It vafl ed with both Sutherlta and Fetters. He great plea and was made by a good, and l etters were to the bill board busi-, wyer d't was plain to be seen that neaaal the IMymout h lair in the latter from his remarks he was pleading to part ol ugust lS'.iO. Tetters had nü i safe the life of his client from the hang-1 money ai this time, to his knowledge: ' man's noose. He may save Sutherlin , but had considerable money betöre that, from this terrible fate but so far as an made no money at the Plymouth lair, j acquittal goes, never. Did not pay for permit. They quit! Attorney Stevens closed at 10::w this I btadBess immediately atterwards and morning and was followed by Mr.' has never een Tetter's ince. j tilaebrook who occupied about four' Mrs. Kdltl) sutherlin, wife of W illiam ' hours. Mr. (ilazebrook is a lineappear Sutberlui hujs that she was acquainted ! mg gentleman and a good lawyer and 1 with Tetters. Tetters shaved about one j his speech to the jury only added an week beiore he left. Shaved off his j other strong link in the great chain t hat mustache at that time. Suiherlin and j the state has forged against Sutherlin. Tett rs left on unday about 2 o'clock ; The Independent is frank to acknowl 1 and Sutherlin e -nie back Monday night j and lei t lieXl luonuiig about :.iu. I'.nggy in winch they left was a buck board, and black botet and sorrell pony At this point thv delense admits that the buggy tbe defendant had was a spring wagon the box of which was 5 feet, 11 inches outside, '1 feet, Ö inches on inside. Trie delense oilers iu evidence the taattaony of Johnny Vandalan taken beiore th corooen jury at. Knox whicti was read iu evidence as follows: That he pu ked up cap where there was a pooi ol blood ana hung it on a post at the school house, and a man came along driving a sorrel! brown pony and a black horse, and took the cap and put it on. Aiso he testimony ol Tea Mitchell taken before the coroner and the testi mony Ol Mary Hoher ad ol which was excluded. (eo. A. Williams, Plymouth, Indiana. Occupation blacksmith. Testiiiea that beebod sonse horses for Kd. Tetters Sep'l, 1s'.h'. ami be had BO mouey to pay him, and 'hat he was gelling some wood from Twin Likes that he would give him lor his pay. The defense rested their case and the state was through with the excep tion ot one witness which would be here in the morning at o'clock. Att'y Lauer opened the argument for the state in an able speech. He first explained l i the jury the law that governs in Mich cases. Tollowmg this he explained what is meant by circumstantial evidence, ex plaining by using the illustration of Solomon when the two women came before turn both claiming the mother hood of the same child. Solomon was perplexed but taking bis knife stated that he would cut the child in twain end give each half. The true mother! fell to her knees aud begged the King j to give the child to the other women. ! The hioiherly instinct was the beet j possible evidence. That was circum-1 stantial evidence. Mr. Lauer then in troduced authorities strengthening his understanding as to what is meant by "reasonable doubt." He explained the importance of motive in a criminal case, and showed what is meant by premeditated malice, ... V. . ..V. 1... ........ I .., i ., - il.. auer wiiiun nc caiciuuy irvieweu me i evideuce showing the strong case of cir cumstantial evidence, lixing the crime upon the defendant. Att'y M evens addressed the jury this afternoon for the defense producing ar guments in rebuttal to those of Att'y Lauer during the morning. He dwelt a long while on the idea that tbe jury is judge of the law and the evideuce and endeavored to prepare the jury for the instructions of tne court which he well knows will be adverse to the de fendant. He contrasted our system of laws with those of older countries at an earlier period. if thee ourt is to be both judge and jury then one man has arbitrary power, which is not the spirit of the constitu tion. He went at the theory of circumstan tial evidence as presented by Mr. Lauer in a masterly way, producing instances of eases whare circumstantial evidence has proven seriously iu error. He show ed the character 01 the dead man, whom he considered so unworthy that t he de fendant evn if guilty, should not re ceive the maximum sentence. Mr. Stevens was ftill in the float at the hour of going to press. Mr. Stevens resumed his argument I for the delense this DSoruin. The witnesses for the state did not lair very well with this brilliant lawver. There isn't it question of doubt but this speech was oDe of the best ever dehv ered betöre a Marshall county jury The earnestness of the speaker his tirm conviction as to the inuocense of his client together with the abiii'y ol Mr. Stevens as an advocaie made tne edge Mr. (ilaebrook's ability HAHT1NDALE. At the close ef Mr. Olaiebroofci speech Att'y Martindale took the floor and addressed tbe jury in behalt ol his cMent Sutherlio. When it was announc ed that Mr. Martindale would apeak this afternoou it was observed that a I number of business men had found seal.-, in the court room as they fully ex-! pecud that Mr. Martindale would j make the greatest spree. (.1 his lite. Mart redete is well known for his un iiualiüed belief in the innocense of his pliant This only adds power and de- J termination on the part of Martindale; to stand by his client until the hope fades away. He is making a powerful i address to the jury as we go to prese. The jury will get the case tomorrow. I and in all probability the Independent will publish the verdict tomorrow. Till KSLlAY. The court room was crowded with j spectators yesterday afternoon when j Att'y Martindale arose to review t he j evidence in behalf of the defendant inj the Sutherlin trial. Sutherlin appeared J to be rather uuconcerued while Att'y l ilazebrook read various murder cases to back up his idea of reasonable doubt and the weight that should be attached to circumstantial evidence. But when llr. Martindale took up his cause in: such earnesness and determination,! hope throbbed as has not been percepti ble in the defendant at any time before during the trial. When the att'y pict ured the inconsistencies of the states witnesses, the eyes of the defendant gleamed, a if to say, "I am a persecu ed man." Mr. Martindale told how the boy who testit id to having handed the cap to the man in the wagon, failed to pick out the prisoner when afterward lined up with twenty other men. If this boy could not Identify Sutherlin as the man who came for the cap, this boy who was nearer him thau any one else, then the identity as sworn to by others a distance away could not in reason be accepted by the jury. The att'y was not convinced in his own mind that Fetters was dead. The undertaker had sworn that the body of the dead man had but one eye, and that it was his opinion that the eye had been lost at least two or three years before death, it was a tact that Kd Fetters had two good eyes and if tbe undertakers testi mony is believed the state has failed to establish a "corpus dslecti." But whoever the dead man, it was his opinion that the guilty man was not the defendant. It wa; Han Koher's mule in the grave of the dead man. is it not a fact, asked Mr. Martindale, that Hau Hoher is the author of this crime? What testimony except that of Dan Hoher, himself, has the state that Hoher sold a mule to Sutherlin for tftf is it not unworthy of belief that sutherlin would give $5 for a mule whose hide was worth but 83 ? Is it reasonable to believe that a man desiring to conceal a crime would buy a mule for its carcas alone was it necessary to have a mule carcas in the same grave ? Then said the attorney, there was a stranger who ate dinner with Fetters at a Knox restaurant who saw that roll of hills, it Fetters had a roü. w here is j ha? There is the mys'.-n mis third pel - j son who doubtless is ehs'rsrable with ! this (Mine, if the body is that of Ed letters. In scat hing terms, Mr. Martindale assailed Dar.

The Kepublicani of the 13th con gressional district met in convention in tbe opera house this (Tuesday) after noon. George VV. Iloleman of Roches ter, was made chairman and R. Ii Qsjlesbee Secretary. Rvery county in the district was represented. Elmer Crockill, business manager of the South Uend TribQJM was elected district com mitteeman. .1 udge Higgs, of Warsaw, was called to the platform and deliver ed an address which was received with applause. Judge Riggs is a line look ing gentleman and a go id speaker. II did not deliver a set speecn, but only dealt In random shots. He said he thought that a Judge had as go d a right as any other citizen to engage in i politics and express an opinion. In this (.articular we think he is about right. There were a large number of solid republican' present and the var- ous speakers were loudly applauded. It was quite evident that it. is the in tent ion of the republicans to make a hard light in t he coming campaign. Of course every thing was cut and dried, andouuide of the speeches there It j . a i v it I In t !...
