Bull, of the local police, had stepped "hen the announcement was made the assassin closed his lips firmly, as though nerving himself. It was a bombshell to the defense. Aged Lorza ou. Lewis, of counsel for the murderer, said that the abrupt termination of the case for the Peo- ple was embarrassing both to him anu his distinguished colleague. He therefore requ: ;ted that both he dnd ex-Justice Titus be allowed to ad- dress the jury briefly In opening. He then faced the jury and elo- quently and. feellngly opened the story. The auditors were not long le.. in doubt as to the defense. It was Insanity. “A sad blow has fallen on the na- tion," sald Mr. Lewis, “and the duty of all here {s to settle In a legal way the guilt or innocence of the prisoner at the bar. It will rest with you, Sentlemen of the jury to determine whether or not the deed done that day was the work of a sane or an Insane man." The snowy-haired attorney then spoke of the manner in which he and ex-Judge Titus’ had been called into the case; of the high duty devolving upon counsel, Judge and jury in this ezse, and then he touched on mob and lynch law, “But this does not exist in our community,” sald he. “It Is charged here that our client is an $ a man who does not believe in any law, or any government, such doc- trines are wicked and subversive of all that is right, but bad and wicked and dangerous as such doctrine is, it {s not so dangerous to the netion as lynch law, For some moments the venerable torney spoke against lynch law pd said sharply and almost bitter! “And those who advocate and write letters saying that a man ~ho com- He spoke in a clear, deliberate voice. ; The addresses of both counsel for the assassin and the rict-Attorney moved ther hearers to tears.

He came here as the guest of the city to ald us in our great Exposition, And he was killed while here; shot down In that building when he was there greeting the thousands who were there to meet and to honor him.” With superb eloquence the aged Jurist dwelt on the possibility of in- sanity of the prisoner and closed his opening to the jury with a tear-pro- ducing tribute to the memory of the dead and gone President.
