Manly at once began his "guinea: for
the prisoner. After speaking of the im-
portance of the case be allotted to the rules
of law necessary {or them to understood,
and applied his explanation of the M-
deuce. The indictment, he said, contains
two counts, one charging willful murder
of his brother in llmrliester, and the other
that he hired, procured or induced some
party in the state a! New Hampshire to go
into Maine and commit the crime.
The thlcy.’ Twines-y MM
Cwnsrl claimed that the evidence filled
to show conclusively that Hiram Suwtelle
was in Rochester at the time the murder
was committed: that his identity had not
been lull; established. He called atten-
tion to the testimony ofiered as tothe time
the pistol shots were heard on the Rocha-
ter road and the time at which Isaac’s
team was seen in that vicinity, Without
the testimony of the Willeys. the state
failed to show even a suspicion o! a crime
in New Hampshire, and that teatimimy
has been contradicted by it number of re-
llnblo witnesses. The state does not Show
that. Isaac Sins-tells was on the road at. any
time when they lling» them shots were
fired. .
China the Crime \Wun Committed to Hal-o.
Counsel claim there. was no evidence to
show that Hiram Snwtclle was killed be-
hind the Merrill burn or that he was shot
by Isaac while in the buggy. His theory
was that the man was killed in the state of
Maine near the grow where the body was
lonnd buried, and that the blood stains
found upon lsaac'n coat and rest came
from his sore wrist. Counsel touched very
lightly upon the second count of the in
«Burnout. denying that the fact had been
established that. Isaac had any accomplice
in the crime.
Argument {or the State.
At 2 o'clock Attorney General Barnard
began the argument for the state. The
delenne. he said. deny that Hiram ever
left Baotou. that he ever arrived in
Rochester. and that he was ever killed.

The attorney general claimed that the
state's testimony completed a perfect
chain of evidence against. the primni‘r.
The Qunllon o! Juli-diction.
As to when Hiram was killed. no pistol
shots were heard near the grave. We: not
