After henrlng argument Justico
StnforJ mudo this, teatatlvo an
nouncement to the district atterney:
Court BtnteH Dltllculty.
"Tho lcttors woro destroyed. Can
you show that tho lettor, If not de
stroyed, would have provon a con
spiracy? If it comes to that ques
tion, you say you cannot. Theso
letters need explanation to show
criminality. When letters aro of a
criminal naturo they would show a
motive. I think you must find some
other Bourco evidence that thero was
a conspiracy between Hermann and
the parties mentioned in tho letters,
or to whom they were written. I
cannot boo how tho Jury Is to infer
that the letters wore criminal, no
such lottors being shown, from tho
fact that an alleged conspiracy exist
ed, tind that somo letters woro writ
ten to men accused of this crime.
Would you have tho Jury Infer that
somo Incriminating letters wero in
the destroyed books, other letters
apparently innocent oolng shown
here? I think not. However, I will
not decldo tho point."
