that the hearing would last long. Tho

defendants' attorneys were equally as

From the witnesses for the defense
the sensations wiil come. “Prepar^

This was ihe air that pervaded the
court room all the morning. The cu

One sensation that is entirely tin

As soon as the re.S'Ult was announced

he had not voted because he did'not
believe the vote had been proi)erly or
