the court room with the step of an liz
firm and tottering old man.
The arraignment of the prisoner wa
a most solemn affair, and as lnterprete
Carmen Di Mare repeated to him tina
part of the indictment charging hin
with wilful murder, the form of Fain
swayed to and fro in the prisoners doc
and the doomed man was as pale a
death. With uplifted hand he listene
to every word of the serious allegations
realizing full we'll that he was charge
with crime for which human lif
must pay the forfeiture.
PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
"Michael Faino," said Clerk Biggs a
he finished reading the lengthy indlcl
ment, "Are you guilty in manner an,
form as you stand indicted, or nc
, guilty."
"Not guilty." replied the prisoner i
t faltering tones.
5 "How will you be tried?"
. "By God and my country"
} May God send you safe deliver
ance."
FAINo BREAKS DOWN.
During all this time Clerk Biggs stoo
with one arm resting on the railing {
