It was understood unofficially

There was no limit on the
closing argument of the district .
attorney, and it appeared pos
sible the case might run so near
dinner time the Jury will eat
before deliberations begin.
Gillenwaters, In his early argu
ment, charged that the defense
had withheld Its plans until It
heard the state's case and then
reconstructed Its case to meet
the state's. As the prosecutor
went into detail ot the state's
theory ot how Horan was shot,
ho said- that he doubted It Man
ning himself knows what started
the trouble. Gillenwaters . de
clared Horan was shot from thi
end of Manning's desk. Th
prosecntor, sitting In the oaken
chair in front of the desk, de
scribed the Imaginary gunfire,
slumped to the floor with, ,
thud, and lying prone on hit
stomach tor a moment continued
his fire of argument at the Jury.
Roberts, In his morning argu
ment, asserted -that the state not
only tailed to make its case, bat
the defense proved Manning's
Innocence, something the law
does not require It to do.
Roberts opened his arguments
with the suggestion the Jury con
sider its responsibility, put aside
feeling and emotion and weigh
the evidence as it existed.
"The state desires a convic

once a district attorney myself,"
he said.
He charged that the assis
