Lincoln is still busy with Harrison case. He and Logan argue 
technical points of evidence, and their contentions are sustained by 
court. Peter Cartwright, famous circuit-riding preacher and 
grandfather of defendant, gives spectacular testimony for defense.

argument, "examining the evidence with great skill and clearness, 
discussing the law and replying to the positions assumed by the 
prosecution with a subtle and resistless logic, and frequent

guilty.

stands in the way of an early and complete success of Republicanism;
