A Vladivostok dispatch reports that a steamer ar rived thero from Shanghai, bringing tho news that tho Jnpaneso armored cruiser Adsuina struck a ,1111110 nnd sunk. gument for tho government this morn ing, in tho prosecution of tho land fraud cases in nn exceptionally sar castic arralngtnqnt of nil the defend ants individually, nnd a strong sum ming of tho case. Ho repllod in de tain to Counsel O 'Day's nrguments, and tho jury wns charged at 2 o'clok this afternoon. Yesterday Afternoon. If thero has been ono dramatic mo- met in the wholo courso of tho trial, it was yesterday when, in his peroration, J Judgo O'Day read tho eighth chapter. of John, as supporting his chargo that tho prosecution had exceeded tho de mands of justico in dragging forth be foro the world tho privato life of S. A. D. Putor and Emma L. Wntson. His ar gument was long nnd apparently of lit tle offoat, but tho closo was eloquent nnd telling, and led tho jury from tho room mora thoughtful thnn might havo boon desired by tho government. It will tako thcin another dny to finish tho noted trial. Francis J. Hcnoy will occupy tho forenoon with his argu ment, and possibly will continue in tho nftcrnoon. Following this will como tho chargo to tho jury by Judgo Bol linger, after which tho enso will bo left in tho hands of tho 12 chosen men. It i s thought thnt a verdict will not bo long iu coming, nftcr onco tho enso is plnccd in tho jury's hands. Yesterday morning tho argument wns oponed by Lnwrcnco F. Putor, tho brother of tho defendant Putcr, who spoko earnestly for over an hour for tho dofonse. Mr. Putcr went back into tho ages with his discussion, nnd told of tho evolution of tho jury system, nnd of what it meant. Ho told with what em barrassment ho approached tho discus sion of tho question under tho circum stances. Ho rotated that in the theory of tho law tho prosecution was supposed to represent tho rights of tho defond- tints ns well as tho government was to strivo to seo thnt justico was done, not simply that couviction had. It had, howovcr, come, so ho said, thnt tho am bition of men perverted their aim, until it wns almost impossible for prosecuting nttorneys to carry out his magnani mous theory. Tho ambition to succeed leads them novcr to eoo other than gulll in tho case of thssc arraigned. Ninety nine porccnt of tho homesteads on tho const had been taken up as had thoso in tho cases undor discussion, contend ed tho attornoy, nnd in it thoro was no wrong'. A pilo of logs nnd a thatch of shingles, n few beans stuck hero and 11 slip of n troo thoro was all that went to mako up tho avcragu homestead, so why should tneso dofendnnts bo pun- In his closing, tho speaker dwolt up on what ho asserted to haVo been tho unnecessary unearthing of tho Putcr scandal, to tho slinmo nnd disgrnco of tho family and chlldron, who wcro in nocent. "John Hall," continued Judgo O'Day, "looking out through his beau tiful eyes, tells you that tho govern ment is tho trustee of tho public lands. Thero nro no public lands. Thoy nro gone. What have wo to offer tho home steader from tho East other than a bar ren stretch of rocks on tho tops of our mountain rangosf Thoro aro no public lands slnco tho great railroads have se cured tho passago of tho lieu selections of 1801. They nro gone." Against J. A. Heldccke, tho witness who confessed his pnrt in tho conspira cy, Judgo O'Dny wns most bitter. "And Heidecke," ho said, "if that man had lived ia Great Britaiu, when tnoy sent convicts to Australia no woutu I . 1 I 1 11 J! l. ! novcr uuvu uecu hciii iultl, lur uu ia au corrupt that he would havo impregnated the grOttud, nnd thoy would hnvo been raising liars thero yot. If I was to sleep In tho samo hotel with that man, nnd ho was on the top floor, and I was iu the basemont, I would bo nfrald that I would contract moral leprosy through tho night." "Thero Is ono thing," said tho judgo in closing, "thnt I do riot wish to speak about; ono thing above nil others that I am sorry for, I regret having been brought into this case, for it is so un necessary. Thero. is ono thing that is treated with leniency in press nnd pub lic nnd private llfo, and not dragged forth to tho slinme of innocent nnd help less families and children, but which in this case hns been exploited to tho prejudico of tho defendants, and for that purposo alone." Tho spenker then picked up a Bible from tho tnblo and read tho story of tho Pharisees nnd the woman who had sinned. "Let," ho said, "tho ono among us who has not sinned enst tho first stone." It is expected that n verdict will havo been rendered by this evening, and tho jury discharged.
