It was generally expected that there
would not be" an acquittal that there
cou!4 not be anT acquittal according to
the evidence. ' !Iowevert few expected
a verdict to be rendered so soon il The
news that the jury had reached a-verdict
spread quickly and : the i court
roqih shortly afterwards held quite a
large crowd. ' The jury's verdict, wab
quickly received! and - recorded, the
offlffiiteK being that the court had to
g the jury; to specify "the ; degree,
which is ?aside from ; the usual form,
and though this at 'the time seemed
trivial yei" counsel; for. the, defense has
since made it loom-up into importance:
Sentenced This Morning.
Court convened promptly at!4 10
o'clock this . morning, and the court-
room was crowded. The presence of
woman from the scene was marked
pleasantly so but the y crowd - v. was
larger than at any other day during
the, trial. Human nature is a peculiar
thing." People-wet t- to the court-room
to have their heart strings pulled. - It
was not savagery,' nor idle 'curiosity.
It was something;; between ' the two.
It-fascinates, and people of the tender-,
est kind ibt hearts, went to the serious
solemn' scene' this Tmorning.; Tliere
were men-in every walk of" life there,
from the minister to the laborer who
shoyels dirt pn "the streets. 'TThere
was'a slight smile, or a jest whispered
here and there,' but not of ribaldry
but of nervousness, "perhaps. .
Stephens walked steadily into, court
and, hls gaze was firm." .There, was
nothing : fugitive- about .--It. ' liis face
wasHi paleV but; maybe that,. was the
"prison pallor. ..His fatherr- who has
stood behind him with' all a father's
love, came in with him aftd sat beside
him; The wife was not there." It wd3
better so Stephens knew what was to
come, and he Jiad steeled Tiimself foj it
and was . able to.V meet- the ' sttuatioa
knowing the'fiied. end.' - There' is, al
wa'ys more nervousness- about uncei
tainty! Suspense marks: its cdurse in.
