When all is over, one man is found dead, another with a wound in his breast.

But who struck the first blow?
None can tell.

We are absolutely without evidence upon this point.
In regard to the Polak, all that can be said is this, that it was a most unfortunate occurrence.

The attempt to connect the prisoner with this man's death has utterly failed.

In regard to the man Rosenblatt, dismissing his absurdly tragic story, what evidence has been brought before this court that there was any deliberate attempt at murder?
A blow was struck, but by whom?
No one knows.
What was the motive?
Was it in self-defence warding off some murderous attack?
No one can say.
