balliffs to step forward to clear wide space
before the jury box, when Judge Longenecker

Judge Mcconnell looked surprised. The States

pale. Setting his heavy jaws firmly, he tried to
assume an air OF unconcern. but his little eyes
wandered restlessly in every direction, and he
trembled perceptibly. The only person in the
court room who seemed TO notice his emotion
was his attorney. Forrest The latter renewed
