THOMPSON PLEADS WITH J URY | ward---In the Hell of Battle My ee eee ee for the state who had attempted to impugn his veracity. He flung the charge of liar into Kelleher's teeth, not in so many words, but in phrases so cuty ting, so bitter that it seemed impossible that the attorney POKER GAME (5 could sit there so calmly and take it. Of Attorney Vance he said: “You, Mr. Vance, have told this jury that I lied. When out in the woods and a storm RAIDED is raging and great trees are being twisted in hell's fury and ——— gigantic trunks are being shattered and hurled down about Odea eine es ee —_ one's head, one does not mind the mosquito that stings one's cheek. You have called me a liar, Mr. Vance, and God knows if that was all I had to stand, I could stand it. I have stood many troubles, No, I didn't mind it at all, Mr. Vance; I didn’t mind it at all.” VANCE'S FACE GLOWS RED. He shot the words directly at the Olympia counsel's face, facing him in a crouching, cat-like attitude of passion and feeling, his face almost touching that of the other. General Vance's face glowed red, but he did not move, “All my life has been a revolving orbit of toil,” Attorney Thompson said, holding out his trembling, withered hands to the 12 men in the jury box. “I come before you as a simple old man who loves his boy and who loves the law. Before God, I am not here to swing you from your fealty to the law, I am not going to appeal to your prejudice. Géd Almighty gave me no tongue to arouse passion and prejudice.
