The Exchange Of Tickets.
Assistant Marshal Robinson has had
charge of the arrangements for the trial.
and during the first few days of the pro-
ceedfngs issued tickets of admission to a
limited number Of persons. There were
only enough Of these to comfortably FIJI
the seating capacity Of the chamber
Many of these tickets were not used on
the days for which they were dated,
but were given away or sold TO others
who appeared and demanded admission
later. As a result, the seating capacity
OF the room was overtaxed. and scores
OF spectators were compelled to stand.
It is expected that all Of the cards now
held by the general public VIII be pre-
sented or Monday. when they viii be
taken up, and the number limited to
lust the seating capacity. This wiH lead
to much disappointment. hut viii prevent
erowding and preserve the dignity Of the
trial
