The Verdict in the Walworth Case.

New YORK, July 3.-Ncithcr young Wal
worth countcnancc nor demcanor underwent
any change after the delivery of the verdict.
The prevailing impression here was that he
would be acquitted.
The Tribune says never within the memory

been so promptly and satisfactorily tried In
New York
The World says the severity of the verdict
indicates that the reaction Of the mawklsh pity
which for so long time bore sway in jury
boxes has begun.
The Times says the moral effect Of the verdict
was needed and an ac'plttal would have beer
an invitation to every youth having dlsSolulc
or tyrannical father to whip him.
After abiding to the array OF prominent de-
tenders Of the prisoner and the scenes generally
attending the trial, the Herald says The won
der is that justice herself was not blind on this
occasion, but society has to be protected and,
however cruel or brutal, the trial was conduct
