Conclud ing his nrgumont In doronso of rat rick Calhoun at 10:45 o'clock this morning, A. A. Mooro surrendered tho floor to Frnncls J. Honoy. A brlof recess wns declared by tho court after which, at 11:16 o'clock, Honoy ad dressed tho Jury. ...ooro followed tho lino of rhetori cal 'nrgumont that yesterday hold spellbound tho largest audlonco that yot had packed tho courtroom. Hold ing to rldlculo tho fact that tho Unit ed Itnllroads or tho dofondnut had at tempted In any way to rotard Justice, ho boldly denounced tho prosecution and duplordd tho so-called prosecu tion of tho defendant. Ho assorted that tho Infamous practlco of Interviewing jurors by tho defendant nnd prosecution wns n dov tllsh Invontion of llllnm J. Burns nnd that tho United Itnllroads had a right, if tho "mlsorablo wretches" who. worked for Hums offored to soil his documents, to purchuso thoni. Ho scoffed at tho Idea of Cnlhouu being Implicated In tho dynamiting of "Ulg Jim" Qnllaghor's house In Oakland, and avorred that Gallagher's II fo was dearor to Calhoun In mo light of his testimony than It wns to any other man on earth with tho exception of Unllngher himself. Ho scorod tho prosecution ns hav ing sidetracked all Ibsiiob to got at Calhoun and roforrod to tho defend ant as tho poor man who was drag ged nt tho chariot wheels of a politi cal combination that has boon ruling nnd ruining Snn Frnnclsco." Mooro wound up by declaring that Calhoun's uamo nnd honor woro nt stake, and that these aro dearor to him thnn his life. His last words to tho Jury wore: "And now, goutlomon. I lonvo in your hands tho honor of Patrick Cal houn, feeling secure that whon you havo completed your deliberations Justico will havo been dono." Possessing in no measure tho olo- nuonco nnd rhotorlcnl ability of Mooro, Honey wasted no tlmo In get ting to tho points of his argument whon ho took tho floor to begin tho closing nrgumont for tho prosecu tion. After scoring Mooro for tho nl leged abuso ho has heapod upou the heads of tho supporters of thu prose cution, Honey said: "Mooro asked you to bollevo that bpreokels. Phelnn, Iiurns, Q Clara, ..onoy and tho members of tho Longuo of Jiibtlce aro a.t criminals, that they've all committed erlino.i. nnd ho says It's proven by tho rec ords. If tho records proco that, what will you say about what thoy nrovo about Patrick Cnlhoun? Isn't thoro onnueh In thoso roc- ords to sink Patrick Calhoun to tho bottommost pits of holl? "Tho evidence demonstrates that Patrick Calhoun Is guilty, that ovory nair or nis noaa is guilty. ' As Udmund Durko said In tho trial of Wnrron Hastings, that 'a criminal 1b trapped more often by tho things ho trios to cover up than by tho ovldence of tho crlmo ho leaves behind him.' "Thoy havo attacked mo throueh- out this trial, but tnero Isn't ono of you wno does not know at tho bot tom of your soul what kind of a man am. It doesn't niaico any differ- other you like me. I don't want any man on tho Jury to llko me. I havon't mado any plea to have any man on tho Jury to llko mo. I want every man on this Jury to vote from tho dictates of his consclonco, wheth er ho likes Francis J. Honey or ap proves of his methods. You may think that I havo boon wrong In con ducting myself tho way I havo dur ing this trial, but Is thoro ono of you who would havo taken as much as I havo takon from the other sldoY I didn't kick during tho last day nnd a half for their abusing mo, but I did object when thoy abused mo dur ing tho progress of the trial. I havo been fighting for a principle and havo been fighting for the sanc tity of tho court. I objected to tho vindication of mo during tho trial low any man to abuso mo as I havo boon abused during this trial. "I don't enro anything about what iarl Hogors, tho partnor of tho In famous Luther Drown, says to mo. It doesn't mnko any dlfforonco what ho says. It doosn't hurt mo, but It does destroy tho dignity of tho court There Is n principle nnd n question nt stnko as to whother our courts nro sutflciuntly strong any longer to con vict men with money nnd provont stealing, brlbory nnd nil of tho at tendant crimes that hnvo boon com mitted during this trial. "An appeal has boon mado to you Irishmen on the Jury, an appeal to you to violate your oaths; an nppoat to you not to bollovo tho supervisors because thoy aro luformors. You hnvo boon sworn to wolgh and con sider tho evidence of tho supervisors. Mr. Moore's appeal to you IrUhmou to violate your oaths Is nn Insult to tho Irish nh this Jury. "The Emerald Islo across tho ocean whoro tho Irish patriots havo boon fighting for freedom Is ruled by ab sout landlords as tho United itnll roads Is ruled by absent owners. 1'hoy talk about liiforinoru. When two men go out and rob n man at night nnd one of them kills him thoro Is no witness to the murder exoopt tho tnurdoror's accomplice. Ho is finnlly urrestcd mid his conscience hurts him onnuyh so that ho cou fvises, They would havo you bo llovo that his testimony cannot bo used to convict tho murdorur hoqauiio. ho is nu Informer, They would huva you go homo nnd lie down In your bods at night nnd be murdered, with out raising your volcos. You'd hnvo to hnvo soino one on the Job to uy who murdered you boforo tho mur doror could bo convicted nnd that somo ono would hnvo to bo somo ouo who was not an Informer. "Whon I started In this trial I saw that Patrick Calhoun would mako ono of sovornl defonsoa, and I thoro foro Introduced evldenco which balked every dofenso ho Intended to mako, Fr. Mooro said yesterday, In vory doclslvo tonus, that Calhoun was uqt held up. You gontlomon, now cannot go Into tho jury room' nnd consider for a moment tha tho wns 'hold up when his own chlof counsel says that ho wasn't. It Is tho same as it It camo from his own lips. Of courso. ho wasn't hold up. Wo ald that all along." uonoy tnon told of Calhoun's fall uro to socure his overhead trolley permit. Ho said that Calhoun, who was so anxious to rostoro transporta tion for the people of San Francisco that ho put 6000 Imported Orooks to work, could havo went to tho com mittee of fifty and sccurod a tempor ary permit to operate his cars until ho was ablo permanently to restore tho cable uads. Tho Geary street line, ho aUl, was put In oporatlon shortly after tho earthquake, and tho united uaiiroads could hare operat ed cars by meroly spreading open their cablo slots. What they wanted, he claimed, waB a pormunont over head trolley franchise, for which a temporary permit bad been secured by Eugene E, Schmltz by Thornwell Mullally. Continuing ho said: "This thing of attacking the pros ecution isn't nqw at all. When a lawyer Is shy on facts In law ho al ways attacks the other fellow. "Tho dofenso objects to the sloutbs who havo boon omnloved to cather evidence of crlmo In tho prosecut'oa of the graft casea. "Its all right," ho wont on sarcas tically, "to Boud claims department sleuths from the United Itnllroads to got injurod people to swear away their llvos whllo they are lying on tho streets, or sottlo up for a postago 'tamp, but ono must not uso men to forret out crlmo! It's all right that they should bo allowed to stock a Jury, but tho prosecution mustn't make any effort to keop bad men out of the Jury box!
