the plan and were not there might not nave peeu
members of that brotherhood. In concluding ms
charge, he asked the jury to dwell on the evidence
with that solemn consideration OF d.o;ds hs
whether or not any reasonable doubt existed as to
the guilt of the accused man. In making up ,nelr e
verdict they should set aside all prejudice all tne
weakness that frequently influences the judgment !
and biases ones words. He expressed the hope thaG
they would be influenced by Divine inspiration.
now THE VERDICT WAS RECEIVED.
The jury then retired. They did not remain ont
long for after about forty minutes they sent WORD
that they had reached an agreement and, beng
summoned back to their benches, announced,
amid breathless silence in the court
room that Joseph Brady was guilty OF MURDER
When the verdict was read a deep but suppressed
murmur went round the courtroom, and BRADY,
who up to this time had been singuIarly composer
and free from emotion, turned ashen pale. Dr.

had pronounced the sentence of death, moved Tor
an arrest of judgment. He alleged that under
the Crimes act the jury which had heard
the case and had just . gwen III
its verdict not legally formed !;
that the prisoner had not received notice that he
was TO be tried before special Jury. The motl0n
was denied by Judge Obrien, who then SAID 10 me
prisoner: Have you anything to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced upon you = ,,
Brady responded in loud, clear and firm voice:
am not guilty of the charge which the lnlOrmers
have sworn on me these men would swear away
| the life of any one to save their Own"
SENTENCED To BE HANGED
The sentence was then pronounced. Ii was that
| on Nav II next Joseph Brady be hanged 10y the
neck till dead After the sentence had been pro-
! nounced Brady, who meantime had recovered MS
| composure, rose in his seat and with solemn We
| hemence protested his innocence OF the CRIME
| After making his last disclaimer he was hurried
from the courtroom by the officers In the street
the announcement of the verdict had been received
with marks OF the utmost dsfavor and condemna-
| tion. Great crowds of people had wated iinpa-
tientIy about the doors of the tribunal untii the
conclusion OF the trial, and now were packed sun
closer about the building IN hopes OF getting sgh'
of the condemned man as he was taken 10 the JAIL
There was however, no demonstration beyond
| the ordinary display of sympathy with the con,
demned man and discomfort with the result oi
| the trial.
