THE PROSECUTION AND DEFESCE
attracted little attention, though the defence
was conducted by n. Lachaud, the most emf
ncnt criminal lawyer. But the verdict was
foregene conclusion.
SENTENCED TO DEATH.
When the jury retired to consider their vcr-
dict, Traupmann said to one of the gendarmes
who accompanied him (here the prisoner and
the judges retire while the jury are considering
their verdict:) SIS their petite machine going
to last long ?" The gendarme replied, "Aboutt
an hour" Thereupon Traupmann laughed
and said, ''Then we will have time to play a
little game of cards." The verdict of the jury
having been rendered, the court passed SEN
tence of death on the prisoner. The audience
appauded loudly for some time. Traup-
mann was as unmovcd as ever, and as he was
carried away bowed ironically to the court
and smiled cynically at the audience.
