w* thoroughly aroused, and aliould handle
him without mercy.— U* laughed io my
face at the suggestion, and drtted ms even
to gel $5,000 damages, for he felt perfectly
assured of it verdict in his farm - .
George tloyd was my associate counsel,
a sound lawyer, well read and pains taking,
flc opened tho argument, laying down the
law in plain, forcible language, and wasfol
lowed by defendant's counsel. When the
last of these closed it w as about d.iuk.nnif 1
lagged of the court the privilege of making
my sjieech at once. I detained the jury for
Itrtlewwr an hour, In the best speech of my
lifts, and made by candle -light. I was
warmed up as 1 had never been before.
Her father was in the c ourt room, his long
gray hair falling about his shoulders, and
his ruined daughter sitting, with bowed
head, by his side. From the beginning of
my speech to itscloseyou could have heard
a pin drop-in fact there was no other
shadow of sound but my own voice, save
now and then ttie broken sobs ol old nod
young in the audience. In less than five
minutes alter beginning 1 bad the crowd,
judge, jury and spectators completely In
tny hands, and fell myself utasUr of the oc
cation. I was only soiry 1 had not deman
ded $30,000 instead of SIO,OOO. I portray
ed tfae coM, sly, snakey steps of the scduc
or, the importunities, the final orerpower
ing mastery of hia strong mind and body.
I dwelt upon woman's trusting lore and
constancy ; drew the picture of the poor
girl as I had scan her but slew months be
fiMW, ind dwelt upon the contrast now. 1
depleted the heart anguish of the old father
tottering to the grave under the cruel blow
of the mart he had trusted as a son. I
burled anathemas against the. seducer—l
protested, in the name of our common
manhood, against the wrong inflicted upon
our mothers, wives amFßistera in the per
son of that poor girl, and demanded of the
jury whether •they could be bribed Into
oowardly silence by ihe villainous author of
all these woes. I closed with tide apt and.
forcible quotation from. Scott
Where shall the traitor rest.
He, the deceiver,
Who could win maiden's breast,
Ruin—and leave her!
In the lost battle,
Borpe down by the flying,
Where mingles war's rattle
Will the .groans,of the tying,

The effect was electrical. When the
iJudge could compose himscif and the
' rgowd sufficiently to Charge the jury to
retire and make up their verdict, the too.
