Her feet had been blistered fright- tully, and she declared she was unable to &0 home. The spot was deserted and night was approaching. “Do you think you could for once walk four miles In your bare feet?"’ asked the girl of the milllonalre.

He fnvited the president to visit and see for himself the condition in the fslands, and learn from contact with the fuhabitants of the love and affection which Cubans have for the United States and thelr apprecia- tion of what has been done for them by this government in thelr struggle for freedom. Senor Capote usked the president to do smething for the Cubans upon an economic line and particularly in the matter of reci- procal trade relations. He sald that it was this kind done before the next crop was harvested, in order that the Cubans may selze the advantages to them of the closer political and economic relations with the United States, In reply, the president sald It was impos- sible to settle the economic questions until the political questions were disposed of.

Senor Capote responded that something ought to be done while the Cuban govern- ment was forming. He thought that while the United States was exercising control there might be arrangements perfected s {lir to those under contemplation by ‘he secretary of war in 185, when the govern- ment first passed under control of the Unlted States. He told the president that in poverty and rags, and if it could not be wealthy It would at least prefer to have something with which to support ftsolf and to have its people in prosperous condi- tions, or with prosperous conditions fmme dlately before them. The president again reverted to the that under the present conditions, as the secretary of war had advised them, he did not see how It was possible to settle any economle questions before the Cuban cab inet was formed. He would appoint com- missloners immediately after a government was organized to negotlate with similar commissioners from the Cuban government for reciprocal trade relations, and he be- lieved that the United States would be ready to deal in a manner which would he beneficlal to both countries. He thanked the delegates for the invitatlon to visit the tsland and told them to assure the Cuban people of his friendly interest in them and his desire to see them contented and pre perous.

The secretary replicd that, on the contrary, he highly appreciated the arguments of Senor Capote, and his his admiration and respect for the abilities and keenness of the Cub The delegates then shook hands with president and departed General Capote later sald to an Asso- clated Press reporter: “We have con- cluded our business here.

Both sides asked an adjournment over Sunday, but Judge Buker determined to have the case submitted to tho jury last night He said it better for the jurors and for all concerned not to hold the case r Sunday County Attorney Shields made the opei- ing address to the jury for the state, It | having been decided that General Cowin should make the closing argument Mr. Shields argued for three-quarters of an hour, joining together the loks in the chain of direct und clreumstantial evidence put in by the state to prove the guilt of tho accused. He reviewed the different ac in the crime--the buying of the bay pony from Burris, the use of the pony by the | man who threw the ransom-demanding note into Mr. Cudahy’s yard, the renting of the Schneiderwind cottage, the carrying away and imprisonment of the boy-—and pointed out the conuection of Callahan and Crowe with these acts, as recited by the varlous witnesses. He directed the attention of the jury to the fact that Callahan, after declaring that he had not seen Crowe since | December 1, had unwittingly on cross-ex- | amination admitted that he and Crowe had met at Mrs. Kelly's residence on December | 16, two days before the kiduaping. Callahan had said that Crowe had come to Mrs. | Kelly's to nquire about a horse the woman | had for sale and Mrs. Butler, who had come there on the same errand, was there at the tme and met Crowe. Mrs. Butler had testified that she went to Kelly's to geo about the horse on December 16, the same day the horse was advertised for sale in a newspaper. A copy of the newspaper con- taining the advertisement, dated December 16, was also in evidence, and there could be no doubt that Callahan had proven him- self to have been with Crowe only two days before the kidnaping, although he had pos- Itively stated that he had not seen the much wanted man since December 1. The county attorney concluded his argu- ment a little befcre 6 o'clock, when court adjourned to 7:16 p. m. Crowd at Byvening Sess At the evening session the court rooin was Jammed with people who had been atiracted there by the announcement that General Cowin was to make the closing argument for the state. The crowd was doomed to digappointment. A few minutes before evening session began the defendant, Callaban, his lawyers and bis sister had a cousultation in the Judge’s private office ana when they ewerged from the room they had decided to walve argument and thus shut off the clos- 1ug speech by General Cowin for the stat “If your honor please,” said Lawyer Mac farland ag soon as court convened, “the do= fendunt walves argument.’ 1 suppose,” put In the county attorney, hat this 1s done for the purpose of shute ting out General Cowin." “Under the rules,” declared the court, “there can be no further argument.” “You don't suppose we're going to let Cowin shed a bucket of tears in front of that Jury, do you?" said Mr. Macfarland (o the reporters. of afternoon oy 8 1 the Court. Judge Baker then read his charge to the Jury, nstructing them particularly that the tme alleged In the case was robbery. He sald “You are Instructed that if you belic from the evidence that Edward A. Cudahy, | 4r., was taken into custody by some per- son and that a demand for money was made upon bis father, Edward A. Cudahy, s by letter, threatentog to do violence to his son unless a sum of money was deposited in @ certain and particular spot, and that id Edward A ahy, sr., through fear of personal fnjury to his son, deposited the money, such a delivery of money would sot be a voluntary act on the part of Bdward A.
