the general impression that there could
be no other outcome than disagree
ment. The rumors which spread SO
rapidly and frequently throughout the
night. and which were as unreliable as
such rumors always are. were gener-
ally TO the effect that a majority OF
the Jurors had voted for conviction.
Some were even SO radical as To say
that the only difference OF opinion eH-
isting In the Jury was as to the degsee
OF guilt. The apprehension Of disagree
ment spread even To members OF the
defendants counsel. and when To this
feeling were added the rumors Of
an adverse decision. which continually
beat about their ears during the night.
there could be found none To doubt the
senuineness Of their JOY an the verdict
