Attorney's forces, and the entire police force of Chicago. They
have talked about the police force betraying them. I saw no
evidence of it. Everything that one wing of the Clan-na-Gael could
do has been done. In addition to the State's Attorney, they have
had other distinguished orators--two of the greatest criminal
lawyers of modern times, Luther Laflin Mills and George Ingham,
whose business, like mine, is the pleading of criminal law; Mr.
Hynes, a great lawyer, a great cross-examiner, one of the most
brilliant orators of the Chicago bar, a man whom one of the largest
corporations in Chicago relies upon to wring verdicts from juries
in most desperate cases. He, too, has done all that he could on
behalf of the State. Everything that could be done has been done to
prove this charge, so that, gentlemen of the jury, you can say to
your neighbors, you can say to your social worlds, you can say to
your own consciences that no fault is to be found with the State;
everything has been done that could be done, but there was a
reasonable doubt as to the guilt of those men, and I found them not
guilty for that reason. Remember, the State's Attorney has solemnly
told you that the world has confidence in you, that he has
confidence in you, that the Judge has confidence in you, and that
whatever verdict you render will satisfy him, will satisfy the
community, will satisfy the world, because the community has
implicit and unlimited confidence in your honor and intelligence.
This, gentlemen, I say on behalf of Martin Burke and Daniel
Coughlin, in confiding their cases to your hands. No peroration
have I, but simply one word will I give. The word I give is
'duty'--duty to Illinois, duty to your God, duty to yourselves. 'To
thine own self be true, and it must follow as the day the night
thou canst not then be false to any man.'"

LONGENECKER'S CLOSING.

"If the Court please and Gentlemen of the Jury, I regret to
announce that Mr. Mills is sick and not able to close this case.
While I know you, gentlemen of the jury, are disappointed, while I
am profoundly disappointed, yet no one is more disappointed than
Mr. Mills himself. No one regrets it any more than the gentleman
who was to address you himself. I left him yesterday eveni
