Holm HOLMES CASE GOES TO JURY TODAY Three arguments ana rart of the fourth were made in . superior court here on Tuesday in the trial of Rowval G. Holmes on the ckharge of as- sault with intent to kil and murder Captain Jame: Lennen ot the captain’s home at 40 Boswell aveau: on the night of December 5th last. This (Wednesday) mora.npg at 9.45 State’s Attorney Hadlai A. Hull will use ten or fift2en minuies that he has left to close up his final arziment for the state and Judge Wiiliam M Maitbie will then charge the jur nd pass the case over to their hands for their con- sideration. Attorney Warren S. Bucrows for the state and Atiorneys Arthur AL Brown and J. J. Desmond for the dafense were the ones to conclg their ar- guments on Tuesday. Attorney Warren B. Burrows who has been assisting the state’s attor- ney in the trial of the case made the opening argument for fthe staie. Hc defined first what circumstantial evi: dence is and called attention 10 the confidential relations between <Capt. Lennen and Mr, Holmes. The repu- tation of the.accused is not evidence in this case. he said, and he called attention to the fact that Cuapt. Len- nen locked the door behind him and the man who made the assault must thus have bheen honse, He reviewed the ev s to the blood spots and bloc on Holmes' coat and said these could not be explained even 1f Mr. Holmes did touch the captain. There was no Llood on Capt. Lennen’s back where vas claimed Mr. Holmes put h's ked why Mr. Holmes hcd g to sav when Sergt. Mat- | from the hos .n'» e on hurried in the the table { upon Mr. Holmes. rne attoraey stated three propositions that 1 ould at tempt to prove first, that Mr. Holmes W s not a man apt to cominit this me, second. that he 4il not com- mit. ard third that on the ‘acis he could not tave been 1ty of it The complste friend! of the two families mad= it not necessary to com- mit this crime to get tha note. There had been other times 1 opportuni- ties. The attorney reviewed Mr. Holmes' testiniony as to his 'novements and claimed that the bright red blood spol that Oficer Carroll said he saw would have heen seen Ly others. It was preposterous that a man would g0 back to the scene of his cxime with the ed'vence cn him. Holmes didn’t do_ this because he had no object in doing it and his whole course of con duct is against the th that he did it It was physicali; impossible for Holmes to have been ai both the Lennen house and Pul: hall. Why hould he seek to establish an albi bv asking the time of two utter strangers. There was no blo%d an the front of bés left glove and no: s particle of bood on Hoimes until he had gone in tc speak to C‘artain Len- nen, the attorney claimed. He would venture to that thece were few hands that wouldn’t fit {he stains on the table cloth. Attorney Desmend made his closing al with tears in h's ey2s and his aking with emotio1. Ie reminded the jury that they were to detummc a_ soridus matter. For judge and attorneys, the events of this trial, w be merely events, when they wi ast. Bach man would on his way as before, but for Royal G. Holm: wife, his children, his brother-mn-law. it wes the one important. occasion of their It was for the jury to say Mr, Holmes shculd again be restored to the position of aun lLonora ble cit'zen in the communicy.

Anvone ing this erime might have gone into the Tennen parlor all the evening smoking a cigar as far as the nolice investigation of that roem was corecerned, The blood expert, Scarboroush. from w Haven, had found no trwes of blood on the thumb of the glove where the marks were made on the tahle- cloth. Anv other ginve of the same slze wonld fit these marks. Mr. Brown's fina]l areument was that the state had failed to prove ifs case |« bevond all reasonable douht as it was bound to do to get a cenviction. Second Argument Fo- Cefense. The noxt argument for the dofense was made by Attorney Desmond, who began his argument after :pe noon re- and._ spoke for over an hour. Desmer.d began with a Latin ed 1o the man hecomes jury as meaning, depraved all at once” This js proyed by human expericice, ne said, There are always pr&@iminary gradations in crime. Thare had never been a stain upon the character or reputation of than he old gvn!'omun had been mur- fo " dizaent! the none.

The state’s attorney closed with 2 attention to the smears and l\h"hrw of blood on the overcoat and the marks on the tab'ecloth. These, he ia fit the stit and they were seen on the twenty minutes before Holmes came back to the house. No one snbstentiates Holmes about the cap Le produced in court. but four witnesses for the state sry it is not the cap he was wearing that night. s WESTERLY MAN’'S SKULL FRACTURED BY BEAM Guiseppe Miceli, an italian shipyard | worker, whose home is at 6S Liberty and who is 22 street, Westerly, R. ivears old, was brought to New Lon- den Tuesday morning and taken to the hospital in an unconscious condi- tion, Miceli is emploved by the Ship Con- struetion and Trading company in Slonington, and while at work in the £hi] was struck on the head by a 60-foot beam.
