in h spirit of hatred, not in the spir-
1t Of revenge, but that justice may be
done.'
Barnett Finishes Arguments
In concluding his arguments to the
jury, Judge Barnet stressed evidence
regarding the door being opened by a
hat pin, and endeavored to show that
it was impossible for a man to pass a
pin through the key hole and. turn the
key from the inside, because of a
brass tag at the end. He declared
that storiie,, Il private detective pro-
duced by the defense, had testified that
he was on the third floor of the hotel
with Officers Welsh and Mcdonald at
Z o'clock in the evening and tried to
open room 40. They failed to, do SO.
and Storlie, he said, went downstairs
and go a key from Mrs. Lawrence.
The state commended that the key was
secured by Welsh, but Barnett said
that Mrs. Lawrence testified that
Storlie secured it. Storlie testified, he
said, that he got the hat pin, bent it,
and then picked the lock.
File said that Bill GUNNER, a bad
man. wicked man, a debased man,
didn't have time to plan all these de
tails, toaprepare this hat pin, to open
the door ana do the other things the
state safd"hea did. -. 1fh"E '"1EmE f'-"
@iG@'t ,,al9 He Was Doing.
He Observation-Disclosures to Hag-
MS arrival at the hotel, saying that
Hagen had to approach the desk be-
fore he attracted Gummer's attention.
IF he was DOING" asked Barnett.
l"can you imagine that he committed
that crime. Do you think a man
could commit that kind Of a crime
and within five, or ten, or fifteen min
nfeS after ha' divine :" VD1,y ~nr -fha
natural instinct of se1f-preservation
would have kept him awake. Can you
conceive of = human being commit
Iting.a crime like that and tthensgoins
to sleep. Ask thattquestion pfsyour-
self. Imagine a. man oil the ap-
'pearance of this defendant commit
ting rape and then falling in a doze
within ten minutes. Can yoh imagine
q man with d Heart that would do
what this man, if he committed a
crime like that and then going to
sleep?
These acts of doing, are they in
consistent with innocence and consist
ent only with guilt? A human being
couldn't be asleep at that time. They
are only consistent with innocence,
and this case must go down.. That is
what you have to do. Answer only
that question: You are not to find
the man who committed the crime.
You are only to say that this man is
innocent, you cannot conceive
of a man committing the hsllish
crimes and then falling into a doze.''
|. He told them the only thing they
had to do was follow the law. IF
GUNNER is not guilty. there is moth
ing unusual in his going to Sleep" he
said. Put back of that the crime of
rape and murder" he asserted, land
it isn't possible for him to go to
sleep"
II beg of you" he said in closing,
that you take these facts, one by one,
and that you again ask yourself in ali
sincerity and weigh these facts that I
nave called to your attention, and
then answer the question, are the
facts consistent with guilt only and
inconsistent with innocence? I want
you to take hat test and apply it to
the case az the court shall instruct
you" -
