NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-In it's
weekly statement the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York showed a
reserve ratio of S2.4 per cent against
S1.2 per cent a week ago and 77.3O
per cent a year ago. This strength
ening gave further evidence that
Tuesdays frightened selling had no
real foundation other than a tempo
rary impairment Of the market
technical position.
This realization was followed by
a burst of strength in the whole
list in the early dealings today. Cen
eral Motors scored only a fractional
gain to 1 o, in response to the decla-
ration Of a IS extra dividend, but
dupont, which will receive more
than $6,500,00 from this extra dis
bursement, jumped 6 points to 254.

Trading maintained a rapid pace
in the late morning and further adj
vances occurred in various depart
ments despite the heavy profit
taking in the motors and other re
cent features. General Motors sold
off to 1881, off 21a from its early

the selling on good news and was
looked upon as perfectly natural
development.

All Counts Proved

All Counts Proved
"The indictment against these men
contained four counts. We maintain
we've proved every one of those four
counts and we only have to prove
one-just one.

disregard of consequences refuses

"This takes CUTS to do this.

from the dying statement.
There's been a great display in
this case about ono point. They've
ranted and raved about it, questioned

about it. But they can't say She

hours to live" Remy turned to
another juryman.
"And you shoot him in the heart,
He dies instantly. You are
murderer"
Remy was reaching his conclusion.
This defense is broken, in fact 1t
never existed. OF all their wit
nesses, there isn't one whose inter
ests are not in common with d. c.
Stephenson. They visited him while
he was in Jail, paraded around with
his gang-that personal little coterie,
just like a gang of fawning iackals,
who thought they were the law IN
Indiana.
Knowing that she was going To
her eternity, Madge Oberholtzer
spoke the truth.
This is not the case OF Madge

This is not the case Of George Ober-

is not the case Of Matilda Oberholt-

II don't believe D. c. stejhenson,

Remy's final thrust.

had taken poison, Ira Holmes, at

and Earl Klinck, declared Thursday,
in final argument in the mems trial
on charges of numbering the girl.
1T is a plain case of suicide, just
as Coroner Paul f. Robinson held"
Holmes declared. Referring to Miss
Oberholtzer's dying statement.
Holmes pointed out the fact that
Miss Oberholtzer had kept her move
secret.
'They gave her one bottle of
milk and then another just as any
good doctor would have done. The
doctors say, and have said it re-
peatedly, that the injuries could

was appealed to. wonder why.
Now, did Madge Oberholtzer meet
ID. =. Stephenson for the first time
at the Governors ball?"
Reviews Testimony
Attorney Holmes then reviewed de-
fens testimony, witness by witness,
pointing out and emphasizing that
she was acquainted before Jan. II.
This is not Madge Obermoltzer's
statement" Holmes again stressed to
the jury, but is the statement Of
the paid lawyer"
The defense attorney then began
to hammer on the fact that Madge
could have summoned aid innumer-
able times had she so desired.
Here, in this so-called dying
declaration, it says she tried to call
her home on the phone, but could
not get an answer. What was to
prevent her from calling the police
and saying, I am here in this house,
a prisoner. Send me help. But she
did not do that" Numbered Holmes.
No Cutlery
ut is evidence, gentlemenof the
jury, that the party went up Wash
ington ST., eight or nine blocks. If
Madge Oberholtzer had mind enough
to remember and set out all the de-
tails in this alleged declaration, why
did she not make cutlery? Why did
she not make an cutlery in the

1t was the first time the term
Reasonable doubt" has been given
much prominence since it was
heard so much during the impan-
Cling of the jury.
Holmes then gave more argu-
ments as to why Marge was volun-
tary member of the party.
''NOw, this porter saw no resist
ance. He saw this man take off
her shoes. He saw no sign all was
not well. She walked from the
Hammond station to the hotel, at
least a block. She stood over by
the elevator while this man regis

Attorney Holmes laid Madge's
plight at her own door.

"She didn't ask any one for help.
She didn't make any outcry. She
didn't tell any one anything had
happened to her. She did send a tele-
gram and this statement says Mr..
Stephenson forced her to write 1t,
but later she went out on the street
to buy millinery and poison. If that

the. defense had no defense, and de-
clared the State had proved its
charge of murder. both actual and
psychological.
He did not mention the death
penalty and it was taken as an in
dication that the State will be salts
fled with life Imprisonment, if that
is the jurys verdict.
Resuming his argument, after the
noon recess, Remy asked, IF you
had a perfectly good defense, would
you remain quiet about it? If there
is a defense in this case it has not
yet been disclosed"
Remy declared that the defense
witnesses were "all members of the
same gang. They're all indebted to
D. c. Stephenson. There isn't a dis
interested witness in the whole lot.
''If there is a conflict in the
testimony and you, as jurOss, must
decide the truth, remember they
were subpOenaed by LOsey, Inter.

StraidOr, and shown up by the
State"
Remy seized the record book OF
the Indiana State Farm, containing
official notations on the date prison
ers are received.
Regular Fools
Regular records, made by regular
men, in their regular line of duty,
and they made regular fools out of
der how all three Of those deputy
sheriffs made the same mistake, Mr..
Holmes, after you had interviewed
them?" Remy declared.
"That statement of Madge Ober-
hotter stands uncOntradicted and
undenied, because they knew bet
ter than to attack il. There was
no defense and they knew it. These
two attorneys, Inman and Holmes,
looked like a couple of ELIAS cross
ing the ice.
"They say, why did she go to his
house?' Say, gentlemen, this man
fooled some Of the best people in
Indianapolis and in the State of In
diana. 1t isn't the first time he's
fooled anybody.
"How did she go through the sta
ton? There were myriads Of ways
it could have been done.
"Why didn't she use the tele-
phone in the hotel? A poison far
more vh'ulent than bichlOride of
mercury had entered her soul. She
had lost everything she had to
live for"
Remy then turned to a number
Of State and Federal citations in an
effort to drive home in the minds
Of the jurymen the contention of the
State that murder actually was COM
mitted.
The Citations
Some of the citations follow:
eff an injury caused by a de-
PENDANT causes death, he is re-
spOnsible even though subsequent
mortal wound occurs, even If the
deceased inflicts the final mortal
wound.
1.-THE force causing person to
seek to take his life may be a force
directed against the persons body or
mind.
Although no stroke may be
struck, it remains murder.
"a person may be guilty Of murder
through failure to act. The omis-
sion to act, just as much as the act
itself, may cause murder. Remy
referred to several Canadian de-
cisions on the same subject.
II say TO you Gentlemen, Madge
OberhOltZer would be alive today
had it not been for the unlawful
acts of these men. They had no
defense, so they just had to pick
up a big fistfuI of mud in each

Stephenson leaned back in his
chair, brushed his tousled hair with
his hands and jawned.
