on Grifiths with . pitchfork. and the latter

A pitiful scene was enacted when Grifaths
was brought in for sentence. He seemed aRi-
tated and nervous, in marked contrast with
his manner during the trial. which was calm
and composed. He expected q verdict OF &C.
quittal and many others who knew the facts
believed that the jury would not ind him
guilty. but they had pronounced their YER
diet and Grifiiths was at the bar Of Justice to
receive sentence. His eyes were bloodshot as
II he had not slept during the night. and his
whole manner betokened distress. When he
was directed to stand up for sentence he arose
and looked the Judge eauarely In the face. As
