684 X. AMERICAN STATE TRIALS.

was guilty and didn’t want to talk to her s0 he brought For-
rest Adair into the case. If I had done such a thing in my
own office I’d have given her money. Mr. Candler admits
enough in his own testimony to warrant him in paying her
and he ought to pay for it,

I hope you have enongh manhood, gentlemen of the jury,
to stand up for a poor woman against this paid prosecuting
attorney. Arnold has been having hie own way 80 long up
in this section that he’s got bigheaded and I hope you will
stop him by turning her loose.

‘Who brought the whole thing into court? Candler admits
it, Mrs. Hirseh is the sufferer no matter what the result
may be. Her character is blasted and she has lost all her
friends—the best people in Atlanta. I can picture her say-
ing that last good-by to her dear husband as a husband at
the depot on that Sunday. Both of them are filled with pity
at the sight of a soldier husband bidding farewell to his
weeping wife and refer to their own perfect content and
happiness, Yet Arnold says she is a mean woman—he has
a heart of stone.

Candler, the prosecutor, is done as soon as the trap is laid
and she falls in—then they close the books. They would have
no case whatever if you wipe out Brother George and Forrest
Adair. They made the case by offering her money. Whyt
Because Candler was caught in the act. But why should
they ruin this poor womant To save the reputation and
good name of Asa Candler, Sr., she had to be gotten out of
town, Something had happened in Mr. Candler’s private
office and something had to be done to save the great Mr.
Candler, This is one case where the great detective, Adair,
fell down. He told the woman he was her friend and says
she cried like a child. Don’t make the mistake again, Mr.
Adair, of trying to put a poor woman in the chain gang.
Millions don’t count, life is only short, and we will follow
the Good Book. Change your ways or you are lost, brother.

We will try this case not only by the iaw of Georgia, but
by the divine law in the Bible, I know the Book from cover
