published, and yet, because we did not publish
the whole thing to the world and before the coroner, he abuses us
before the petit jury. You can not please him, and the only way to
please him is to give him evidence sufficient to acquit his
clients.

"Mr. Forrest brought the trunk in here and exhibited it to you and
I have a right to say a few words about that. I also desire to say
a few words about the clothes and the necktie, which was cut

"I want to call your attention to this matter because it is
important. You will remember that Mr. Ingham mentioned the fact in
his statement that when seen they were north of Bryn Mawyr avenue,
