That attorney devoted himself to an an- alysis of their testimony at various times and was more sparing of epithets than O'Connor. The latter called them “lying scoundrels, black as hell's selt." Jefferis dubbed them “lame ducks” and “these in- nocent virgine."

Gross, when testifying, de- nied that he had ever issued any note in Keenan's favor. | The county attorney spoke with compara- tive brevity in opening the argument.
