1 be the .testimony upon that question.

Jin these tally sheets which Hayes
I brought up here when they are pro

jthat they have been altered, that they

Jthat the testimony win show In fact
I know it will show that, for in

from Mr. James FeUer, tHe Judge there,
that that duplicate tally sheet was lri

'up at all when; he brought It up here;
5 but when he returned It, the next day,
ion the Monday, after, the tally sheet
was all sealed up In good shape, and im
good order, I think those things .will
, appear. And we will show to you by
! these Judges that Hayes would not give
this man a receipt for. these tally sheet.i
I at all: that they demanded! a, receipt
1 for them, and refused to let them go,
: but by over persuasions, and by telling
them that trouble existed here, f they
tparted with these sheets; afltd that they

STATEMENT FbR DEFENSE.
: Hon. A. S. Bennetts one of Mr. Rich
ardson's counsel saidi
"May it please Tour Honor, apd Gentle
men of the, Jury: f , 1
"The defendant .In a criminal case
always labors at a great disadvantage
In attempting to state to a Jury what
the testimony may be In defense, be
cause it Is seldom that the defendant
is In a position to know just exactly
what the testimony on the part of the
state wm toe untu.lt is produced in
court, and, theref ore the defendant is
unable to state how fto reach that tes
timony. In this casej however, gentle
men. I think that thej evidence will dis
close a good many things that have not
been presented to you upon the part
ot the state. In the flrst place I think
the evidence will disclose that there is
and ha been for some time a very bit
ter feeling among certain members of
the bar in this county, -and the bar has
been divided up, 'as Jit were,, into fac
tions, and a .great ; many people have
arrayed themselves behind one faction
and a great many behind the other, and
there Is a very greatjamount of bitter
ness of feeling among the different at-'
torneys. : Now, the election came on,
and among the candidates at that elec
tion was the defendant, P. H. D'Arcy, a
man who had lived here In your . county
from childhood,.'and upon whose -reputation
there has never been a blemish
in all the years he hks Mved here. He
was a candidate for the high office of
Judge of this district,; and when the re
turns commenced to come In. It became
apparent that the Judgeship contest
was going to be a close one, and the
friends and partisan, some of whom
werp .members of the bar,' desired, of
course, to have their candidates elected
to the position of judge, and some of
the members of the bar desired to have
Mr. D'Arcy elected fvere strong parti
sans of his and when it became evi
dent that the vote !was going to be
close, there ?was a great deal of inter
est taken In the" matter, and people,
members of the baif, and everybody,
were scurrying back and forth, here
and there, and everywhere, and there
was a great deal of 'talk and agreat
deal of suspicion, andj at first it seemed
as though Mr. D'Arcyihad the matter all
his own way. and thought he was Kolntr
-to be elected, ut as the returns com
menced to be counted, whe'rt the count
was Being had, an mistakes were
found here r and -there, . and all these
mistakes seemed tof'be against Mr.
D'Arcy, all the time against". , Mr.
D'Arcy.untll he and his friends began to
think that there was jsomething wrong,
and that they were j in some way be
ing counted out; and they were very
active, they were looking out and try
ing to protect, as be$t they could, Mr.
DArcy's interest &OW then, when it
came to unf the! votes there were
found jto be a vast number o"f
mistakes; the tally! heets-rthe totals
didn't always corr-spond with the votea
as they were carried put, in some pre
cincts there would be mistakes of as
high as 100 votes, j unquestioned mis
takes that there was no sort of ques
tion about, and there was : nobody
could question but the officers had
made a mistake, so their tallies didn't
correspond with the totals of those
precincts. Now, there was very many
of these mistakes, not on tBe judgeship
altogether, not perhaps at all upon
that; but upon other offices, some of
which were not at all close, and where
there was no sort of question as to who
was elected: there) was a very great
number of mistakes!- Now, among
other precincts, when it came to the
final show-down, and the final count
whether honestly or dishonestly I shall
not undertake to say to you,-it was
found that there were three precincts
in which the tallies seem to show for
Mr. p'Arcy a larger number of xotes
than "the totals of those tallies showed.
Mr. lyArcy was naturally very - much
worked up about It, and fee felt that
he ought not to be cheated .out of the
vote. If It belonged to him: then, be
sides, there were votes claimed for oth
ers in other counties in the judicial
district f nd In other precincts, about
which there was no suspicion of any
thing being fraudulent and the vote be
ing so close Mr. D'Arcy believed, that,
in order to protect his interests, it was
necessary that he should file a contest;
and, gentlemen, he did so, and I think
the very day after this contest was
fried Mr. IrrArcy-eomewheres about
the 20th. I think Mr. D'Arcy and these
other defendants were arrested on this
charge, for the first time made against
them. f And I think the evidence wwi
disclose ' now that at dlfferesk times
parties came to them and tried to com
pel them, and tried to hold this over
their heads for the purpose of compet
ing" Mr. D'Arcy to drop this contest,
saying to Mm. if you will drop this Con
test we will drop this criminal prose
cution, but if you do not we will push
it to the bitter end; and trying to foree
hrm to drop the contest, and they
came not only fromTthls county, but
from other counties) by holding this
thing over his head. Now, gentlemeiuaa
X have said before, sre do not know ex
actly what the testimony on the part
of the state wtU disclose, but if we are
correctly Informed, the whole case of
the state, so far as It affects any sub
stantia! taatter.' will come from the
mouths of I two witnesses, one of those,
Mr. Ehlenj who was county clerk here,

Ibese that the use of mechanical con
trivances has become m,ore general,
while mules, in greatest - demand in
hilly regions remain In demand In
these. - A final reason for the greater
average value pf mules compared, with
horses. Is to-be found in the question
of forage. A horse! Is very much mom
expensive to. maintain than a mule,
snd, moreover, horses are mo e. numer
ous,' relatively. 'In those ports of the
