JOHN LEWIS SUPPLIES THE CLEw.

JOHN LEWIS SUPPLIES THE CLEw.
Although the verdict had been antici-
pated by the majority of those who had
been present throughout the examina-
tion, all were nevertheless Mortified,
even though they admitted its justice
in consideration of the evidence There
were some, of course. who stoutly main
tanned that Virginia was innocent, but
they were chiefly her most intimate
friends These proclaimed themselves
to be in a position to judge better than
those who did not know her SO well.
Unhesitatingly they asserted that her
whole life and character made it utter
ly preposterous to harbor a suspicion of
a crime Of so heinous a nature. Said
one, docs an innocent girl become a
hardened criminal in a moment?" But
others gravely shook their older heads
and readily recalled instances where
equally respectable individuals had
been proved guilty of murder. After
all, horrible as it is TO take life, yet,
viewed FROM certain standpoint, muir
der is less dishonorable than theft. One
