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.
Court sits in evening, as Logan and Cullom sum up for Harrison.
