neither the judge nor attorneys who had
fought IN the case had arrived. twenty
three minutes later the jury filed in, and
In a minute or 50 after Judge Helm said:
Gentlemen OF the jury you have heard

tiOns. and the case Of the Commonwealth
against Scott Jackson IS submitted to

you will retire to your rooms" or

which was written Scott Jackson's doom.
a death-llke silence prevailed as Clerk
Beauscher received the verdict and read
it in measured. solemn tone:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant, Scott
Jackson. guilty OF the murder OF Pearl
Bryan. and fix the punishment as death. ~
Despite the stringent instructions OF the
judge to the contrary, there was a MUIR
mur of approval in the room and a few
even applauded by clappng their hands.
The prisoner sat motionless. There was not
the slightest visible trace OF emotion iu
any feature. and ne walked from the
courtroom back to his cell with a firm
and even step Neither Mrs. Bryan nor
Mrs Jackson were i'm the courtroom.
When court recOnyened for the after
noon session Mr. Crawford moved an ar
rest Of judgment. on the ground that the
Indictment did not state whether Jackson
was guilty as principal or accessory. This
the Court Oyerruled. Colonel Crawford
then moved that q new trial be granted

the argument on the motion.
