DEFENSE DEMANDS VERDICT MotUa to that Effiot is Argui ia Dyl Birn Init lAWVEBS SCATHING IN THEIR TALK MxclinttKr Cmistlc Vlrtrs nn I he Hon esty if I'urnnac of Ihn ltlvnl Mlnliix ClNlninnts llcfenan Opnis ArKoment. Tho defense In the Doylc-llurns suit tiled two motions yesterday morning, ' ono to strike out certain' portions of tho plaintiff's evidence and tho other to direct a verdict for tbo defendant. Argumonts on tho motions occupied tho entire day and woro not completed at adjournment. Thoy nro expected to take all of today. This evening, or as soon ns tho arguments aro finished. Judgo Green will adjourn court until Monday morning, when tho Jury will reassomblo and tho taking of testimony for tho defenso will bo begun. Tho first motion sets up the statute of frauds In the contention thnt if Doylo had an interest In tho mining claims In contro ver.iy It was an equltahlo ono which should be established In a court of emilty and not In an action of law. Tno motion is praeu enllv the same ns wns submitted heforo Judgo Mncy In the former trial and over ruled by him. This was not argued orally, but will bo submitted on briefs. Tho motion to direct a verdict for tho defendant sets up numerous alleged grounds. It contends that Doyle, having objured himself by controverting his test I mony given in tho suit of O'Halro against nurns regarding matters connected witn and Identified with tho suit at bar, Is not now entitled to have a Jury dotcrralno his alleged clnlm. A further contention Is thnt Doylo and Hums were directors In tho Portland Gold Mining company nt the tlmo of tho purchaso of tho threo mines In con troversy nnd that Doyle, having failed at that tlmo to disclose publicly his claim to an equal partnership In tho property, per nertratod a froud upon the other directors and Is not now entitled to nn equity. Also, that Doylo received 25,000 shares of the stock Issued for tho purchnso of these mines as a present from Hums and that his nepnntnnce of them Is a sufficient bar to his now bringing suit. Another allegation Is thnt If any agreoment existed between Doylo and Hums tho former failed to per form his part of the contract and there foro abandoned any claim ho might havo had. ArtrnnieutN Are Dramatic. Tho opening argument for tho defonso was made by Congressman Smith in part and Mr. Thomas. Tho former governor of Colorado, in his scathing arraignment of James Doyle, was almost dramatic In his Intensity. At the closing of his address In support of tho motion to tako from the Jury and direct n verdict for his client, James Hums, Mr. Thomae said: "It you allow this solf-confeBsed perjurer to pro stnt his fraudulent and spurious claim to this Jury it will forever blacken tho annals of Justice nnd will incite ovory criminal to imllar actions." 1 C. J. Hughes, who replied for the plaintiff, was none tho less forclblo In his language at tho opening of his argument and was almost ns dramatic as Mr. Thomas. Ho said: "If the court deny this plaintiff a right to present his caso to twelve of his peers tho Goddess of Justlco who sits upon tho.domo abovo us will bow her head with shame and forever refuse to look In the face of a law abiding nnd liberty loving people It may be that Doylo should bo punished, but It would be trav esty If Hurns, with his Ill-gotten gains, should bo his Jailer, nnd nurns' attorneys his castlgators." Mr. Hughe' argument was not completed when court ndjourncd for tho dny. lie will bo followed by Senator ratterson, who will make the closing argument for the do- fenso. A Chance to Get n Turkey Free.
