LIE CnrRr's RrLTNG.
SUBMITTED WITHOUT ARGUMENT.
Neither side Having Anything to Say the
jury Retires.

jury Retires.
The Jury only remained in the room
about a minute.
As soon as they had been polled and per-
feet silence was obtained Common
wealth s-Attorncy Smith arose and pre-
pared 20 address the court.
Before he begun, however, a member OF
counsel for the defence touched hlm on
the shoulder and suggested that the argu-
ment bc dispensed with, saying that they
were willing not TO say anything II he
would not.
This was perfectly agreeable to him and
before the assembled thrOng realized what
| was going on the case had been placed in
| the hands of the dozen men whose un-
pleasant duty it was TO say whether
| Grymes should be stamped a dishonest
man and sent TO the States prison or be
set free and restored TO the bosom OF his
| family.
II was little disappointing 10 some that
there was no argument Many had by
great perseverance gained desirable POSI-
| tions in the room. aud all expected to hear
able and eloquent speeches from
both the wealth's-Attorney, who
had conducted the case so well,
and the learned counsel for the prisoner.
THE JURY GOES OUT.
At six minutes of o'clock the Jury was
| sent To It's room. An hlI Dl SuDhufh "a
citement pervaded the hundreds present.
All looked serious, and what little conyer-
satOn was carried on was much more
quietly conducted than before. Nearly
| every eve in the room was centred on the
prisoner and his relatives. On every side
expressions Of sympathy were heard,
| especially for the mother and wife, who
seemed bowed with grief.
The prisoner sat quietly with n deter,
mined look on his face, leaning his head
on his left hand which was opened, the
elbow resting on the arm of the chair. His
wiia sat near him, her face ashy white and
completely crushed by grief But the sad
dest sight of all was the widowed mother,
who used superhuman efforts in bearing
up. Not one was there in the room but
who would gladly have tempered the blow
TO her.
WANTED TIE LAW.
When the jury had been out nearly
fifteen minutes Deputy FerneyhOugh came
in and told the Court they wanted lntor-
nation as to the punishment prescribed.
The Code was sent out 10 them, opened ut
the section, which provides for term ot
not less than one nor more than ten years
IN the penitentiary. The reason for this, 1t
Is understood. was that the Jury desired TO
make the punishment as light a. possible
aud wished 20 ascertain If under the law
the offence could be punished by conhne-
,naut IN iail
