penalty. That Is true. l do not think
it is usually Within the province Of
the states attorney to ask the jury
10 return such a verdict But this
crime is so cruel, Ieinous and wsnton
that 1 feel justified in asking at your
hands the extreme penalty of the law

finished his address, and he was con-
graduated by few friends who sat
near him The judge granted an i'm

room. Luetgert got up and Went oTt

returned, passing Inspector Schaah,

look which combined malice, scorn and

In ten minutes the jury had returned

TuthAl swung around in his chair ua-
til he faced the jury and. deliberately
picking up his notes on the charge, he
began the reading of the charges.
Silence as still as death pervaded
the packed court room while the judge
was reading his instructions. His voice
was clear and strong and even the
throng which was wedged into the
corridor outside the court room heard
every word. The jurors stood and
listened to every word attentively.
As Judge Tuthil finished the read
ing he looked up at the jurors and
said;
Gentlemen, you may retire and con-
