Btata'u-Attorfiey Mills Makes the First Bpeech on Behalf of the Pros- . ecution, A Forcible and Compact Summary of the Case Against the Defendant. Mr, Thomas Moran of Coungel for Sullivan .Baging His Olosing Remarks, The largest andfence which has thus far attended tho trisl of Aloxander Saliivan. for the murder of Francis iHanford, was present Ih the Oriminal Court yesterday morning. There was more erowd- Ing than heretofors: that s, mors people mat ‘witbin o glven epace. The alalos, however, were comparatively clear, preaerved, not the least shiow of feeling one way or iho other characterizing the procecdings. One entits side of the room was occapled by Iadies, - the gallery sawell as the henches usually occupied by the petit Jurors and tha prisonors when brought op for sentonve, At least 200 wera prosent, and tliey sermod to be ns mneh intereated in the arza- mohth as the men; they cerfainly pald closcr at- tention to them, and spent very little tme ngosalping. The festure of the day was the ad- dress of the State's Attorey, this being ths mont Important case In which he has appearcd since tak- ing posension of his office, Evéry one was anxlous o hear him,", All were disappolntod. . They had no idea that there was 60 mach in **ths little boy.' He showed that he possennes ununanal abilities, 'and the fears that he waa ‘too young to dlscharge hla dulles in every emergency wore uiterly dissipated yesterday, Mra. Ilanford was present in the morne ing only, and congratalated the Rtate's Attomey. Blie was porfectly satisied with his effort, Mre, Bullivan was thers In the aftornoon. As noon as the **ifear ye, hear ya™ of tne batlllt died away, A Mi. MILLS openad the argument for the proeccution, ITe sald the case was porhaps the most lmporiant ever trlad in the State, “Thesconrt-room was the focus of the view not only of the 600,000 people of Chi- £ago, but of the million throughout the country. FEvery ona engagod fn the ina) was an object of scrutiny that was almost painfal. e had but one appeal to make to tho jury, and thal was that they do thelr simple duly. After ailuding fo the gencral ovidence of & morder, and saylng that two could not tell exactly tho stmo atory regarding the traneactlon, he narrated the facta of the case, Granting that every word in the communlication written by Hanford was uutroe, he affrmed that that hanest, . fair-dealing man, when he penned those chinrges, honoatly belleved every word be wrate, o had- uo wWaaton splte or hata to exhibit,—no mallco that would have led him to destroy o reputation noedlessly and without Justico.

He branded Sullivan as o inurdercr, not el ply for what hio had done, but because ho had sat, cold and undistarbed, and teard tho beart-ronding pathos of the poor widow ond not shed n tear or moved a mascle, a2 nnl{ 8 uan by nature capsble of murder could do.
