Then there was a hush. The jurors walked
to their chairs between a file of court
officials. There was no sign of cheer in
any OF their faces. As soon as they had
taken their seats a deputy sheriff brought
MolineuX from the prison There was no
sign of apprehension on the young mans
face. His step was light and springy,
and he smiled as if he had not a care in
the world. Then he sat down, looked for
moment straight at the recorders bench
and then whispered to Mr.. Weeks, who
was showing signs of nervousness. n
moment later the recorder entered. The
names Of the jury were read and the clerk
said:
