has dragged its weary length for 50

friends with whom he discussed the
trial. He was quiet but confident OF

was OF the opinion that the longer the
jury remained out the less chances there

Attorneys Vincent and Phalen, for the
defense, were no less confident than the
counsel for the state. A rumor was
current in the court room shortly after

Over in the jail Luetgert was given
more freedom than is usually accorded
to prisoners. He was liable to be called
at any moment. and in consideration Oh

per mission 20 walk in the corridar. HIS
pockets were filled with strong cigars
and ne kept one constantly between rs

smoke as he walked to and fro. He was
making a desperate effort TO appear al
ease, but the attempt was by no means
successful He was greatly DISTURBED
and his nerves were wrought 10 theiI

as he walked back and forth. he would
stop in front of his cell and say to

ooh, they'll acquit me, all right
they'll acqut me-" but mis- actions show
ed very little of the confidence express

chances for an agreement before morn
