Johnson, of Kansas, and Judge Fred White, of Pontiac. 111. Mr. Johnson was Democratic national committeeman for Kansas during Mr. Bryan's last campaign, while Mr. Talbot is a Republican in politics and worked hard to defeat the free silver candidate in two elections. Notwithstanding this fact, and the fact that the relations between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Johnson have always be-en most cordial.

ARGUMENT IN STAHL TRIAL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE ) in the paths that lead to heavenly joys, but the veriest tyro among the wicked workers In the political field. "There are others and they are all honorable men whose shoe latches we common men are not worthy to unloose, and I will characterize them by saying, 'of such is the kingdom of heaven.' "These men are all worthy men and their cause is a worthy one. but on account of the errors and self-seeking of a few among them, they sit now covered with confusion and with shame-faced righteousness, they have been compelled to listen to the proof of the downfall of a scheme to which they were not active parties, but the burden of which the unthinking public will compel them to bear, because, of him who professes much, much Is expected. "I hate to think that if this scheme against Mr. Logsdon had succeeded that these really good gentlemen would have rejoiced. Let us hope for the honor of humanity that they would have mourned, and that they would have been just as sorry for the success of the scheme as they now look at its defeat. It is an arduous task to be a true reformer, and we must not be too severe in passing Judgment upon schemes which originate from such a source. It is given to but few of us to be perfect, and when we recognize the few. mainly through self-proclamation, we should judge them kindly, if perchance other self-seeking men bring their plans to naught In this wicked world." COMPRISES THREE CRIMES. Taking up his statement of the law, Mr. Spaan pointed out that the statute comprises three crimes. It speaks of iving, promising or offering money to one who holds an office of trust or profit under the laws of the State. There is no question of giving money in this case, he declared, but there is a question of promising money, possibly offering it. There is no dount as to Mr. Logsdon coming within the meaning of the statute when it speaks of one holding an office of trust or profit under the laws of the State. "This part of the statute." he said, "was made bread and comprehensive for the purpose of safeguarding the Integrity of the public s t -ice. In the breadth of the statute it does not matter whether a public officer be connected with a negotiation leading to bribery. We are contending that Stahl is guilty of combining and conspiring to corruptly offer money to a man who falls within the meaning of the law as It defines a public officer. 'They say that Mr. Logsdon could have accepted $1.50u without committing n crime. That, your honor, is a most monstrous doctrine for men who set themselves up as their brothers' keepers. Consider, if you please, what the logical carrying out of such doctrine would lead to; how many crimes could be committed under cover of such a pernicious cloak. The Intent of the Legislature which enacted that law was to absolutely prevent all such corruption. Stahl committed a crime by a corrupt offer, as is plain to be seen under the statute. "The crime is complete when the criminal has completed his criminal act. no matter what attitude Mr. Logsdon may or mav not have taken. As soon as the criminal has shown his criminal mind the crime is rounded out, it does not matter what Mr. Logsdon's part was in the eye of the law. ACTING AS A DECOY. "The contention of the defense Is that the man was simply acting as a decoy; that there was no criminal Intent; that he ought to be discharged. They base their contention on the decision of the Supreme Court in the Banks case, which is so familiar to all of us that it is not necessary for me to even outline it. The court there held that it was error to exclude from the Jury evidence showing the motives of the defense. The court, however, never laid down the doctrine that the matter of motives furnished a complete defense. All the defense could do was to offer the statements of their witnesses as to motives. That I submit is not a real defense in itself, but a pretense real or pretended, as the court or the Jury may determine. Such a defense may be false and fabricated. That is left for the court or the Jury to decide. In this th.- . trine of the Banks case is clearly not present. "The responsible men In this case are four Hilton Ü, Brown. James W. Noel, Dr. George Edwin Hunt and their stoolpigeon, Stahl. It is confessed and admitted that they had no evidence against Logsdon I it is confessed and admitted that there is a

A

IHfl hl

v libel suit for $50.000 against the Indianapolis News for the publication of defamatory matter. Mr. Brown's position is clear. He knew of the libel suit. He knew there was no evidence against Logsdon a decent man could look at. The position of the News was also clear. The News paid the expenses of the St. Louis trip. We find Mr. Brown, general manager of the News, paying T5 to further the 'ends of the conspiracy. We find him employing Smith. Duncan, Hornbrook & Smith to defend Stahl and how much that will cost I leave to the imagination of your Honor. We find him standing good for half the expense of Indemnifying Stahls bond. My deduction is that the money which was put up was the money of the Indianapolis News, not that of Mr. Brown's private purse. His motive in engaging in this conspiracy was not the high motive of Father Gavlsk, not the high motive of Griffith, or Mason, or Swift, but the motive of one who had a $50.000 libel suit to defend and who had to break down Logsdon. "Then WS come to Dr. Hunt, a soldier of fortune, another ex-secretary of the Commercial Club, perverting the uses of the Citizens' League, his only desire being notoriety and advancement. Mr. Day says this kind of scheme was frowned on and voted down by the Citizens' League and that all the information the league obtained sifted through Dr. Hunt. ATTITUDE OF NOEL. "Here we have James W. Noel, Logsdon's friend, who admitted on the witness stand that he had no evidence against Logsdon. All that he had was simply rumor, rumor, that foul bird that never lights; that foul falcon loosed by men to strike their friends. Noel was not employed to prosecute in the sense that Mr. Ruckclshaus is employed to prosecute crime. He was there to see that justice was done an honorable man in this mattor his frienti. He was not employed or authorized to go to St. Louis to employ a detective. And yet I can easily read Mr. Noel's mind. I can easily see what rosy visions he had of becoming famous like another Folk. I expect when he was In St. Louis he went to see the house and lot that was offered to Mr. Folk but which Folk did not take. I can see his visions of pelf and power of the State Senate, perhaps. He thought, well if Logsdon his friend went to the devil there would then be nothing for him to fear. Did he go to St. Iuis and pay hi? own expenses like an honest man? NO. He tlenles he charged the Indianapolis News a fee. but I leave the court to draw Its own conclusions. Noel Is a hypocrite, carrying water on both shoulders. "The first gleam of hope came to the intelligent face of my friend Duncan when I failed to obtain from Mr. Shea the statement that he heard Ifoel say there was no evidence against Logsdon and that Logsdon was an honest man. I saw that gleam reflected on the faces of the distinguished gentlemen who occupy the 'mourners' bench mourners' bench from the point of view of the State, at least. And yet that statement was made by Mr. Noel whether Shea heard it or not. There is Mr. Eppert. a good man, a common fellow like the rest of us. with a propensity for Inquiring into the ways and wherefores of things, as good a man as Noel; there Is Mr. Wynne, a good man. as good as Noel, almost as good as Stahl , the y declare Noel said it. What does Shea's testimony amount to in the light of this? "Noel denied that he used the term farmer' In alluding to Stahl before tht committee, ami yet there is the written report of the session of the committee, sanctioned by all three of the members, in which is the plain statement that Noel said to the committee that Stahl acted like a farmer when he was caught and gave up all h- knew. This contradiction shows plainly that Mr. Noel has come to the pass that he is readv to take issue with the committee. Ah. this Mr. Noel! When Stahl told the truth this good man was surprise. 1. Why Stahl ought to be calendared ameng the saints insteael of sent to the penitentiary' These reformers who are helping us to be good ougnt to be pleased to have one honest man among ihem. Surprised? Of course they were surprised. They now Intended the public should know the truth, the devious ways taken to ruin an hon -t man. So much for Mr. Noel, a man of monumental egotism revolving upon a peanut intellect. AFRAID TO TESTIFY. "Stahl, their stool pigeon, was afraid to go cn th stand. A Just course, isn't it? The only men that went on were forced on. The truth was wrested from them with forceps. Your honor, a holy and Just cause does not need a criminal lawyer. Mr. Duucan spoke of my 'plays to the grand stand." He shook his fist and rumbled about the truth And yet be could brlug no evidence

nly reports and rumors. Why should Stahl fear to go on the witness stand? No man who is honest need fear that ordeal. But you must remember he is the crystallized eftVrt of a holy reform. Holy reform, indeed! The whole matter is the desperate struggle of the Indianapolis News to break down the damage suit of Mr. Logsdem. Stahl lied to Gerber. Is that the conduct of a man whose course is right and Just? "Logsdon who is he that tongues should wag against him? He is a man known well in the community. Who knows aught to his discredit? He Is in iolltlcs; therefore, he has many friends. He has many friends; therefore, they are of all kinds. He Is In politics; therefore, he is the victim of malign rumor and false report. Rumor again rumor, that evil bird that hovers always, but never lights. He has been criticised in a general way. as all public mn have, but he stands to-day before the public absolutely above reproach. Against him Noel had one or two purposes to serve his employer, the Indianapolis News, or to prostitute his desire for notoriety. Mr. Noel, I call attention, was employed not as a ghoul, but as an investigator. Logsdon had to be frie-nds with all men. Gus Rahke. with loaded dice In his pocket, or Father Gavlsk, in his priestly robes, came within the circle of his friendship. His peditical work demanded contact with all sorts of men. CONSULTED NOEL. "When (he scheme was hatched the conspirators consulted Noel, this man who admits he never read the statute before, never read a decision of the courts on it, and yet is able to construe It In five minutes' examination. But unfortunately his construction was wrong. These men are guilty of offering money corruptly under the statute. As for the Banks case, it simply holds that if a man is guilty of a crime he has a right to introduce testimony that will show his motives. The distinction between this and the Banks case is most obvious, as your honor will see. In that one a man was incited to crime who was known to have committed a crime of similar nature. In this an innocent man was incited to crime without the shadow of evidence against him of any crime whatever. Detectives are recognized as necessary Instruments. The courts have held they have a right to entangle one against whom there is evidence of crime. But they have no right to corrupt a man when they have not a shred of evidence against him. "We have shown that Brown. Noel. Hunt and Stahl conspired to corruptly offer Logsdon money with no other evidence than these bastard reports. They do not deny this. Their act here was plainly an attempt to bribe a man holding a public office. Brown, Hunt and Noel are equally guilt v with Stahl. They are responsible for hla acts. The State asks that this man be bound over. You are Fitting as the examining magistrate. If you think there is any evidence that this man is guilty under the statute you should bind him over." Mr. Smith's Argument. With this Mr. Spaan's preliminary argument was concluded and Mr. Charles W. Smith arose to make the argument for the defense. "I shall argue this case." he said. "from the standpoint that we concede the truth of every statement made favorable to the State; excluding all statements unfavorable to the State, In every way construing the evielence in favor of the State. Conceding all this the State has wholly failed to produce any evidence which justifies the binding of Mr. Stahl over to the grand Jury- On the contrary, the evidence absolutely forbids such action by the court. "The principles involved are so simple and plain they are perfectly clfar even to the layman. It is an easy task to outline them." Mr. Smith then took hold of the situation with the beginning of the investigation into the letting of sprinkling and sweeping contracts. He said: "The investigation was ordered by Council on charges brought against Mr. Logsdon. When it tame to securing an attorney Mr. Noel refused to have anything to do with it unless it should be guaranteed that he should have a free hand and that the investigation should be broad and thorough no whitewashing. The committee assented to that proposition. Noel started with the right to search and search to the bouom. He was acting with the idea that he heed not stay his hand even for his friends. The investigation began to broaden and all kinds of testimony wis allowed to be introduced. The committee assented to requests that all kinds of alleged official crookedness be taken cognlxance of. 8CSPECTED GAMBLING. "About "this time these gentlemen thought they bad fair grounds for the belief that

crime and gambling were being protected. They had just suspicions. They had more than mere rumors and reports. It was a matter of public knowledge, denied by none, that gamblers' lines to the amount of many thousands of dollars stood unpaid on the books of the city clerk. They knew there was no attempt to secure payment. Suspicion arose from this fact. The inference was that Influence was being exerted. It has since been disclosed that this inference was wrong in part; that fines had been paid to the city clerk which were not reported by him as paid and which were not entered on his cash books as paid. Some of this was adjusted, but thousands still remained. It was known that Gus Rake maintained a gambling resort within the Jurisdiction of this court. It was known that the gambling was open, that slot machines were openly used, and that no attempt was made to prevent it. This gave Just grounds for suspicion. "It was realized there was only one way to discover the truth. That was to get a man to assume the character of a gambler or of a dealer in gambling devices to find out if crime was being protected. The experience in other cities shows that no aid can be procured from the police and detective forces, if they are concerned, naturally they will not tell. If their superior officers are guilty, naturally they will not tell them so. So. these men knowing about the work and success of Mr. Folk a gentie man as much maligned and hated by those men whom he has deprived of a residence in 8t. Louis for the time as these gentlemen are by the men on the other side and those who sympathise with them decided to ask his advice. They asked him if he had a good man. Folk recommended Stahl, whom he said was quick, effective and reliable. Stahl agreed to come if his salary of $5 a day and expenses was assured. That was agreed to by the Citizens' League later. STAHL'S INSTRUCTIONS. "Stahl was not directed toward Logsdon at all. The trial was not expected to lead to Logsdon, it was expected to run elsewhere. So far as Stahl knew Noel went to St. Louis as the representative of the Council committee. Stahl came here and found Noel In pretty od company. He came to the conclusion that honest men were seeking to uncover vice. He had no instructions against Logsdon. His instructions were, first, to find out whether crime is being protected; second, to lind the man or men protecting It. Stahl had to take the alias of Smith. There Is nothing contrary to law or good morals in that. He assumed the character of the representative of ;.n assummed slot machine company so as to get in touch with the men he was sent to reach. The 'fake' telegram we hear so murh about was not in violation of law or morals. The purpose of the telegram was not to introduce an honest man to Logsdon. The telegram was not the instruction of an honest man, but of a scoundrel. It was for the purpose of showing Logsdon that this man was a briber of dishonest officials, to show that a dishonest agreement would be carried out I n !, r the ruling your Honor felt constrained to make we were unable to show how Stahl came to go to Logsdon. The same class of mm as himself In his assumed character told him to go to Logsdon. Fred Heler and Gus Rahke told him Logsdon was the man to give the protection he needed. Logsdon and Stahl agree as to the important details of the reports. There is no conflict between them .as to what took place at these meetings. Logsdon admits suggesting that a telegram be sent the mythical slot machine company. Logsdon admits the machines could be recovered f r gamblers through the Ptorage company sub-ter-fuge. "The most singular feature of the whole matter 1 why Mr. L.ogs1on was so anxiou.s to see Mr. Bookwalter and Mr. Joss before he closed with Stahl. He had his attorneys. Mr. Fred Matson and Mr. William A. Keteham. both perfectly competent to advise him as to whether Stahl was trying to bribe him, but he did not go to th.-m witn this, although he admits he saw them dally. What was It he wished to see Bu .kwalter and Joss about? I shall tell you. It was when he came to the conclusion that there was no money behind Stahl; tha Stahl had no money to give. for the protection he was asking. Only his royal Satanic majesty himself knows what he would have done if he had come to the other conclusion. "Mr. Spaan said at one time, when I attempted to make a s:eech in this case, that it was 'Smith the politician speaking.' As to that I want to say that my old partntr, Hawkins, used to tell me I had no sense in politics. He said I talked too freely about things I didn't like. My political attitude is. a matter of conjecture. I believe. Book waiter says I am not a good Republican. Spaan says 1 am not a Kood

4392 Democrat, and I know my pastor, Mr. Stansfield. knows I am so far from being a Prohibitionist that he hardly believes I am a good citizen. But this I hold: Private citizens are tustifled, for motives of public good, in doing Just euch things as these men have done. They, it was, who took up the burden of the work. They srs men to be commended rather than criticised. There are all too few of such men. They come but seldom, but whenever they do come we hear cries of 'Pharisee,' 'Children of heaven,' and all that. COURTS HAVE SPOKEN. "Did they violate a statute of IndianaT On this the courts have spoken with no uncertain voloe. In the case of the United States against Moore, found in the nineteenth volume of the federal reports, the court held that It is not to the discredit of any citizen acting against vice to use methods under the law. The use of detectives to ferret out wrong in public servants Is upheld and approved. In the case of the United States against Matthews, in the thirtv-fifth volume of the federsl reports, it is" held that the employment of suck means as are found In this case cannot work harm to honest public servants. In the case of the United States against Blinker, In the thirty-second federal reports, similar decisions are found. The Lnlted States against Dorsey, found in the fortieth federal reports. Is another similar case. "I advance the proposition thst the sets of the defendant were not against the lsws of the State, that they wefe not against good morals, and that there Is nothing corrupt in them. I advance the proposition that it was legitimate for the defendant, Stahl, to use the means he did in finding out whether logsdon had accepted, was accepting or would accept money .'or the protection of gambling. "The Banks case is exactly analogous. Banks occupied exactly the same posit i n that Stahl, Noel and the others occupied. Mr. Taggart and others wanted to find out whether Wesley Bridges had a ballot in his possession. They had talformatVM that lie had a ballot the year before. They wanted to know whether he was guilty. The court accepted this defense as complete " "The court did not accept It as a complete defense." broke in Mr. Spaan. "only as a defense which might or might not bo taken cognizance of by the Jury, " "As a complete defense," continued Mr. Smith, "if it is demonstrated that the only object was to discover crime had been committed." "That is not a complete defense. That Is a matter for the Jury to deL-rmlne," again said Spaan. The hands of the clock had loafed around to the hour of 5. Mr. Smith asked the court to postpone further argument until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when he will resume. Poor Imitation of Folk. Richmond Item. The reform element in Indianapolis socured the services of a detective used by Attorney Folk, of St. Louts. But here they stopped following the methods used by that gentleman. Otherwise, they might have been more successful. The Weak Spot. NoMcsville Ledger. The long-drawn out Investigations at Indianapolis are beginning to pall on the people of the State, and. no doubt, of that city, too. We have no doubt that there were some men active in bringing about the investigations that were sincere, snd who were working for the public good, but ii appears now that some only wished to create sensations for publication in the papers or to get even with some one and we re not actuated by the pub'ic good. The managers of the News do not appear In a very good light as the evid indicates they were instrumental in bringing a detective to Indianapolis to fsten some crime on LogsdOn. not being able to make anything of the charge on trial. Detectives nre all right to detect crime already committed, but should not use Improper methods, nor commit crimes themselves. Will Investigate Report. The police are Investigating the reported opening of a poolroom st Ä West Pearl street by Fred Heler and Jehn Shea.
