CLEMENT OPENS ARGUMENT With the close or the evidence, i H. Clement Esl-' took the floor for an argument of 60 minutes. Consider ing .the handicap -under v which he spoke, It v was a splendid speech. The difficulty of proving the State's con tention lay in the., lack of ' actual evidence to support the bill of Indict ment . , The . Usstimony-. of , Deputy Kenerly was voncluKtve as a oeeiava- tlon "- from . the-, prisoner 'roff-hand. Gentle had said he helped swing the men up, but did not tell of any jaii breaklng'nor of any conspiracy, to break the JaiL t The Indictment tna eoroorated these' things-ln itv Never theless Mr. Clement had' so twisted and driven to the wall hit .witness that his contradictions and tack of memory were skillfully made to ap pear against him. He had, Gentle In tne! air an tne evening. .. - ' - Prltchard Carlton, Esq.,'. 'followed Mr. Clement . Hit speech would have brought laughter and applause out side the court His digs at Mr. Clem ent were exceedingly amusing. Mr. Carlton then went into an argument that, ' because Gentle had . been seen here In the court , house and in the crowd, did not necessarily argue that he was engaged in the- work ot the mob. - "Mr. Kenerlv." he said. "de- claret that Gentle jiajd he was In the mob.- Why there were 4,000 In ,the mob, and , some ot , the best people In the town and county were there.. I don't know whether Brother Clement was there or not but Solicitor' Ham mer, Senator Overman, Sheriff Julian, Mayor Boyden, . Judge Long, and Mr. Best were in.it. Mr. Boat says. he was under the tree and that when Jack 'Dillingham fell he touched him. Why, it these men were In" the mob, don't you. indlet them and not . Jerk un some Dancer here and try htm 7" Solicitor Hammer here arose and ob jected to this-line or argument when Congressman Klutts" came out, from the smoking room and told him that he had a right to object out not to make a speech while Mr. canton had the floor. The solicitor a&ld that Mr. Carlton waa reflecting upon the offi cers and "his speech It unworthy of him because he It a very honorable man and doesn't mean- to say .what he It saying." 2 Judge Ferguson, al lowed him to continue without objec tion. - .. ' ... .' fy-l-T '': , -. - V But Mr. Hammer get even with Mr. Carlton before hit speecn was nnisn ed. He Immediately issued ' a sub poena for the young lawyer; making him anoear before-the grand Jury and tell of those 'prominent- citizens who were In the mob" and Carlton himself will have to tell whaf he knowi.. Sen ator Overman will be tent before the grand. Jury. "'i -. - ; .v Mr. Klutts closed the argument for the, defense In a speech of 45 mfn utet. He maintained that' the atory that Gentle helped swing the negroes up told nothing that could possibly bear upon the question of guilt or in nocence Of the ciftrge against uentie. There It not a RUntllla- of evidence that he waa at or near the Jail. Mr. Kenerly, whomj everybody will be- iievtf says ne aid not tee nim ana he : waa ; there, Pat Stoop saya he was there and bullets flew over his head, that he aaw the crowd come in and George Gentle was not In . the erowd. Tom Bost said he was at the foot of the Jail steps, saw the' men. go upstairs and corns down with the men,' recognising even the prisoners, but nit George Gentle there. These are the Bute's witnesses' and they ut terly fall to Mil one word that tends to fasten guilt upon my client of. the harge-sgalnst him, Dave Athcy and Pat Lucas were with him And say he was not there Everybody but Gen- tie's maudlin, drunken vaporing says he was not there, uentie, sooer, told State's witnesses that he waa not In the Ivnchlng party.
