Miss Harris occupied her usual seat
heavily yelled, between Messrs. Bradley
and Hughes, and remained there duriAs
the three hsurs that Mr. voorhees, adj
dressed the jury, after which, by permis.
sion of the court, she retired to an ante
room where she remained pending the
delivery of the closing argument for the
prosecution.
The speech of Mr.. Voorhees, was listen.
