in the United States circuit court. The II
men who had listened to the evidence and
tbe arguments for three weeks were out 70
bours and 25 minutes, and the announce

of the widest excitement ever seen in any
court house in this part Of the country for

The verdict came as a surprise to almost
everybody. The long hours of suspense had
worked the people up to point where they
seemed forced to give vent to their feelings
In the most excited manner, and the cry OF
"Guilty" was carried far and wide through
the big building and out into the street.
The story of the jury room was one OF the
most remarkable ever told of the difficulties

their hands While every man on the jury
haIieved that Bran was the murderer of the
three persons on board the barkentine Her

douht as to whether sufficient evidence had
been presented to prove his guilt. SO it hap
