events of to-day show how deep and general
the feeling is. Before the prison gates were
opened this morning hundreds had gathered
for admission, and from that time until near-
ly o'clock, when the gates were finally closed
in the faces of g crowd yet waiting for in
grsss, the stream Of humanity of every class,
color, ege and grade pouring into all was in

to enter, and these would then file through
the corridors and past the open cells, where
the accused stood IN the doors. under guard.
They would then 20 ous and another lot be
let in. In this way over 600 persons visited
the prisoners. The excitement about the
gate was SO inteuss, and the anxiety to enter
SO great, that it required the utmost efforts Of
the officers to preserve order and prevent p 7.
sons being crushed. The examination will
take place on Monday, and, from present sp-
peaIances. half the people of ths county ex-
| pecb TO be present.
