Now, gentlemen of the jury, don't care to say anythingubout the 1ife he led hero. The assistant district attorney has lated that it was one of reformand that he ad settied down to bo a good man.

That is this. f you find a verdict of guilty, we would be lad of a verdict of guilty of murder in tho rst degrec, because there is no middle ground here. If the state's case is well founded, then it is murder in the first de ree. 1 beg of you, gentlemen of the jury, 0 not send this woman back to jail under a Aisagreement, and do not send her to the nitentiary under a compromised verdict, E:l’lulc if you do it isa deliberate destruc- tion of the remnant of her mind. She Can Go to the Gallows and pass away to meet her God, but a dis- sgreement or compromise, sending her back 20 Jail or to the peuitentiary, would murder the mind absolutely and completely and leave the defendant a hol};losu victin as long as God should see fit to give her days. Don’t do that, gentlemen. But I say that it is = fmpossible to find @ wordiot other than not guilty, either on the question of self-defense or insanity. Still, if there Is anyone on this jury who inks otherwise and dislikes to hang the lefendant, I appeal to him to remembar this wvoman, and that as long as he lives, there will be before his cyes the terrible agony of the tortured soul he*has seen in this court xoom, There will be ringing in his ears her shrieks and cries, and ho will carry this Nightmare to the Grave. Gentlemen, do not send the defendant Pack to jail under a disagrecment, and do ot send her to the penitentiary on com- promise, 1t would be merciful to find her guilty of murder in the first degree, and per- mit her to pass away. It would be more smerciful to place her in the hunds of the law than to leave it prasp. . ask youto take her case. I have flone with it. I have pleaded as well as I oould. But there are others who have t‘llndod and are pleading this case Dbetter an I have done.

And, gentlemen, a8 you expect your prayers to be heeded when final judgment is sed upon you, I_ask you to listen to the ;::yeu of these, Mercy! mercy ! And now, gentlemen of the jury, I turn and tuke o last farewell of this case and of this awful presence. Here I see the instru- anent of God. Here I seo that terrible pres- Ppnce that rguidnd the arm of David to the ’hx'lng of Goliah and dispersed the winds ®and waves, And in this Presence, I ask you %o look upon her, to open the iron-barred rs and let her go forth and bathe her urning, throbbing temples in the free air of d, and to give to her remaining senses all ghe aid in your power. Gentlemen, her days are numbered. This is but a physical and jontal wreck. In a very short time, not far the future, xind hands will place her ‘Where She Will be at Rest in that little home that King, with all his wer and money, cannot and will not d urb.

The closing remarks of General Cowin not poly visibly affected him, but filled many an eye m the court room with tears.

If the court please, gentlemen: As counsel have stated to you on behalf of the defense, you sit here in’ perhaps the most responsible ®nd unpleasant position that you have ever .gccupied. So do I, in discharging the last Mluties which I owe the state in this case, find myself forced to discharge the most un- leasant duty that has ever fallen to my lot. desiro, however, if you will bear with me, ‘bofore going into the testimony in this case, Awhich soems to me to establish indisputably commission of & high crime, 40 express to my friend, General Cowin, and to Mr. Baldwin, my acknowledgements of the compliments which thoy have seen fit to be- stow upon me for my conduct in this case on behalf of the state.” But I wish to say that ‘General Cowin has seen fit to pay mo an un- _ @eserved compliment and to credit me with somethiug which I have not done, and which I have no occasion to do.

I saw there a gray-haired, broken-down man, in spirit and in health, But he said to e, *‘So far as the final determination of this case is concerned, it 1 a matter of complote indif- ference to me; it brings sorrow with it whatever be the result. But [ do mot ask and I do not want to gratify any feeling on my part, and it would not grltlli{ any feeling of mino that the woman who slew my son should be punished.” Therefore, gentlemen of jury, 1 will ask you to disabuse your mind of ail idea of anything that is not here in the record of the case, or anything which May Be Conjured Up, either, to pursuade you that there are some private persons who desire certain results in this case, whether those results be for con- viction or acquittal. And I also ask you to disabuse your minds of the outside matter which General Cowin has disclaimed to in- troduce to you, and yet which he has talked about in tho lotters which he says he has ro- ceived and the prayers which he says he knows have gore up. Gentlemen of tho jury, the court will in- struct you that it is your duty as jurors to try and determine this case according to tho e dence adduced and submitted here in open court, and the law, as given you in the in- structions of the court, and upon nothing else. When the finai determination passcs into your hands and you have written your verdict, if it be upon thav evidence and upon that law, gentlemen of the jury, the stwate of Nebraska will be satistied, whatever be the result, Gentlemen, it was announced to you when counsel opened this case that the defendant, here, had two defenses. One alleged self- defense, The Other Alloged Insanity. There are some facts in this case concerning which thera is no dispute in the testimony between the state and the defendaut. There aro some matters in this onse concerning which counsel for the defendant have not seen fit to argue to this jury, and they are the facts which, prima facie, at_least, establish the commission of crime. It is admitted, gentlemen, upon all hands and by all partics, that on the morning of the 1ith day of last November, Heary W. King, jr., was alive in Douglas county, Nebraska, It is_admitted ué‘oll all hands that on that day Henry W. King, jr., came to his death in Douglas county, Nebraska. It is admitted upon all hands that that death was caused by a pistol shot, by a bullet which entered his back and passed through his heart, and that that bul- let was propelled by the powder in the Pistol Held in the Right Hand of this defendant. When you retire to de- liberate, apply the facts in the case and the law as the court will instruct you. Where the facts are proven that, on a' certain day, a man was alive and killed by another, the law presumes that murder has been com- mitted. To make murder in the first degree we must estubliish deliberation and premedi- tation, but if you find only malice, then tho law requires a verdict of murder not higher in degree than tho second. The speaker dwelt al considerable longth on the law with reference to murder in its various degrees. Manslaughter, the taking of human life in a sudden heat of passion, also received consideration. “‘While counsel for the other side have claimed both self-defense aund insanity for their client,” said the prosecutor, *‘they have actually argued three defenses. Regardless of insanity, regurdless of sclf-defense, their main argument has been that the Man Deserved Killing, that she ought to have killed him, and, hav- ing done 8o, ought now to be acquitted. But that is not the law.” However, the county attorney asked for strotching of the testi- mony. He wished Miss Biechler to have the benefit of every doubt. He knew before going into the caso that, in the recital _of her life ‘duriag & period of three years before the murder, many things would be brought out to appeal to the sympathy, not only of the populace, but of the jury. But these thinzs should not be given consideration bufore her condition of mind at the time she came here from Chi- cago and killed Harry King. “We are not trying her for anything that happened prior to the 17th of November. What has beon brought out relative to her life was simply to aid the jury in ascertaining what the Motives For His Murder were, Wo learn that Harry King did sin but he had a partner in sin, but so fi as any testimony introduced goes, the first knowledge of his ture from a strs and clean life, was the time he went to Quincy with this defendant and there lived in adultery under the name of Le Garde. Ho may have sinned, but Never Polluted the Chastity of a pure and innocent girl, bearing the name of her father and mother, There are male libertines and female libertines, and in the gratuication of his passion he had the full sympathy of his partner, this defendant in the sin. Mr, Mahoney, as the other attorneys aiso before him did, made a digest of the letters in question. On their various feat- ures he placed an entirely different construction than that given by General Cowin. e denied the statement that King had asked the hand of this woman in marriage, and showed that their residence of one year and a half in Quincy was with out the existence of any agrcement, contract Or Promise of Marringe. *‘She consented to be separated from him there, accented the 500 and went to her home in Cleveland. General Cowin's objec tion to the introduction of those letters was not because he thought them detrimental to his client, but becausc he thought to compaell me to bring forth others that might be in my possession,’’ The speaker asserted that #he could have #one back into the lifeof defendant and proven many things dctrimental to her, “but,” said he, “if I can't geta verdict by prosécuting hor on the evidence beaving solely upon the act of the crime committed, then 1 don't wantit. “If this woman was the iawful wife of Harry King, when the news reached Chi- cago that he was married to another, then she had a right to como to Omahs and de- anand satisfaction. But, if she Was Not His Wife, if she lived with him m adultery on a promise of marriage, aund accopted the only compensation allowed by law for abreach of that promise,than she had no right to come liere and wait in the hall of the hotel with a pistolin her pocket for him to come out of his room.” The lettor in which Miss Biechler states “that Henry Woolworth King Was tho Only Person who knew anything” was fully explained and stress was laid on tho seatence which read ‘‘Had not Mr. Adams or some one else gi: that §30, somebody would find out who Eovory Le,Garde is.’! “In another, she says, referring to Henry Woolworth King, ‘I will never sce bim again when I got back to you.' “Is that the kind of letter a wife writes to her husband ¢ ‘IS you over go baci on me again God help you, I wili never let you live, Don't you hear we, petty’'t *'1s that the sort of letter a wife writos to her husband ¢ “There is no doubt that during istence together, nu affection sprung up be- tween them.

The crowa never grows weary. I'rom? in tho morning to 5 p. m. it sits patiently, and even then some appear reluctant to give up their scats. Household duty seems to have been giveu a rest, social affairs neg- lected and cold lunches satisfy the appetite. When Mr. Mahonoy resumed at 2 o'clock the court room was filled, though not so densely packed as yesterday. He proceeded by asserting that neither Mr. Adams nor the father of Harry King wore under any obli- gations to pay Miss Biechler $1,500 and her bills. Mot until after this transaction was shoe notifiod that tne son had been disinher- itod. With this settiement he was left with a perfoct right to marry, He exerted that right and did marry, a od with his wifo at the Paxton hotel in this city. The county attorney said ho did not ask the jury 1o base its verdict on anything that was not brought out by the evidence, and he hoped there would be no bearing given to allegations made by defendant’s counsel as to tho Character of the Decease 1 or their arguments upou things not tostified to. The little boy, he said, had been made to do yeomen service, in the way of furnish- g some of the well-rounded and eloquent sentences of General Cowin. A grave aud serious crime has been com- mitted. In_order to win sympathy for the prisoner and soften the hearts of the jury, er learnod attorneys brought in such anec- dotes as tho baptism of little Joe, with King Acting as God-Father and this woman as god-mother. *“Chis 18 the reason,” said Mr. Mahoney, “I refer to the matter.” The Chicago incident in which he is supposed to have assaulted her on the street, was referred to, aud commented on as beiog the common iot of women who live with men under assumed names and without the semblance or sanction of a marriage. The only purpose mn bringing into this case the life of these partics was to enable the jury to ascertain what the motive was for her coming lerc to kill him. ‘‘And.” said the speaker, “whether it may be considered an unexcusadle blunder or not T wotld do it again.” He had no sympathy with an argu- ment which recommended that such an act bo approved because it wiped out of exist- ance & man who, for two years at least, had been Laving a Life of Shame. The sccues of the tragedy were hastily related. A point dwelt ‘on was the fact that no witness had testified to hav- ing heard anything suid by either party when she went to his room and knocked on the door. He also made much ot a claim that the defense had not produced testimony to prove, as they said thoy would, that King and the accused had been made man and wife. Much time was given up to & review of the testimony. The first shot was fired in the parlor: the last 120 feet from there, and while King was going down the stairs. That was the shot, Mr. Mahoney claimed, which killed King, “‘thercfore,” said he, ‘“‘we start to examine the uct, from the stand- point that without testimony to prove thecir- cumstance, 1t is Murder in the Second Degroe. The act of the shooting, as explained by Cowin, was held to be an almost utter im- possibility. I'he exclamation, said to have been made by King when hie took her by the throat, “Damn you, I could silence that tongue of yours forever,” was denied as not having beeun proven, and characterized us an- other instance of going outside the record. Mr., Mahonoy read from Scott's testimony, to show that the only evidence adduced was that she said to him, *‘I would not have doue it had he not Taken Me By the Throat.” Some severe refloctions were cast upon the testimony of the witness, Scott, in references made to the effect that in _crimmal cuses the state is bound to offer witnesses, regardless of their reputation or character, who have personal knowledge of the crim Returning to the shooting, Mr. Mahoney said that if _the first shot fired was the ono that toox effect, there was nothing strange in the fact that the course taken by the bul- let was downward. The only question was as to the distance she was from hum at the time. He also held to the theory that if she shot at him while walking from the sofa to the clevator, and if she shot with malice it was natural that she should follow him v Intending to Kil', Tho testimony of Lizzie Wynick had been that she heard the command to stand, and that after turning around on the stairway and throwing up his hands, the last shot was . Do not all the civcumstances,” asked attorney, ‘between the time the first shiot was fived until the last, indicate that the shooting was done deliberatelys The _most favorablo theory to adopt in this case is the theory that the shot was fived in the heat of passion, which would make the extent of the offense manslaughter.” After going through the various features of the tragedy, and holding up as many vie of how it was committed, as any of the other Mahoney proceeded to the in- question, replying to the arguments :od by General Cowin. “The law,” said ho, “‘presumes that every aduit person is sane, and that presumption _obtains until there is n reasonable doubt of sanity, The condition to produce insanity must be a dis- cased mind, This doubt must be established, not after the crime, but at the time it was being committed.” Mr. Mahoney denicd the sment made by Cowin and Haldwin in specchies, that Ormsby would testify to the sume that Scott did. ~He entered into 1o agrecment to not put Ormsby on the stand, only that, from the time when he saw tho woman in the little office to the lodging in jail they sought to make it appear that Ormsby would have testified to everything ott did, which was not true. On this question of insanity the only tes- timony brought out was Scott's statement, thut when he saw her coming down the stair- way, and afterwurds, she was Totally Our of Her Mind. ‘The redirect oxamination of Scott was read to show that his answer to a question re- arding be n, after leaving the fiuwl, wus, “3he was hysterical.” But cven 18 out of mind from the t lior on the stair landing until ser ab tho police station, the crime had then been commitied, aud, claimed Mr. Mahon clevant. ‘Che theory vhat “aiter he ook me by the throat, [ did not know what occurred,” wus dismissed by rocalling several exprossions of Lers, indicating that she did know what she was doing. In reply to the churges of Gen- eral Cowin, thet certain testimony which wwight bave boen, wus not introduced, the prosecutor declared that until they intro- guced some testimony to vrove that she was iusane, at tho time of firing the first shot, the stute Must assume that she was sane. the "1 1 Wanted to Be H ud on 1@ gefendant I might easily ask the court to inStyyet you, gentlewen of the jury, on this ¥stimony Lo the that theré has been notbing shown hore to indicate insan- ity ‘I'he scientilic evidences of insanity pre- sonted by defendant’s uttorney, und the num- erous recorded cases referred’ to, were an- swered.

Jowin’s theory of the case,” he coveluded, *was that this” womuu lost’ con- trol of the mind, caused by a sudden shock and great mental stram, Judge Baldwin's however, was insanity caused from sicul disturbance.” This left the speaker no other alterpative thun to ergue both classes of iusuuity' But the latter #hought so little of as not to give it wuch cousideration.

From Van Cott’s he went to Raymond" and pursued the same tactics, and it see that then he procurod by some means the names of certain ladies who had purchased diamonds during Decembor, Ho also went to John Baumor's and it is said also pro- curred the names of certain persons who had vurchased diamonds there. Yesterday a young man whose description tallies with the one who called at the jewolry stores drove up to the residonce of John Lit- tlo at about 11 o’cloci in a light buggy drawn by a sorrel horse. Mr. Little was down town but Mrs, Little was at home.

The crowd that turned out to seo the Oma- has mop up the tender green sward with Watking' lambs, from Kansas Oity, yoster - day aftornoon, was of but fair dimensions. What it lacked in sizo, however, was mado up in enthusiasm, and everybody enjoyed the whollopring administered to the aggregation of sprintors from the mouth of the Kaw. The Omahas put up a fino game, a8 did the Cowboys, also, tho former scoring five hits, four runs, and the latter five hits, two run and six errors. Thore was much dissatisf; tion manifost over the umpiring of Ted Ken- nedy, but in the main it was as good as is generally seon at exhibition games, and, on the whole, superior to that accorded tho Omahas, rocently, in K C Clarko pitched like a Kecfe, and Nagle was a stone- wall behind the plate. The Omahas ovened the game in a spirited way rauss made a hit, stole second neatly, and scored on Nagel's rattling drive for a_ bag. It was one, two, threo for Kansas City in the first three innings, but in the fourth, on a couple of hits aud a_wild throw by Messott over Cleveland’s head, they tallied twice and took the lead. This thoy held up to the ninth inning, when Porter got rattled and gave three men bases on balls, and while his confreres were wrangling over this, Nagle stole home, Here the Cowboys played the baby act, and en- deavored to turn’ the game into a burlesque by allowing Canayan and Messett to sucees- sivoly cross the plate without putting up a hand to prevent it.
