"The Brothers Oath" He was seen by a
reporter and apprised of the verdict in the
James trial. Upon being informed of the

The verdict in the James case was re-

report flew from mouth to mouth till it be-
came the sole theme on the streets, in the
saloons, at the hotels, among business men
and lawyers, in police and city circles, and,
in fact, among all classes of people. Itwas
talked about tonight to the exclusion of
other topics. Some declared that no other
result could have been reached; that there
was no evidence to convict; that the state
ments of witnesses for the State were not
worthy of belief. One in a thousand thought
that James had received simple justice.
A great majority of the people, however,
said that the verdict of acquittal was an
outrage which would add to Missouri's
