NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Oloso of the Great Edglngton Case Now
Seems Oloso at Hand ,
TESTIMONY AND ARGUMENTS ALL GIVEN
'
-
Sovrrnl WltnrMC * Cnlloi ! Ycntrrdny In Ile-
lintliil nnd 1 lion tlie Attorney Uc-
gnn In Hrimou tlin Mutter for
the Jurr's Killllnitlon.
Hardly nny business was transacted In the
federal court yesterday , outside of the IMS-
liiKlon pcnslmi caec , end e\en then the sub-
ilsilon of the case to the jury hail to be
until this morning.
\Vti ti the imrnlng tension opened Judge
Voolson decided tu admit the evidence of Dr
Veils an to the finding of a certificate on
10 bojy of the defendant's father , showing
hat JI. T. IMRltigton had boon admitted to
he practice of law at Qrc-nllPld , la. 'Ihe
efenso obj'ctod to this evidence when It
as I nt rod , iced the night before.
Lieutenant IJaxter of company C. I'lrst
egirneiit , volunteer Infantry of Iowa , was
tit on tlm aland by the prosecution and
. tilled that If , as claimed by the defense ,
here hntl c\er bo ° n any P. M. IMglngton
nllstcd In his company , he had not knoun
Im. On croas-examlnatlon Attorney Mc-
'herson ' , after asking him as to whether
hat company fought at the battle ofVlhon
reek , and receiving an affirmative reply ,
"Now , Lieutenant Baxter , you may name
lie union sold ITS vvlio fought at the battle
f Wilson Greek. "
Tlio witness soon recovered breath enough
o Bay he could not do It , nnd then Me-
Micrson brought out the books ot Uie nd-
iittint's odlce nnd read aonio namei of com-
ny C , First regiment , llrown , Dartow. IJerry-
man , and lulf a dorcn others , all from
tidKO Woolson's home , but Maxtor was un-
ble to recollect having known any of them
ny more than he could Edglngton.
Dr. Wells of Lemars , Mo. , who had seen
ho body of P. M Eilglngton when It was
aKen up , four months after burial , said It
vas In a bad condition.
W. II Coou , an undertaker of Avow , said
hit when a body was In the water , as that
was , It wo ild decompose more rapidly
han when In dry soil W. C. Estep of this
city testified to the same thing- .
OPENED Tim ARGUMENTS.
In the afternoon the arguments were com-
nenced Judge Woolson extended the usual
iour and a hilf for each side to two hours.
He notified the crowd that filled all the
space outride the railing and most of that
nslde that If any demonstration were made
iy any ono nt any stage of the arguments
the offender would b.- brought before him
or contempt.
T. 12. Casady made the opening speech for
ho government , dwelling chletly on the evl-
lenco In the case. The only question , he
sild , was whether or not P. M Edglngton ,
he defendant's father , vvis a soldier , and he
did not believe from Ihe evidence that he
was , or that his son ever saw his dead body.
T Genung , on behalf of the defense ,
said that the strongest reason for believing
iliat Edgington was In the army lay In the
'act that there was a family tradition to
that effect , a tradition like that to be found
n the family of eveiy soldier In the land
Up supposed that ol all the soldiers within
.he sound of his voice there were very
few who had children who could tell In what
: ompany their fathers had fought ; all they
< new was that their fathers had fought In
.ho bolld phalanx that charged under Grant
The fact that In miking the affidavit by
Edglngton the date of his father's death was
given as 18SC , Instead of 1SS8 , he attributed
to an honest mistake , on the part of Edging-
ton or Pension Examiner Hrown , he did not
konvv or care which.
J. J. Shea devoted some HttJe attention to
Pension Examiner Drown , detailing the
scheme concocted by him to secure an affl-
ilavlt from young Edglngton when he knew
that the government suspected some one In
the case of fraud. Drown , he said , possd as
the friend of the Edglngtons , and catching
them off their guard , entrapped thorn Into
making dangerous admissions , to bo used
later on In securing their conviction. "do
liome to your children , " ho said , "and tell
them , after hearing the evidence In this
case , never to make nffl lavlt about any
thing under nny circumstances. Ar.J tell
them If they over see a pension agent
around to lock the door. "
M'PIIBRSON'S SPEECH IN DEFENSE.
Smith McPherson followed for the defense.
Ho held that outside the testimony of Edg
lngton No 2 there was not the slightest evi
dence to prove that the defendant'8 father
was not In the army. He did not know as
Edgington was In the war , but he did Know
that his client believed he was. The failure
of "Lieutenant Somebody or other" ( refer
ring to Daxter ) to recognize the names of his
comrades he did not think nt all strange ,
but his testimony only went to show that
the evidence Introduced by the government
did not rlio to the dignity of proof. Voting
Edglngton could not have known. Indeed no
one was simrt enough to tell beforehand ,
what the next congress would do , so that his
making a false affidavit would have been
without any purpose.
When District Attorney Pullen rose to
make his closing speech he was plainly
angry. The attorne > s for the defense , he
said , scorned to be very much exercised over
the "collar" which he and his associates
wore , and to which reference was made by
McPherson at the opening of the trial. The
only collar he wore was his oith of office ,
and the Jurors wore the same sort of collar
The attorneys for the defense also vvoro
a collar , but It was a collar mads of gold
dollirs. The * second burial of old man
Edglngton he considered a myth , and the
fact that young Edglngton was willing to
make a false affidavit when he was talking
to Pension Examiner Drown , a supposed
friend , he considered put him In even a
worse light. The visit of Mrs. Edglngton to
her husband's parents , nnd never once , In
the course of a visit of several days , hearing
them called by their names , was an Im
probable story. Young Edglngton had Inher
ited a streak of crookedness from his father ,
and it had manifested Itself In the false affi
davit " to which he had placed his signature.
T"he refusal of his mother to Identify her
signature to the affidavit she had made was
a suspicious circumstance.
Mr. Fullen hnd still half nn hour to his
credit when court adjourned , and he will
put that In this morning , after which the
case will go to the Jury.
