that both were in love with the same
woman, and as the two could not mar
ry her and one did not wish to de-
prive the other of her possession, both
agreed to commit suicide and Nadlel
succeeded.
Neither young Walworth's counter
ance nor demeanor underwent any
change after the delivery of the YER
dict. The prevailing impression here
was that he would be acquitted.
The Tribune says: "Never within
the memory of this generation has any
great criminal issue been SO promptly
and satisfactorily tried in New York.
The World says: ''The severity O
the verdict indicates that the reaction
of the mawkish party which for 81
long time bore sway in the jury oxe
has begun"
The Times says !: ''The moral efiec
of the verdict was needed and an &C
quittal would have been an invitation
to every youth having a dissolute o
a tyrannical father to whip him."

tenders of the prisoner and the scene

herself was not blind on this occasion
