A Great Crowd

parison of it with hair from his client's head was made

Becoming more that ever convinced that the hair had never been on the head or body of Mary Sheedy he turned to Mr.Lambertson and charged the whole thing a

AN INFAMOUS PLOT

of the detectives and prossenting attorneys, meanwhile asking to allow Mary Sheedy to walk up to the jury box and submit the hair of her head to a closer scrutiny by the jurors that a truer comparison might be made.

Mr. Lambartson arose and objected to such a proceeding as it was purely evidence and the case was now closed, and in warming up his objections and defending himself from Mr. Strode's charges of a combined plot pf attorneys and detectives shook his fist at the speaker and said:

"YOU ARE A LIAR,
Mr.Strode and you know it."

Judge Field with much surprise and appareat indignation called him downand lectured him on such conduct saying such language coming from such a source in the court room indeed surprised him

The crowded court room seemed to be spontaneous in applause, but this only increased the ire of the court and he gave due notice that at the least the repetition of such a thing the room would be cleared and no spectators admitted as the case was one of too great importance, too serious for such actions.

Mr.Strode raised an "Amen" to its and coincided with the judge. He continued his remarks to the jury addressing them as to what had been introduced as evidence and duty in its consideration, holding out to them that the state had not only failed to bring out any evidence, convicting or otherwise, but had clearly failed to even make a case.

After admonishing the jury that the court would instruct them that they could not consider the confession of McFarland as against Mrs.Sheedy and Monday McFarland would be acquitted he closed his arguments with some beautiful quotation feelingly delivered to the jury, bringing tears to the eyes of many.

"My client," he said in one instance, "may have been a little careless in her early life, but God knows she is not guilty of this murder, Then, gentlemen, let me implore you to restore my client to her freedom, to her loving sisters; to that aged mother who now lies postrate on a bed of sickness in another state. O, hasten, gentlemen to cheer that good old Christian mother's heart by giving back to her her youngest daughter."

G. M. LAMBEDTSON.

It fell to Hon. G. M. Lambertson of the prosecution to deliver the closing arguments and it was well for the state, for more able one would be hard to find for this duty.

He began at 11:20 with an eloquent descrition of the deed pf Sunday evening. January 11th, his language being clear and classic. He would occasionally drift off, however, to wallop Mr.Strode in a spirit of revenge for what the gentleman said during the morning, this would bring a response and ere recess was taken several disgraceful parleys were witnessed.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon the court room was insufficient to accommodate the crowd, and Mr.Lambertson, who had just warmed into eloquence was continuing his arguments as THE CALL went to press.
