and deepened as his listeners sue
cumbed to the mellowness OF his
voice and the humaneneSs OF his
argument. His summing up of the
defense of Glenn Hobin, charged
by the state with the murder OF
a fellowman will live as long as
the memory Of any one who
heard it.
There was nothing melodramatic
about it. Leaning easily against
the railing, he spoke TO the jury
as though the II were one man.
He spoke as man to man. In his
every tone and attitude, they
could sense that he knew they
would agree with him. He was
Just painting the picture for them
so they would be justified in doing
what he knew they were going TO
do free Glenn Hobin of the ridicu-
lous charge of numbering a
drunken. brawling, no-good tramp
GOOD-NATURED FELLOW
And he changed the caricature
Of a man who was Glenn Holm
into a registering but good-natured
fellow who had taken more than
any man can stand from this
drunken beast. He'd have gone on
taking it if his manhood hadn t
asserted itself. Then he had done
what any man would do. He had
killed his tormentor.
Why did he have to do il? Well,
he had Hobin blood in him, hadn't
he? Any Holm who could have
fallen as low as Glenn had fallen
must, of necessity, be subnormal
and. therefore, not responsible.
Look how life had pressed him
down From a proud member OF
the Hobin clan TO miserable
squatter living in shack that he
didn't even own.
1t had gotten so that every
Holm was ashamed Of him, as well
they might have been. But when
the pressure proved great enough,
he had done what any Hobin, what
any man would have done.
VICIOUS CHARACTER
Let them turn and look at this
Perley Moon. He was vicious

with numerous Jail sentences for
offenses ranging from petty theft
to criminal assault.
The jury agreed with him when
he brought out that Perley Moon

Mapping his case. Barron saw
that il must rest technically on
self defense and mental irrespon-
sibility at the moment of the
crime.
NO GOOD, ANYHOW
But his real argument would
have to be the justification of the
murder on the implied grounds
that Perley Moon had been no
good anyhow and that Glenn had
conferred a boon on the COM
munity by killing him.
His first step had been to pick
from the panel only talesmen who
could be influenced to believe this.
And he had done very we'll with
the aid of John Dances indiffer-
ence. His glance fell upon his
opponent. Dance resembled any OF
the jurymen as one pea does an
other. being tall. gaunt and

the year advances fewer and fewer
questions are asked as to where
material can be found. Instead of
questioning the children are using
