is; we represent the right wing of the
Clan-na-Gael and we will show you a trick. You remember that on
October 31st they discovered this witness, Mrs. Hoertel, who
testified that the wounds were committed before death. They could
not get any one to swear that the doctors were right, but they had
got their theory that it took place in the Carlson cottage; they
have got their men from Millbank prison, they have the Clan-na-Gael
back of them and they say 'We will show you something.' Now, you
see why we proved that we did not get that name of Mrs. Hoertel
before the 31st of October. Mr. Clan-na-Gael, you may be cunning,
but you are tracked into your den at last. I told you to look out
for the Clan-na-Gael. Don't you see how important it was? I can not
tell you whether those wounds were inflicted before or after death;
the doctors can not tell you. The State well knows that it can not
get any such evidence from any doctors, and therefore they say we
will show you that he was murdered. On October 26th they sent out
their German spies, or I will apologize for that and say
detectives. Schuettler goes out, and Hoefig goes out, and a lot of
others, and they look into the highways, byways and hedges of the
city, and finally they find a woman who can swear that she saw the
Doctor enter the cottage, heard the blows inflicted, heard him cry,
'Oh, God,' 'Oh, Jesus,' and then heard the dying moans. I believe
you can talk about this murder being awful, you can say that we did
not denounce the Doctor's murder, but that has been done
sufficiently all over the world, and the whole world has fixed the
responsibility for it on the head of my client, but I will tell you
right here in your court-house, in the name of the law and justice,
they would commit a legal murder to sustain a theory and a blunder.
The whole thing was made necessary by the original blunder. Dates
are of importance.

"Now, gentlemen, that is all I have got to say about the cause of
death. Did I not tell you that those witnesses were remarkable
witnesses? They turned up just at a good time, and the State's
Attorney calls it providence. It seems to me that some men can
appeal to God by day and rely upon the devil by night as easily and
as unceremoniously as Mansfield can act the double part in 'Dr.
