Carnochan, the family phy sician, saw the Governor for a few minutes early in the day, but did not think another visit necessary until early tomorrow.

"The defendants are not on trial for causing the various explosions and the consequent loss of life and property throughput the United States shown by the evidence; they aro on trial for the offenses charged in the indictment Evidence of these explosions, together with the facts and circumstances sur rounding them, were permitted to go in evidence belore you,- because they tend, to show the community of pur pose, tho concert of mind and action which is an essential ingredient of the offenses charged, and they should be considered by you upon that issue alone. "The evidence in this case shows that in August, 1905, there was a contro versy between the International Asso ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron workers and the American Bridge Com pany over tho open and closed-shop question; that in said month of August, 190", the International declared a gen eral strike against the American Bridge Company, and that this strike has never been settled. .

You may find any defendant guilty or not guilty, or you may find one or more of them guilty and the others not guilty. Be fore you can find any of the defendants guilty you must be satisfied of his guilt In manner and form as charged in some one of the indictments upon which they are on trial, beyond a reasonable doubt," Of McMantgal and Edward Clark, Cincinnati, both of whom pleaded guilty and testified for the Govern ment, the court said their testimony "should be received with caution and scrutinized with care," and added: - "The witness, William J. Burns, while on the witness-stand, detailed a conversation that he had with the de fendant Hockin, in which he made statements to Hockin about the de fendant Tveitmoe having been in prison and having a prison record. Such state ments made by Burns are not to be con sidered by you in any way in deter mining the guilt or Innocence of the defendant Tveitmoe as to the charges in this indictment-" . - Jury Alone to Decide. Judge Anderson concluded: "Carefully weigh all the evidence In the case and from it under the rules of law which I have given you, de terminlne the guilt or innocence of the defendants. With you and not with the court, rests the responsibility of finding and determining the facts. The views of the" court on questions of fact are not' controlling upon you. You have nothing to do with the case except to determine the single question of the 1 1 tnr.A.AnA nf the defendants.
