Dugan revicwed her actions, con- tended that she was justified in hir- ing her own relatives as census em- ployes, and told the jury that she was guiltlces of wrong doing unless the state proved that her relativee did not work, which it had not done. i Medalie, his voice hoarse with a | cold, called Dugan's summation “a smoke screen put up in despair.” He insisted that the evidence show- {vd Mrs. Knapp diverted to herselt | funds supposed to have been paid to relatives for work they did not do.
