ATTORNEYS ARGUE AT LENGTH
Witnesses on Either Side Scored by
Opposing Collate! in Plraa for or
Against Man Accused of
Jury Tampering;.
Whether Al Keenan goes free or la to
ttsnd trial In district court will be an
nounced by County Judge Lrf-slle at 10
O'clock this morning. The hearing of evi
dence and argument was concluded yes
terday afternoon.
County Att-rney English summed up for ,
the state at the afternoon session, follow- '
Ing the closing remarks of A. W. Jefferls
for the defendant, Jfferls having con
tinued after the noon sdjournament his i
analysis of the evidence of Barrett and
Van Cleve against Keenan.
English argued that a considerable
quantity of Irrelevant material had been
Injected Into the case by the other side
and he paid considerable attention to the
address of J. J. O'Connor, scoring ' that
lawyer for calling Judgea Kennedy and
Day "grandstand players."
"Mr. dross' testimony with regard to
the promissory' note Is Irrelevant to the
main Issue here as Jefferla has said," de
clared English, "but It Is no more Ir
relevant than Barrett's about the purpose
for which he sought money from Keenan."
It was on this point that Barrett at an
afternoon session withdrew statements he
had made In the morning about paying hla
mother's Insurance, though admitting he
had not told Keenan the truth.
Then English read the testimony of
Gross on cross-examination with regard to
the promissory note and contraated it with
the testimony of Bhotwell that Kef nan
hawed him the note made payable to
Keenan by Ores for $100.
Juror's Ktldeuc Attacked.
Jesse O. Barrett and J. V. VanCleve
ere depicted In highly unflattering colors
at the morning session, and Attorney
Henry C. Murphy came In for a share of
the denunciation.
Thla occurred in the arguments of J. J.
O Connor and A. W. Jefferla In behalf of
Keenan, while previously County Attorney
English had served notice that If this hap
pened he "would be prepared to discuss
their witnesses at some length."
English had attempted to nullify the on
slaught on his witnesses in his opening
address, but It was doubted If he succeeded
In completely neutralising the vigorous
grilling Barrett and Vsn Cleve received
at the hands of Jefferls.
That attorney devoted himself to an an
alysis of their testimony at various times
and was more sparing of epithets than
O'Connor. The latter called them "lying
scoundrels, black as hell's self." Jefferls
dubbed them 'lame ducks" and "these In
nocent virgins."
Before argument began the state re
Introduced Van Cleve for brief testimony
and then called Clinton Brome to testify
ss to the date of the conference In Judge
Bears' office. ,
Ahotweli w the Note.
The next witness waa Attorney Frank A.
Bhotwell. He testified Keenan had shown
him the night he was arrested a promla
aory note signed by Arthur Gross in favor
of Keenan. Gross, when testifying, de
nied that he had ever Issued any note in
Keenan'a favor.
The county attorney spoke with compara
tive brevity In opening the argument A
considerable portion of his remarks con
sisted of an attempt to fortify Barrett and
Van Cleve against the attack certain to
come, and he also declared with regard to
Henry Murphy that "his conduct hss been
entirely praiseworthy and an honeet at
tempt to set right the district court of
Douglas county."
"How little," continued English, "they
will e:iy with regard to the material por
tions of Barrett's testimony and how much
with regard to the insurance. If N they do
we may feel called upon to diacuas some
of their witnesses."
J. J. O'Connor In reply declared that "the
recent outcry against jury-fixing la nothing
but an attempt to prejudice the public so
that verdicts may be secured against the
street car company In 'hold-up cases.' "
O'Connor declared that "It aeems this
case had lta inception on the 25th of April
when Barrett visited Murphy the first time.
Then was the adder's egg hatched."
I tterly I urt saonsblr, He Says.
The attorney then urged that It was ut
terly unreasonable to believe that the street
car company would attempt to Influence
jury In a case like that of Stewart when
the case of the plaintiff waa weak.
"Corporations," said O'Connor, "do not
buy that which has no value."
Next he urged that there had been dis
courtesy shown Judge Day In his not being
Invited, as the lawyer asserted, into the
Conference in Judge Sears' office, when
Judgea Bears and Kennedy and a number
of attorneys and the two jurors were
present.
"There Is honor among thieves, among
lawyera, among gentlemen, and courtesy
should have been ' shown Judge Day In
this matter, since he presided at the trial."
Then the attorney went on to call the
present case "part of such a conspiracy as
we have had before to Influence public
sentiment so that verdicts can be secured
against the street car company In hold-up
cases.
"They do not go to Judge Day, but to
the other judgea, and half a dosen of
them, Henry Murphy among them, de
termined to Invoke the power of Douglas
county that a movement should be worked
up to create a public sentiment against the
street car company."
. Compares Him to St. Peter.
O'Connor closed with a similitude of Bar
rett to St. Peter. He waa led Into tt In
thla way:
"On Barrett this case must stand or fall.
He Is the rook on which this case rests,
just as St. Peter Is the rock on which the
Catholic church rests."
A. W. Jefferls followed In an- address,
analysing and attacking the testimony cf
Vancleve and Barrett. Inconsistencies be
tween the two and between each man with
himself at different times, ware pointed
out to the court. The chief point which
Jefferls made had to do with what he
called "the development" of their testi
mony. Tsklng the affidavits which each
made before Attorney Brome for a new
trial In the Stewart case, Jefferla showed
that the teatlmony of both on the stand
was much more ample, and he asserted
that they had been drilled by Henry Mur
phy with a view to Inculpating Keenan,
the testimony in the affidavits, Jefferls
said, not being sufficient to do this.

PARIS, May 21 Continuing his letters
In Figaro Signor Ouglelmo Ferrero, the
Italian historian who recently visited the
I'nited States, undertakes to explain today
the moral upheaval In America of the
last few years against some "methods of
high finance." He says that Europe, to
comprehend America and the crises pre
paring there should not confound the antl
plutocratic movement with European so
cialism. After reviewing the Immense
sensation caused by the crusade of In
dividual writers and official Inquiries and
prosecutions Into matters of Industry and
finance, which hs says have made Europe
believe America was a seething caldron of
moral corruption, Signor Ferrero Insists
that a close examination compels a dif
ferent conclusion. He gives It as his
opinion that the antl-plutocratlo movement
was festered by the Jealousies of the
middle claases against the rich and that
it borrowed many catch words from social
ism. Its fundamental Idea, however, was
to prove that America, so often accused
of materialism, was still strongly Inspired
by purttanloa.1 tradition and democratic
instincts.
