killed his wife because of infatuation for another woman, and put her remains away where he thought as this man thought, that it would never be discovered but murder will out, and he was discovered, and he was tried, and he said at said to the glory of old England, he was executed."

96. Voyant further says that a new trial should be granted, because of the following ground:

The Solicitor General, in his concluding argument, spoke to the jury as follows:

"But to crown it all, in this table which is now turned to the wall, you have Lemmie Quinn arriving, not on the minute, but to serve your purposes, from 11:30 to 12:22" (referring to a table which the defendant's counsel had exhibited to the jury giving as was claimed by counsel, in chronological order, the happening of events as to defendant on April 26) "but that, gentlemen, conflicts with the evidence of Freeman and the other young lady, who placed Quinn by their evidence, in the factory before this time". Whereupon the following occurred:

"Mr. Arnold, There isn't a word of evidence to that effect; those ladies were there at 11:35 and left at 11:45, Corinthia Hall, and Miss Freeman, they left there at 11:45, and it was after they had eaten lunch and gone to pay their fare before they ever saw Quinn, at the little cafe, the Busy Bee,He says that they saw Quinn over at the factory before 12, as-I understood-it"

"Mr. Dorsey: Yes sir, by his evidence"

"Mr. Arnold: That's absolutely incorrect, they never saw Quinn there then, and never swore they did."

Mr. Dorsey (resuming): "No, they didn't see him there, I doubt if anybody else saw him there either."

"Mr. Arnold, If a crowd of people here laugh every time we say anything, how are we to hear the Court? He has made a whole lot of little mis-statements, but I let those pass, but I am going to interrupt him on every substantial one he makes He says those ladies saw Quinn before 12, and I say he wasn't there, and they didn't say that he was there then."

"The Court: What is it you say, Mr. Dorsey?"
