Judge Jlagle's Chanre Is FavoraMe to llnndorf and Fall. TIIE JUKOKS WANT ALL THE EVIDENCE Hie Solon case went to the jury yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and the verdict will not be known nntil this morning at 9:30. The whole of yesterday was taken np with the addresses of counsel and charge of the Court. Mr. Patterson spoke first, devotimj nearly liis entire speech to the history of the or der. He taid Godfrey was the man who had built up the organization, spending a great deal of bis time and money, and that now he stands charged with crimes against it. It was JIundorf who first reported the apparent shortage to Ball, and the latter took steps to I.ave the charges investigated. Yet they all stand charged with conspiring to ruin the order they worked so hard to maintain. Mr. Patterson said the prose cutor had participated in the paying of warrants over the counter, a thing he had complained so much about The speaker urged that the defendants should be acquit ted and the costs put on the prosecutor, whom he saia had falsely brought the charges. Mr. Kobb followed, saying that the whole case is a persecution. "What has bothered rue," said he, "is where is JJeatty wnere is the man who accused Godfrey ot being 14.000 short? AVhere Is the man who seems to be behind the case? He is the man who kept the books where the alleged shortage was found. Not Called to Testify. "He was not put on the stand to explain this matter, but he was cleverly suppresed in this case. We hare shown that at the time Godfrey was charged with being 1,353 eliort, he was really 540 long and I ask that the defendants be acauitted." Mr. Porter then began his address which was not finished until the afternoon cession. Ho said: "We have shown vou that between September 25 and October 23, Godfrev drpoited to the credit of Solons over 512,000 more than was received bv the order from all sources. He raised this to cover his shortage. He had used the funds o! the order, and to cover this shortage he cot monev from some source aud deposited it, but that still left him $1,300 short and how was that made up Godfrey vas suspended October 3, but he kept the kevs ot the cash drawer. Of this amount SS00 was Godfrey's check on his private account. I believe John SI. Ball was the tool of God rey and Mundorf. Why didn't Godfrey show the experts who examined his books this money lie claimed to have in the cash drawer? Be cause it wasn't there. AH this talk about there beinz H.000 or 55,000 in the drawer is nonsense, and you or I don't believe it" Judge Slagie then charged the jury. His address was considered a very lair and im partial one so lar as Godfrey is concerned, but he verv plainly indicate! that he did rot think Mundorf or Ball should be con victed. He ciled the law bearing on em b'zzlement and conspiracy, and reviewed the evidence in the present case. Godfrej's Dnty to tlio Experts. In speakinc of the 56,000 in warrants that ere said to have been drawn alter Septem ber 25, Judge Slale thought this could not affect the condition of the treasury prior to that date, and should not be so considered. He said Godfrev should have shown the ex perts whatever money he had on hand and assisted them in any way possible to arrive st a correct audit, and tiis failure to do so might be reasonable grounds for bringing the suit When the jurv retired thev asked for all the checks and warrants in the case, to gether with the report ot the experts and the bank book. There was a disposition at first not to let these go to the jury room, but thev were finally given to the jury. The Court waited until after 4 o'clock, but there was no indication that a verdict would be arrired at last night, when an ad journment was taken until this morning.
