Y WAITING FOR THE VERDICT
7 When the jury had retired, the quiet which
had previously prevailed was broken by eager
conversation, the main topic being conjeeiurcs
as 10 how long the jury would be "onI."
Though there was little hope that verdict
would be reached very soon, they kept their
seats. When al length the entrance OF the jury
was announced the excitement became intense,
and as the jury fled in with solemn counlenance
and insefutabIe expression, there was q death
like hush Of suspense and expectation. There
was momentary fiutter as Guileau resumed his
place in the dock, and then came
THE VERDICT.
All eyes were fixed upon the jury as they were
asked whether they had reached . verdict
When Ihe foreman rose, and in klw bat distinct
tones, gave utierance 10 the words. " Guilty ms
indicted,1 there was Cor q moment q scene of
wild excitement, and the spectators rose from
their seats cOngralaIatinx each other that justice
was at last to hare her perfect work Il had
been predicted thai Guiiean would eFinge and
cover As the end approached. and finally break
down and one OF his family had said that if
convicted, Charles will leave the courtroom q
gibbering idiot" THIS, however, has proved TO
he mistake. He received the verdict cInblIy,
merely exclaiming, with an effort al dramatic
tffeci, God viii avenge this ouIrageT
GUITEAU RETURNED TO JAIL
As soon as the full meaning of the veFtilcr was
rtalizesl, aud the audience perceived that the
final scene was over, they dispersed quietly to
their homes, and the prisoner was escorted back
To the jail by strong mounted guard.
