in, the
central figure, they do agree upon, and that is true. The same way
with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. While they give it in different
language, do not they all point to Calvary, and so it is with this
evidence of the Misses McNearney and Mrs. Conklin, and the evidence
also of Dinan; it is the evidence of witnesses who tell the truth
and it all points you to Calvary. I do not intend to dwell upon all
that Forrest has talked to you about. He has talked about the
evidence of that wagon, and seems to think a good deal more of
sound than he does of sight. He regards sound as being far better
than sight, hence I think he will appreciate my speech on this
account.

"He says that wagon was driven from away across the railroad
crossing onto Fullerton avenue. No one saw it cross the railroad
track, and Officer Steib says, the first he saw of it it was east
of Ashland avenue. He also says that before he saw it he heard it
rumbling over the railroad track, but he does not know whether it
was this wagon he heard rumbling or some other. But there is not
enough in it for us to stop long to consider whether it crossed the
railroad track or not. The fact is the same. They did not see it
until it was east of Ashland avenue, and then they saw it coming
back on Ashland avenue. There is no reason why they could not drive
around the block if they wanted to, but we do not know what course
they took, yet we do know they could have taken that course very
easily, and if they had taken a direct course they would have been
tracked from the cottage to the place of their destination.

"Forest then says to you: 'It is strange, isn't it, that they drove
right down toward the city, where they could be seen by the police
force?' It does not seem that the police force hurt them any. They
were seen by half a dozen officers and not stopped, and the man who
drove the wagon did not seem afraid of police officers, but on the
contrary seemed to know just what police officer to strike. They
got along to Fullerton avenue, and they knew that it was just the
very thing to do to drive along a street where they would not be
suspected. Suppose they had driven along Ashland avenue straight to
where they went to dispose of the body, they would have been
unquestionably tracked. But we
