Were not tho Goyernmont Iawyors right in ac- conting the testimony of these iuformors, and sifting tho mattor to tho very bottom, since most of the distillers’ books had beeu dostroyed on tho declaion of tho Court Iast fall that tho distillors’ bovks must bo pro- duced? Mr, Boutetl donied Mr. Storrs’ aesortion that Mr. Ayor had appearod as an apologist for tha Government witnceses. Thi wae the first case brought before tha jury, aud the learned counsol had felt it his duty to aay what bo did about accomplices, being borno out by tho highest jndicial opinion in Ungland and tho exporionce of revonue mon in this coun- try, Having dono thie, it came to tha paint whore tho jury woro calted upon to do thoir duty —tho tina! duty in the one, He thought the fy, wore satisfied tiat the purpoas of Socretary ristow and those whom ho had omployod was to Ret at the trnth, and to got st the men most truly criminal, so that avory man should rocoive the just mood of puntahment, Ho trusted that, whon the jury went homo, it would be with tho aenso of a duty woll porformod. MN. ATAXFORN ‘Mr, Bontell sat down snd Mr, Stanford took up the case for tho dofonse, Ho drow attontion to the fact that the main foaturo of tho caso was chat tho law, under which tho proscoution was bad, as but a part of tho syatem of collecting the revenue to be usod in tho paymont of tho exponses of the Government, It was nots part of tho syatom thatoxisted in tho intercats of good morals, This was «# porjury case or s bur- glery case, Wishout the peculiar Institution of tho atatute a man had the sama right to mako whisky and putitin tho market as he hail to make boots and shoes. Tho distinction which existed waa simply by the force of a atatuto. In reforring to tho charactor of tho testimony, Mr. Stanford sald there woro threo classes of witnesses—for the Govornment there wera two elaases, porjurora and mep having guilty knowl- edgo; and on the part of the defonso. mon who wore naither involved ono way or another. Ho did not think Mir. Boutell balped tho matter any by dovoting the largor part of bis speech to an apology for tho charactor of tha Govornment's witnosses, ‘The Govorament counsel wore sup- posed to represent 40,000,000 of pooplo, bit did thoy do thia? He thought not when thore saa promium put on porjured testimony, aod ho thought tho cry wonid go up from froo people overywhore, ‘ You don't rep- resent ue," Ar, Stanford dwalt upon THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT OFFICERS to invade o man’s businesa office, nelzo evory- thing, bis books and pspors, and take hig do- fenge out of bishands, ‘Tho sway of the Goy- ernment was simply absolute, and yot it was 9 singular fact that nota singlo lino in the Gov- ornment books of Patiman and Jtuah would boar out tuo assertions of tho Governmont witnosuos. Tho Government had possession of tho commorclal books of the firm, and yet they wors uangensrous and unfair enough to call upon the defense to producothem, ‘The epoaker wanted the Gov- ernmont to bring in the books anit inspoct them, and sco if thoro was any ovidenco of irregularity upon them, It was atso singular that mon who talked of duplicate stamps, men who confussod their own crookedness by the hour, could not remomber a singlo seria! namber or mark on thoso barrels. In roferonco to Mr. Boutell's story about Hoot and the oxtra mash business, Mr. Stanford eald the Goyeroment had exam- ined the distillery books, ahowing how much corn had been recoived, and then they had ex- amined the books of the partics from whom tho corn wos purchased, and the amounts corre- sponded. This would upeot the EXTRA MASH THEORY, and of course the Government did not uso It. Such was tho kind of testimony ueeded—not that of porjurers—and the Govornmeut alone had the powor to produco it. It did not, and the reason wags obvious. Ie did not bellevo it was possible to sake ontries of everything and have it all come out right unlogs In the interest: of truth, Considerable importante had been Placod on tho fact that tho defoudants boughs malt from Jake Rehm, tho Governmont sooking to connect them with that boss thiof. ‘Tho truth waa thoy bought Nery little mats from Jako Rehm; that all their malt, excopt on very rare occasions, lad cuino from other destors, and the purpose of tho prosecution in this re- spect bad fallen to the ground, A good deat of stresa bad been placed on tho chargo of Lord Chiof Justice Abbott to 8 Grand Jury in benalf of informers; but why was thia referred to unless the Government wished to bolster up their case and apologizo for their wit- ness, a8 well as to insinuate that the dofonse objected to thin well-tnown practico of law? Mr. Stanford thon took up tho testimony of SUNKEN, FORD, AND OTHERS, and dwelt on itat sume length, criticlaing ita weaker points, which, in his bollof, wore not a foy. In references to the duplication of stamps, ‘an chargod, was it at all probable that aman would do any such thing, with the tdes of imprison. ment and confiscution staring him in the face, in the preeenve of his clerks, tosmaters, Storo~ keepers, and Gaugers? Mon did not commit crimes in that way. Thoy did it secretly, uot openly, and the story wae ontirely improbable. It was vory funny the way in which young Nootlo tad remembered the bot- wator business, If tho father had had tho least spark of huinan natura Jeff in him, he would havo kopt that boy olf tho utand, and not allowed him to perjure hunuelf for the purpose of corroborating his fathor, also a porjuror, But no; the boy wont on tho stund and sworo to. what ho was instructod to swear to, Much had beon said about ITY, andithad been virtually admitted by counsel that these mou wero to liuveuuch recommponas for their testimony as tho Court should ece fit to give them. Jt was tho gatao oy though the Govern went had put the immunity agreemont in black aud white, ‘This wad tho iapreavion undor which thexy 1a0n wero testifying, and what was atch textimony worth undor the circumetances? It waa olaotingular why theso men were not in- dicted, There was Beecher, for inutunce, a crooked Gauger and @ sell-confersod wheat. thiof jo the cmploy of tho Northwestorn Hail- road. Was his testimony worthy of belol? Georgo H, Mueller was aluo rated over tho coals ino lively manner by Mr. Stanford. Mr, Here inann Becker, of Canada, who was not indicted, but who ougbt to be, had roturncd from bis sbiding-place to testify against mney whoxe char- acters bad never bofore been asperved. Could such evidence be of aan worth? And then Mr, Barton BM, Ford occupied an unenyiablo position. Ho created tho nice distinction between his wuboruing bis bookkeeper to commit perjury, and bisown commission of the crime, Which was the moro guilty of the two, the employer or employe? And then Ford wriggled ont of the question aa to whothor ho had tostified to bis Innocenca before the October Grand Jury.

Did not that look a if ho know all about Indin-rabber packages ? Aftor ahowing tho Government books of tho Alcohiol Works to tho jury, and commonting on the care and correctness with which thoy wero kept, and after noting tho fact that they wore all there from 1871, and not destroyed, hike thoso of Hoollo & Junker aud the roast, Mr. Stanford eald ho woukt not consumo further timo, but would ask the jury to invoatigate to the bottom. Thoro had beon a good deal of loose declama- tion Indulged in at tho opaning of tho Gavern- mont’s cazo, which did not appear to be addressed tobim (Mr. Stanford) peraonally, nor to tho nee, ond, thoreforo. ho did not caro to maddlo with tt. Tho Court thon signified a willingnoss to hear Mr, Storrs argua his law point in roferonce to tho queation of PROPMETONSIIP 1X THE CHICAGO ALCOHOL Wonks. ‘Mr. Storrs began by saying that tho signill- canco of tho quostion of tho ownorship of ths property seonied to have ben miaconstriod by counsel, Tho point was that Rush and Pahtmat could not be tried, and that the Alcohol Works was tho rosponsiblo party. That waa not tho proposition at all. ‘Cho point was that thoro was a vurianco, which soomed to bo fatal, botwoon tho indictmout and tho proof. ‘ho proof must correspond with tho sverment. It did not, Furthor, whothor the avermont was matorial or not, {fj it wats ono descriptive in its charac: tor, affecting and relating to tho idontity of the offense charged, althaugh tho pleador might havo omitted it altogethor, yot if he had inserted it in his plea a variance botweon tho description and tho proof was fatal to tho intdotment. ‘Tho ayormout was that tho diatillory and the waro- house wore thoge of Pablman and Rush, which was descriptive of tho identity of tho place, and thero was an ontire, complote, snd poal- tivo varinnco between this avermont and the proof, For, if tho proof smouuted to avything, it showod that tho title to this distillery was in tho Chicago Alcohol Works, Itmado no difference who tho stock- holders were, ‘Tho iudtctmont, morcover, did not ngyert that a singlo barrel of crooked whiv- ky ovor toft Pahiman’s & Rush's Distiilory, but it did aenort tbat this was the case with tho Chi- eago Alcohol Works.
