citing trial, after a CONTIGUOUS session of two
weeks, including three evening sessions.
/ On Saturday morning, Mr.. Aronld concluded

IN writing that had been prepared by the sounsel
on both sides, and az half past four O'Clock the
Jory retired TO their room, and the Court adjourn

The Court, throughout the whole day. was
crowded TO its utmost capacity. A verv large
portion OF the audiance ladies' and their brill
liant and tasteful dresses relieved the otherwise
somber character OF the scene.
AT o clock the Court room began TO be filed
mp, and in few minutes was perfect Jam
Nothing was done till half past ten and the Court
had just been formally opened and adjourned till
Monday morning. when messenger arrived with
the intelligence that the jury had agreed For a
moment the widest excitement ensued The vast
audience who had just dispersed rus he'd back pell-
mel 10 their places, mot to their seats. there was
no room o sit the sheriff and his officers ran
hither and thther, commanding order. beseeching
to make less noise, and here and there ad>
minisering a more feeling admonilion upon the
pate of individuals more obstreporous than the
rest while above the din arose the clear and SON
orous tones OF Judge Norris-"Mr. Sheriff. YOU
must preserve order in Court"
Order was at last restored, and the great mass
Of Humanity, lately bosterous and surging TO
and fro like the waves OF The sea, was still
as the grave. The jury entered Their foreman
carried in his hand the verdict. The countenan
ces of the jury indicated their fatal decision and
bore traces of the mental struggle through
which they had passed The prisoner entered
apparently calm and unmoved at any pre-
vions occasion. He cast one fartlve glance at the
twelve that held his lie in their hands, and
then set down to hear his DOOM 1t was an aw-
fu moment Ere his heart could give sixty more
pusations he would know whether he was TO be
once more restored to life and liberty or whether
his sands OF life nearly run A feeling of
deep solemnlty appeared to pervade the audience,
and men held their breath to catch the slightest
sound. The clerk read the verdict; and as the
word GUILTY fell upon the prisoners ear, no
muscle of his face moved-no tear fell from his
eye-no sob convulsed his frame If he had an
ticipated and prepared himself for the result he
could not have manifested less emotion
No manifestation of approval disapproval
on the part oil the audinece followed the rendition
OF the verdict. The probability of such an occur

thoughtful consideration that does him honor, had
expressly enjoined its omission
Thus ended this important trial: drama of real
life such is rarely witnessed Chicago Trib
