happier are than

The roof above me shelters me
When outside blows the storm;
The fire I make for comforts sake
CLOVIS red and keeps me warm;
Though rich mems fires are flaming

They cannot, warmer be than T..
I sit me down to simple fare
And find its flavor sweet.
And when / dine. this thought is

I've sall that 1 can eat:
Like me the rich man also stops
Who's had his fill Of mutton chops.
Untroubled Is my rest at night
And all my dreams are fhir;

And drop my weight Of care;
And when upon my couch t lie
