Every eye In the courtroom was
fixed upon Richard Ferguson, reporter

fession. The first occasion was in the

his paper on the conviction OF an &C.
cused millionaire, the events OF whose
sensational trial had filled columns
OF the press for many days. The jury
had deliberated for three days and
two nights and the defendants fate
had not been decided until the early
hours Of the morning.

velope containing It had been left In
