LOS ANGELES, Aug, 15,—His face streaming tears, the jury which is to decide whether he shal! go to the penitentiary or be a free man weeping like children, and with not a dry eye in the crowded court room, Clarence 8, Darrow today placed his fate in the hands of the 12 men who will deliberate on their verdict within a few short hours, The famed attorney made the greatest oratorical effort of his jong career. He played on the feelings of the jury and his audience as a master touches the keys of a great organ. As Darrow made his last plea the chimes of St. Vibian’s cathedri a block away, where a wedding was being held, rang joyfully through the court room. Sobs were audible during his dramatic pause, men and women alike wept unabashed, “If you 12 men send me to the penitentiary—t'll row. “Life is like a game of whist. and dealt by the hands of Fate. shuffied, but | like the game. “I'll play the game through the jong, long night with the cards Vm dealt until the breaking of day. “Gentiemen, thousands of men, women and children, deep down in the mines, in the stores, the shops and the railroads, on iron frames | of skyscrapers, in the bowels of the steamships—are looking to you to save me, and to vindicate my name. “They are looking to you gentlemen, and they'll thank you.” Advancing rd the jury box,) will fool with my liberty. { of notes,| Darrow’s speech was rapid and morning at once|emphatic.
