arrAlgnment of the aged defendant
begun yeHterday when ho talked two
ond one-half hourH. Ho nHsalloil Mr.
tttokee as a "dollar1 marked oetopuH
with long arms - that reached Into
the: dives-of c.'hleago and over the
nountry to obtain affidavit to dirty
up Mrs. Stokes."
The prosecutor, speaking In a
voice ' that reverberated far down
the county-building corridors, nmill
ed' the testimony of two sleeping cnr
conductors who testified that Mrs.
Htokes' had travelled with young men
twice - during 1922. : ,
?"Thftt man Iturke sworn that Mrs.
Htokes occupied a berth With her
cousin, JInt Illlllg, and he did not
see her net In or out of the berth,"
said Hmlth.
'JHo did not know who was thoro.
He heard voices, he said, but he did
not know whose tliey weio. Tet he
swore- In an affidavit it was Mrs.
Btnkts ' and Hal llillig. And Mr.
. Htokes took that affidavit, but he
didn't use It In his divorce suit. He
knew It was not true, nnd that It
would not stand up in court.
""'And that' mnn Hanson, I con
tend, came Into this court and vol
untarily committed perjury. He came
into this court and recognized that
he rocognlied Mrs. stokes from a

Peggj Hopkins Joyce. ,1 - ',i
"He: Hold 'see Joyce and' find out
what; he knows, and if he wants any
Information nhotit his wife, I can get
It for him,' " said Smith.
"Is that his mania? is thai the
work of his porvertcd mind?" roar
ed Smith to the Jury. "What made
him want to break up another man's
family?"'
'.Smith turned his attention to Leo,
negro defendant, after he had been
talklnif more than four hours.
"I maintain Lee wns in this con
spiracy toi get affidavits right or
wrong." ;' said Smith. "Yet he sayB
he never was there when affidavits
were taken. " He was there' when
the "money was being passed out."
'."J, never saw BUch a game of
shift in my life," said Smith In con
cluding', "if they were innocent, why
did' every man 'connected with the
affair try to shift responsibility to
someone else?"

.,'That hiis been the Idea of the
iate throughout In this prosecution,
or persecution of Mr. Mollys."
"You may havo a lot of evidence
hore, ,fhut. will make you want to
say fltokes 'was an old fool.'" suld
Itathbun, 'but you have not a bit
of,eyldene that will show you he
was guilty of conspiracy."
i ."There Is no question of woman
hood or babies here." said Rnthbun.
"It is. a .question of whether StokeH
and Lee did what they woro charged
with doing In the Indictments.
. "There, never has been a enso In
this county where the state went so
far. In coercion and oppression in
an effort to force out testimony."
"If- It had not been for the acts
of Mrs. Stokes and her agents In this
dise' the world never would have
known anything Stokes unearthed
in his Investigation." said Hmhbun.
".Mr. Stokes never told nnybody any
thing except his own agents. lie
never published It. He never de
famed her. If she had not started
tills rase, tills old man would have
hi. -affidavits as play-things he hud
obtained n, his wanderings through
tils tiyenues of old times in Chicago,
nildjhls lawyers would have told him
thdy- Wtu'e. no good." , . '
'Stokes may have thought" he wns
the wentest detective in the world,
that he 1ml the Marshall ld mur
der solved or a lot of other things
which Inay make you think he was
a durned old fool, but nre you
going to stud him to the peniten
tiary for (t?" .
. Mr. Htukes wo's termed an old mnn
who hud lien taken advantage of
by. a "lot of bloodsuckers seeking
his money," while ho put in years
lnvestinating his wife.
i,"A, fopllth ns ho was. r say to
you gentlemen, he never did a ciiml
nal act." said Itnthbun. "If he had
been bent on defaming his wife,
would he with all his money have
put in the weeks and months Inves
tigating? "All he did was to get a lot of
Information, some of which makes n
man think."

not being- satisfied with the vindica
