to get view of him. On alighting
from the train O'DonneH was imne-
diately surrounded by an impenetrable
body OF spectators, who made a
rush to gain a view of the
prisoner, but the police were too
alert and only an occasional glimpse
was obtainable. O'Donnell at first
appeared nervous and stepped off the
train somewhat hesitatingly, survey
ing the scene before him. Soon, how,
ever, he drew himself erect and de-
setlded the stairway more boldly.
