The laughter which greeted this comment was so general that tho judge rapped his gavel to restore order. walled outside the saloon for half nn hour fill Moss came out. While Moss nnd Klllott were on the corner of Twentieth nnd Market streets, said the lawyer, citing the testimony, the car with I'circe and Treadway came tip. Then Mr. Patterson con tinued : "There you have it. gentlemen. If there was n plot, why did they act that nay? Treadway and Peine left. Does that look as if there was a conspiracy? Docs that look like a eoneerteil I scheme to rob? Were thev going over I for their own mirnoses or were thev coming back for Klllott nnd Moss? If there wns n concerted scheme, why did they net thnt wav? "The district attorney says Mnriel wns a lure. You won t hear that from us. We arc not going to mention her on that score. Now. if the girl was the lure., wasn't it natural that Treadway would have gone for her himself? Hut Pelrce went with him. Does that look like a scheme? Ily this time Moss had left (hem. apparently for Camden. How do yon reconcile that? "The district attorney tells you that Treadway did not tell the girl where they were going. You saw that young lady, gentlemen. Don't you think she would hnve asked?' Mr. Vattersoii then recalled how Marie and Treadway entered the car at 2040 Walnut street, and how thy were supposed to be headed for West Phila delphia to get another girl for Pelrce. Hefore they started. Pelrce wanted nn other drink. Mr. Patterson pointed out, but tho bottle wns empty. "Although they were going to West Philadelphia." Mr. IVittcrKon snM. "Pelrce wouldn't go until they diove two squares In rellll the bottle. "Now the point I make is this; Not that they went for the girl as n lure, but that they were starting out for n parly, and went back for more liquor. Tragedy l.ald Io Drink "Here is where the district attorney' tries to conned Treadway for the first time, when thev nn into Pch-ce's nnnrt- nirulH for liquor. He told you that ! Treadway waved to Moss on the cor ner. "When the district attorney telfs you thnt he is proud of you ns an intelli gent jury, he insults your intelligent'! by saying thnt Moss nnd .Marie lingers lind nothing In gnin. "Do you believe that sort of bunk? Of course they had something to gain. "The wave didn't take Moss and Kl liott in. It wns the tliougltt of a drink. "I'm net going into u long discus sion of the iloorv. I'm not trying to evade a point. I'll stay here oil day to answer every charge, hut it isn't fair In you men. The doors might cnily have been open. On thnt night 2001) was ntil nn ofliie building. It was the apartment of an inebriated gcutleiiinn. I don t believe he wn very about locking the doors." "It has been testified that Moss was drunk. .Marie testified to that. Moss himself admits it. nnd the common wealth upholds their testimony. Moss might not hnve seen the gun. but how nbout Mnrle? As in the testimony, she had nothing to drink until she had (he 'sociable sip' in Peirce's room. Wouldn't Mnric have se"ii the cun? Yt she tes. titled she did not. Whote is the plot in this whole thing. When Pelrce had lilt. fliut ,l.Itil. in ftm rnnm ill. IV'flll hack in the sideioom and boenmr sick. ' Al !. i.nlnl llnrl.. nm Tre.li un v agreed that the man was too intoxicated to go on n parly. I -ist Drink Fatal One "When Peirce came back he had an other drink. If lie lind not insisted on having thnt drink they never would have seen Klliott come in the doorway They wouldn't have gotten out of the office before he came in. No. gentle men, it does not show n plot, but shows thnt Klliott wns the one who perpetrated the crime. Tbeie is not one bit of testimony In show Ihtii Treadway raised his hand against ll'eiice. Then, gentlemen of the jury. you nre not ministers of vengeance, jou I me ministers of justice. "The crime of larceny has Ijc.-ii hi might U(i und we will nuswer that ill another tinv. "The mere presence of Trendwnv at the scene of the ciime is not sufficient to convict this hoy of murder. It must lie Shown that there was a scheme to rob. The commonwealth has not shown nor proven that. The fact that Tread way pawned anything at Cumberland. Haltimoie or Wheeling proves nothing. "lie ran away with Marie because thev were hist seen in the company of 1'eirce. You gentlemen heard Marie nn the stand. She contradicted Moss. We are not concerned in her. lie who is without sin among you. cast the first stoni. Tvndwu" or I will not. "Hoots" Clover Witness "Yo'i saw how calm, cool and col lected she was ut all times. You saw how helpful her cleer III tie brain was to her. You heard her tell about the gun. If that was a lie isn't it pos sible that Hie story she told flboilt the whole nffair is n lie? "How can you believe anything she snys? She had every reason to lie. She is not only indicted for murder, but uImj as nn occessory after the fact. I con not explain to you gentlemen what that means, but I can explain why Tread way told the story that he did. He told il because he stuck to the girl nil through. He had a word and he kept it. Did she.' No, she died In unload on him. He stuck to her when Klllott and Moss (led from " Wheeling, when their (upliire was imminent; he stuck to her nnd he gave n false name because lie was trying to save her. He is nnly lis guilty as Moss and the girl, as an uccessory after the fuel, iu that lie de posed of the loot. "When they were locked up heie iu City Hall, she snid to this hoy. "Slick In y mr story.' and he is still sticking. He is iviiding no tcsponsihility. lie shirks nn duty. Marie and Moss luixe probably paid their debts to the coin mouwea'llh by testifying. You are not trying Moss, whom the district nttorney classed ns a (iriiuiicn iooi, nor arc you trying the girl. 'He l-'alr" Is I'le.i "You are Irving this boy here who branded with the mark of Cain. Treat him inlrly. You must. Weigh caie fully the evidence before you. My heart and soul are in this case, the same as any niiiii with red blood would he. I have pointed oul everything to you. I have held back nothing. We have nothing to hold back. "You must benr lu mind thnt this boy stands on the threshold of death, and also bear in mind that 1 nm not pleading for a boy who has stolen an automobile, but who is chat god with a grave crime. "Wo Etaud here in the temple of Justice, and in the name of that justice, I nsk you in all fairness to weigh care fully every thing nnd to consider nil and then decide whether or not the com monwealth has proved the guilt of that boy beyond n rcnsounblc doubt." Denies Seeking "Victim" Mr. Kpelser began his final summing up nt 11:10 o'clock. "It is not tho law of Pennsylvania asking" for a victim. It Is not your act or my act or his honor's net or. counsel s net that brings this defend ant here. It Is his net; It's what he did. "We can't deny Hint n man In the flush nf manhood lost his life in a mean, low nnd contemptible way, nnd the commonwealth has arraigned this de fendant and charged him with tills crime. And if you make your minds up fearlessly, neither you nor I nor his honor are condemning him to n felon's death. Ills own net, Ills wantonness and cruelty are what are fending him to denth. "The. question has been raised that there was nothing sinister about thci way he was living under a different nnme. Ordinarily that makes no dif ference to me. I don't care. I don't care anything nbout his morality." I don t care if he has a hundred guns nnd flftv holsters, so lone ns his nets are within the law. Hut if you have n combination where n tnnn hns four false names, nnd I hen with a woman not his wife under an ussumed nnme, when he is not working, and he hns a holster iu his possession and n cun. nnd con sorts with low companions, these fuefs become very sinister, mysterious and importnnt testimony . "There bus been nn nttempl here to gild the Illy, tb speak of' a 'young man just entering mnnhood. Innocent of wrong-doing.' who mixed up with tin-fortunate- companionship. That is paint ing him iu false colors. No such youth appears. There is no evidence here of good family, of stability or that he worked for his living bv the sweat of his brow nnd merely through unfor tunate circumstances was caught in the net. You don't even yet know who this defendnnt Is. You don't know yet ex cept through his own lips thnt he Is Peter Treadway." Insists on Fair Verdict Here Thomas .1. Minnick. of counsel 'for the defense, objected, but Judge Atl denrlcd ruled that Mr. Spelser had snld nothing to hurt I lie defendant, and the objection cairied no weight. Mr. Spelser resumed. "Gentlemen, don't be technical in your judgment. He fnir. Don't think of special reasons. Don't be credulous. Don't let fnKe sentiment sway you. ITse the fairness which God bus en dowed you wmi. "I want it distinctly understood." continued Mr. SpoNor. "that I am not llinkillg nil attack oil this mail's clmr ncler. I am making It upon his actions. Ifom the time when lie tool; the rooms in the Walnut streets house. Ills coun sel's inference that he is it line young mnn wilh charnclcr. a victim of cir cunistniicon, is not borne out by his own testimony . Scores Pose of Gallantry "Mr. Patterson tells us thai the timony of what happened ufter left Philadelphia is of no value; tes they that Treadway was only trying to he gallant and protect n woman. He wns trying to protect himself iu danger, nnd not the womnn. He used n false name; he tried to hide; he tried to send the de tectives on n false scent after a man ho now snys was guilty of no crime.

Hut 1 ask you. in the coolness of your brains, whether the infeience which counsel tried to get into the jury box to the effect that she was not telling the truth on the stand here, in trying to save herself, was a truthful inference.

Wheie does she suy n ing!e thing, except her statement nbout I he gun. which he dues not ugice was the absolute truth? Defends Story of Girl "And another thing: if Marie wne perjuring herself nnd wns willing to consign her soul to bell nnd blame it on Treadway. if she is subject to the wiles of the district attorney and the detec tives, do you think she would hnve stopped short with suying she saw him with the gun? She could have said easily. 'Certainly I saw him give the gun to Klliott coming up the steps.' She could have lied the full limit, but she did not do that nnd it shows she wus telling tho truth. Why? Ilceiiusc she did not see it. She could not from her po.sition on tho landing. Tr.-aduny in his statement snys. ' stood on the top step und passed the gun down to Kl liolt.' "Peirce could not open the lock. This gallant young mnn does not help. He tells Marie to do it. Suppose you were escorting a young woman you wvrc in-tcre.-,ted in, would you nsk her to help nnother man? What made Treadway so busy nt that time? Was it laziness.' Or was he actually engaged in doing .something else? Argues Conspiracy Proved "Mr. Patterson calls on the Com monwealth to show intent to rob, and to show (hat Treadway had u pari in it. I meet that chullenge uml I go further. Mr. Spelser then lead Moss' test! ninny, concerning the conversation be-two-ii the men before Treadway went to PcIic'h npaitmcut. and said that sounded like conspiracy to rob. "Isn't nil the i orrobonition nf an understanding made under the bridge indicative of o pm pose of robbery ? They proposed to make a lich haul of his person nml his car as wc!J.

Mr. Spciscr pointed out thnt Trend way lind indorsed everything said in his favor nnd denied every word tit tered ngainst him. "After making tiicse statements he cannot refute them now simply because it pins the crime to him. A man no (used of murder cannot wave these things aside," Mr. Spelser here ended his nddress, nnd .fudge Audcnricd began his charge, 'BOOTS' AND MOSS MAY GET LIGHT SENTENCES The rumor spread through the court todoy that .Joseph A. .Moss nnd "Hoots" Hogcrs never would bo brought to trial in the Pelrce murder. Their testimony in the Treadway trial was of material aid to the com monwealth; In fact without it there would have been no case whatever against Trendwnv. According to the accepted story, the arrangement which hns been made by the district attorney's office is to sub mit the bills indicting Moss and the girl for murder, mid bring them into court, to plead on the bill chnrglng them with being ncrissorles after the fuel. It has bpen nrrnnged, nccording to tnc siory, ror them to plend guilty nnd I17 given light sentences. Assistant District Attorney Spelser said he could not discuss this rumor wlien asked about it at the trial today. ' I don't know anything nbout thai," he said. "It Is a mutter up to William lilidlny lirown. special assistant dls trie attorney in chnrgo of murder enses. 'Will Moss be tried next week?" he was asked. "Nn. he will not." he snld. "When, then, will ho be tried?" "If he Is tried it will be nt the April term."

Wants No Secularism "We ought to tnke the time to see thut the civilization of our pilgrim fathers is brought back, thnt we have not blue but white Sundays, that we do not have the rationalistic, materialistic interests of (Jertnany, that the Hook which made civilization Is brought back into education. This is no time to sec ularize America." Dr. Wilson sttoke nn the efforts in va rious states to repeal liquor laws nnd to enact other laws covering the sale of liquor as well as legislation which would legalize race tracks and the sale of cigarettes to minors, Irish Protest Resolution The resolution protesting against "(ionium and Sinn Fein Propaganda," passed Thursday by the conference, lias drawn it debate challenge from tho Phil adelphia local council of the Friends of Irish Freedom. In u letter signed by John T. Flood, its secretory, addressed to Hlshop Hcrry, the council said it noted the resolu tion "with surprise nnd regret." Sinn Fein, the letter explained, is the (iaelic way of expressing the aspirations of the Irish people for self-rule. "So confident are we thnt you und most of the good men of the conference have been grossly deceived ns to the prin ciples of Stun Fein." the niessiige con tinued, "thut we respectfully challenge the authors of the 'resolution of pro test' to dehnte the subject with. say. three widely known Portestant clergy men whom we will name, nnd who thor oughly understand the question from the American viewpoint." Today's session opened nt 0 o'clock with a praye.i- by the Kev. .1. IJ. C. I latum. The -first business was the pas sage of a resolution, moved by the Itev. Kilwnrd Kushton. which congratulated Dickinson College for its work in train ing ministers. Dickinson College Praised Dr. ltiishron said the general educa tion board of the Methodist Kpiscopal It's wonderful what a big difference a little paint and paper make to a house. When a man wears an old suit for a long time he looks shabby and run down. Put a new suit on him and you'd think it was a different man. Same with a house Dress it up with a new coat of paint, and it doesn't look like the same house. Then, too, it improves the property and the neighborhood. Costs less to do it this spring than last Then, too, you're doing a real good by giving work to the unemployed. You're helping the com munity as well as your property. Why not have your house painted and papered now? A postal, and we'll send a man to talk it over with you.
