SeOville was Very much depressed.
The reaction resulting from the conf,,-

such an important part was plainly per-
! t'eptihls in his carc-wOrn face. Said he !:
shall make an argumcn. in favor of

hope OF the prayer being granted. The
Judges to- whom We must appeal are
preju'lice'i by public sentiment against
the prisoner, ami there is not Nl,cl,
