The Eloquent Advocate Defends the Righ- of His Clients to Sell to Whomever They Please Much Interest In the Proceedings. New York, June 29.—The summing up of counsel in the case of officials of the American Tobacco company indicted for alleged conspiracy, etc., drew the largest crowd of spectators to part four of general sessions today that has vis- ited Judge Fitzgerald’s courtroom since the trial began. Persons sought admittance almost as soon as the at- tendants opened the doors, and by 10:3t o’clock most of the seats were taken, though only the fortunate ones possess- ing credentials of some sort were ad- mitted. District Attorney Olcott, on reaching his office, gave orders that he ' T HE ”E v EN 1 N G _._G;A z. El? ‘CHUATE’ASDDMIN‘G UP.’ mustinot be disturbed by any-one, and, busied himself immediately with the preparation of his address. Assistant District Attorney Carpenter was the first of the attorneys to reach the court- room, being soon joined by his col- league, Mr. Hardwicke, with whom he has divided much of the work in con- nection with the case not done by Mr. Olcott. When Joseph H. Choate, leading counsel for the defense, arrived, just before 11, the courtroom was packed to the doors, spectators filling the aisles in all directions, every-available seat having been taken. Messrs. Fuller and Rollins,’ also of the defense, came next, being joined soon afterward by their clients, James B. Duke and Josiah Browne, who have exhibited great in- terest in the closing proceedings of this rather unusual trial. Judge Fitzgerald disposed of routine business by 11:15, after which Clerk Hall called the roll of jurors, and the officers closed the doors. Mr. Choate then began his ad- dress, referring at first to references made to himself by District Attorney Olcott in his opening speech as unjust and without the slightest foundation. Two Questions. Mr. Choate told the jury that they would have to consider two main ques- tions: Whether the owner and manu— facturer of property for sale has the right to sell it to the community by any manner and whatever terms he pleases and whether the laws of trade justify him in giving special facility, in order to better market his goods, to those who will agree to give him their exclusive trade. ' Commenting on the general aspect of the case, Mr. Choate argued that ab- solutely no evidence had been given on the important question as to what had been the usages of the tobacco trade in this country for the last 100 years. “The district attorney,” said Mr. Choate, “is a young man who has a wide discretion. I came into the world years before his existence was anticipated, and I would advise him that if in the future he would convict a man he thinks guilty he should offer all the evidence he has against him. He can’t convict an innocent man by only stating half the case; “I have studied jury trials in this city for the last 50 years," proceeded Mr. Choate, “and I never saw a. jury yet that was disposed to find a convic- tion upon an indictment instigated and procured solely in furtherance of a. civil suit between the party charged in the indictment and the party procuring the indictment.” After quoting a little law Mr. Choate went on to glance at the charge. “What is it?” he asked. “These men are charged with conspiring to“ do an act injurious to trade. Did you ever hear of such a case? It is the first time I have heard of directors in the per- formance of their duties to sharehold- ers being called on to answer the crim- inal charge that they were conspira-' tors. You don’t combine to do an act injurious to the trade unless you con— duct your business in such a way as to take away the legal rights of other people. “I stand here for absolute freedom of trade,” shouted Mr. Choate. “I htand here for unlimited competition by all honest means, and I would like to know. in what way these men have acted dis- honorably. The Essential of Intent. “But, gentlemen, you have also to find that these defendants had criminal intent when they planned their busi- ness. That is an essential element in proving them guilty.” Here Mr. Choate broke away from his serious vein. He cast a glance at the clock. “Gentlemen of the jury,” he said, “I would-not have you look at the clock. I want you to look at me, or the wick- ed Duke, or the bad Browne, and if you should get tired of looking at them cast a glance at the youthful district attor- ney. A thing of beauty is a. joy forever. It is a great pleasure always to look at him.” Mr. Choate then traced the transactions and doings of the defend- ants from the time they entered the to- bacco trade. “My learned friend could not help coming out,” said Mr. Choate, “with some of the stock phrases of the popu- lace, such as ‘dangerously wealthy.’ I think he used that phrase 33 times. It may be that a legislature will present- ly say that no corporation shall be more than so rich., By and by a legis- lature may say that no individual shall acquire more than so much property, but until that happens you can be as rich as you can get.” Mr. Choate said that the American Tobacco company had a. perfect right to make cigarettes and refuse to sell them. They could sell them to whom and in what quantities they liked. They could even refuse to make contracts, and they could make contracts with any one who would give them their ex- clusive trade. “Good heavens,” exclaimed Mr. Choate, “can’t private owners of mer- chandise make such agreements as they like, with purchasers? The one phrase we heard more than another from the classic lips of the district attorney was that ‘it is impossible to carry on the cigarette trade with profit without hav- ing the ”American company’s goods.’ “What does that mean? It means that they are the'orily kind of ciga- rettes’ worth dealing in because the world wants to smoke them.” c. ,wuu confluence. That is the,Way Norwalk Speaks,.ahd That is the Way Norwalk Peo- ~ple Act. At first there was doubt. That was but natural, for people had been disap- pointed many times. But first a man in Norwalk spoke, then a woman in South Norwalk, and soon from all over both places arose the chorus of praises for C. C. 0., California Catarrh Cure. And now people buy and use it in per- I feet confidence that it will do What it train for Wilkesbarre, where the trial claims; that it will Cure every form, l was to have taken place. The prospect- every trace of catarrh. Read What ive trial preyed upon his mind. During Mrs. I. F.

My sister has also used the medicine with most satisfac- tory results and joins me in saying that it is a fine medicine.” Catarrh in its fully developed forms isa hideous disease, involving decay, filth and actual rottenness, with most offensive odors in the very seat of the organs of taste and smell; firmly fixed there, it begins to attack the membrane lining of the passages leading to the lungs or the stomach; resulting either in consumption, or what is often called dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and various internal passages. California Catarrh Cure will cure all forms of ca- tarrh, and will check even incipient consumption. All dealers, 50 cents, three times as much, $1. To avoid hay fever, begin to use C. C. C. now; used properly, it will entire- ly prevent the malady in its season. A gold purse with a little blue en- amel watch set in the center is an extravagance that any woman would condone. IF EVERY MOTHER KNEW, HER LliTLE ONE WOULD BE SAVED.
