In tbe course of the conversation,
which lasted tlircc-o,liartcrH of an

'At best, the span of life Is only 70

"Kngland mas tiy to contend that

Joy were murderers. She will find
It much liardor than she Imagines to
get tlio world to arcept that view."
The Irish ' leader Is in excellent
health, but his frloiidrt In America
would hardly tciognUe him. for he
is on tin- run and naturally does
not reveal himself unnecessarily.
Obviously It would mil do lo do
scrlbo his appearance in detail, but
lie looks extremely fit and conveys
tfce turpi esslon of being free fioni
any sense of personal danger.
The Milontccr who conducted the
correspondent to Mr. do Valcra'n

working strenuously from 7 a. 111.

"Kirst, I shall go to the baptismal fount and have my soul
cleansed of the sin I committed when I broke tlio moral
laws and entornd illicit relations with tin man I loved.
"Kecalisc I am innocent of the crime of which 1 am

The accused woman then announced that if she is freed
she will become a member of the Christian faith through
baptism in the First Christian church here, which is at

"God has already forgiven Clara Smith llaiuon," said
the Rev. Grayson Brooks, pastor of the church. "But to
make full repentance of her sins with the man, who, in my
opinion, was responsible for her shame, she must be bap

the victim of circumstances. She is not a bad woman and
salvation is before her. The man who caused her ruin re

contended that lie had a right lo be

not so submit the cnsn without hav

In bin argument which rnr.sumed
one hour anil fifty minutes, Spalal
Prospcul.ir Hrown handled Clara
Smith without gloves, the first tlmo
this has been done during tho wholo
week that the trial bus been In

As Hrown would come in the most
dramatic parts of his denunciation
of the licensed wotniili )r would
i.nt stnml In front of the Jury box

Instead, he would walk to thn sldo of
the counsel tabln and stand direct

lean oer Hie table towatd her,
pounding the boards rrsotindlngly
with his fist.

they were happier still. Then little

Hi own banking bis fist down on the
table, punctuating each word with
a smash, "This defendant. In the
darkness of Hie night, entered

"As man In man," said Hrown. "I
