Judge Werts made these remarks i'm.
mediateIy after entering the courtroom
this morning. He had thoughtful ex-
preston upon his face and the usual
smile which may be found lowering about
his mouth was missing.
While performing his duties as Judge,
his mind was evidently not deeply alb
sorbed by the details of evidence and
pleadings.

unjustifable.

Convention by saying. ave named the
next Governor" he beyond doubt be-
lieven it. "In all my experience" the
District Attorney said. 81 have never seen
such unanimity among the masses for a

but at the same time the ground smell
for Werts was so great that it could not
be overcome"
