The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-08-26

The judge was the first to make a move.
Stepping to the front he ordered that the
jurors be polled. Each juror was then
asked if the verdict expressed his true con-
viction and if he agreed in the verdict.
In answer there came firm but low Il

AS they reached the door, Lingg turned
and looked at his sweetheart and his anguish
was apparent by the tears in his eyes. AS
her eyes met those of her lover. tears
burst out afresh. Grim Michael Schwab
turned. and he was just in time to hear
shrek from his wife and see her fall
against seat. He made motion towards
her, but collected himself and went out with
the others.
Then the Judge glanced for the first time
at the prisoners and their friends. He
then allowed his eyes to rest for moment
on the cringing form of the little old mother,
weeping. Then bringing his eyes to the
jury again, he told them they had done their
work well. You have listened attentively
to the evidence, given every detail, both for
and against the prisoners your close atten-
tion, and your verdict is an expires sion Of
your convictions. This has been long an d
tedious trial, but you have served well
thank you for your attention.
The Judge then, in a few words, dis
charged the jury and notified them that they
were at liberty to 60. There was not one of
the twelve good and true men but looked
thankful and drew a sigh of relief. The
jury then rose and filed out of the room, and
the baliffs made their way to the sides of
the prisoners. Not one word escaped any
one of the eight. Their faces still wore the

seats and followed the bailiffs it was with
slow and unsteady steps.

of rawlings and she fell back in dead faint
RestOratives were applied and when she
regained consciousness again she resumed
her cries. Some of her female friends
quieted her and even Judge Gary came
down from the bench and looked pityingly
at her. She was taken out of the room and
the others followed.
Mrs. Parsons did not seem very much
agitated, though she bit her lips and looked
at the judge with strained eyes. Spies
mother lay clinging to her daughters dress
and tears gushed from her eyes freely. The
other women also wept and the crowd in
the street stood aside in respectful manner
to let them pass.
Judge Gary came down shortly after, and
a great many persons lifted their hats as he
passed. The court room was cleared and
the people went to their homes and their
work. The trial of the reds was over.
Before adjourning Judge Gary set the time
for any motions by the defense for next
Thursday.
