Leonard, James Scanlon, Charlie Williams, Harry S. Hallan and C. F. Shaw and within five minutes after ward, Col. J. C. L. Harris, one of the defendants' attorneys, had launched out in his argument. The prisoners submitted no evidence and the gov ernment had fifty-two witnesses In all. from this state, Virginia and other points. The court will hold an afternoon session and the jury may render a verdict before adjourn ment this evening. Had the men: been able to 'prove - '-'' that they were elsewhere other than at Dunn on the night of the post- office robbery, the government would not have a very strong case; but as ' matters now stand, the prosecution! has proved conclusively that all five; of too men were at Dunn and a ver- diet of guilty would not come as a! surprise.
