pearances he was in no way affected
by the result of the trial.
The crowd gathered at the city hall
since his arraignment. People We're
lined up on both sides of the big ro-
tunda on the second floor where the
eourt convened and fringed the stairs
leading from the floor above. There
was no demonstration except that of
curiosity. A large number of women
witnessed the proceedings.
A Dramatic Scene.
After the jury had retired to consid-
