Many Vacant Seats.
The attendance is not so large as i'll
the former trial. But there were but
few louneers on the street corners,
aud the corridors are practically de
serted save for those with court bust
ness on nand.
Inside the court room there is plen-
~ of vacant seats, and the space is
growing as the day advances and the
talesmen take their departure.
The court proceedings during the
day is running like the grinding of Il
well-oiled machine. There is no

counsel table.
But there was no trace of the wild
eyed defiance that was observed dur

from face TO face, but nobody returned
his gaze, except his Wife From her

Thaw seemed ordinary-very ordin-

cold, like cast-iron stove, without
heat. 1t is sullcn. TOO Nowhere in
his bearing did he seem to bear the
hallmark of gentility. that indefinable
something that usually comes with
birth and breeding. His nails were
