courtroom.
The verdict was the result of nearly
thirty-six hours deliberation on the part
of the jurors. After having retired at 3
o. clock Thursday there was no indca-
ton that decision was near until about
> o'clock this morning. when a request
for pen and paper was followed by the
announcement that verdict had been
reached. This. however. was all that
was positively known until the announce
ment was made in court.
The reading was followed by motion
by Attorney Miller for new trial. Judge
Anderson granted permission for the III

torney would be permitted to make the
formal application later. and that he
would listen TO arguments on January 2S.

Juror Breaks Down.


The reading of the verdict was followed
| by a scene intensely dramatic. When the
| jury was polled at the request of Attor-
ney John S. Miller of counsel for the de-
| fendant. Elbert Palmer. II juryman from
! Harvard. H.. was overcome by emotion
and wept as he signified his acquiescence
| in the findings. He sat with head bowed
| upon his hands during the preliminary
proceedings and failed TO rise 10 his feet
| as the others had done to reply to the
| Interrogation of the clerk: Was this and
| is that now your verdict" A bailin
| touched his arm when his turn to answer
came. He apparently had not heard the
question. and it was repeated. Palmer
rose and stood unsteadily. With eyes
downcast. and muttered something unin-
| teligible to the court and attorneys.
| Under prompting by Judge Anderson the
| juror then replied. with apparent effort at
self-control and while the tears coursed
down his cheeks: Yes. under the instruc-
tions as / understand them
When the poll was completed Palmer
was questioned further by the court, at
the request of Attorney Miller. and in an

him replied: Il have to say yes

Pleaded for Walsh.

1t developed later that Palmer was
largely responsible for the long delibera-
ton of the jury. So insistent was he that
Walsh be acquitted that he forced his
fellow jurors to take separate ballots on
every one of the 1JO counts in the indict-
ment.
HE is such an old man-over seventy
years Old is said to have been the con-
slant plea of Palmer. He was techni-
cally guilty. but none OF his depositors
lost, and what is the use of sending an
old man to prison." he is quoted as hav-
ing urged upon the other jurors time
after time. He is said to have wept at
times in the jury room as he begged the
others to consider the age of the de-
fendant and have compassion.

who sat at d table surrounded by his
attorneys, appeared less. moved by the
result of the long trial than almost any
body else concerned. He was immedi-
ately surrounded by a score of personal
friends who pressed forward to offer
words of sympathy and encouragement.
To these he made brief replies, smiling
family as he shook the proffered hands.
