word to the jury, and it devolved upon
the "Tall Pine" w. w. Erwin. to
say the final words i'll the defendants

to arrive at Il verdict. The scene was
a mQst impressive one. The sick Juror
had been made as comfortable as DOS
sible for the final ordeal. and the court
room was packed to suffoeation with
curious throng.
Just before 10 o'clock the palsied
father Of the defendant came in with
his wife leaning heavily upon him.
They found seats among the throns,
the defense fearing to have them too
near the attorneys table. Then in
came Harry Hayward, with his keen.
ers, manacled but debonnair, fresh and
seemingly confident Of acquittal. He
stopped II moment to receive his faith
er's blessing. and to reply with real, or
simulated gaiety: "Oh, I'm all right"
Mr.. Erwin began his address in a
subdued and impressive manner, re-
ferring first to the length Of the trial,
the hardships Of the jury and the wide
spread interest in the case. The case
