The persistency with which people hung around
the nelghborhood OF the court from the early
morning until the evening was wonderful to be-
hold, especially considering the heat and the i'm
possibility OF nnding any place to sit down. Nat

He would call his friend one side and whis-

WATCHING THE JURY
The windows OF the room IN which the jury were
confined overooEs ed the small park at the back OF
the Court House. This point OF observation was
the attraction TO q moderately large number OF
people, who patiently waited hour aft hour
with their eyes, as 1t were, fastened steadily on
these windows In the hope that possibly some
glimpse might be caught OF the Jury and an idea
be obtained TO what prospect there was OF their
agreeing. Every now and then one or two OF
''the twelven would come and look out, take q
seat ana begin 10 ian himself, clearly indicating
the fact that IL IL sinecure they hold, but that
their labors are exnaustlnR and enervating In

chamber. Several times

Everybody Is here,r cried stalwart country

The countryman spoke the truth. Long before

the hour OF recess two streams or
