TIE Deum Heard With Verdict.
It was in the quiet Of a beautiful
Sunday morning that the jury in this
famous case brought in it's verdict. The
refrain of the TIE Deum was waited
from the pipe organ in st. PauPs Epis-
copal cathedral, half block distant,
and was distinctly heard as Judge Nc
Pherson received the announcement
from the foreman of the jury and then,
in modulated voice expressed the
thanks of the court for the jury'sl pa
thence and fidelity to duty and, turning
to the long line of convicted men
standing at the railing of the enclosure.
directed that they be again locked up
and returned to court at 10 o'clock this
morning to receive their sentence.
Mrs. Mabray Weeps.
Despite the unusual hour and short
notice, the cour room was crowded, just
as it has been every moment Of the
ten days that the case has been on
trial. The only women in the room,
however, were Mrs. Mabray and her
sister, who occupied the same chairs
near where Mabray has sat, and lis
tened to the reading Of the verdict. 1t
was tense moment. The stiffness
was oppressive and as the last word
fell from the foreman's lips Mrs. Ma
bray let her head fall upon her hand, a
sob, tho slight, escaped her and in
stantly all eyes were turned in her di-
rection. Mabray was at the moment,
standing at the end of the line of pris-
oners nearest his wife. Quickly and
without the slightest hesitation or in
quiring look to the court, the man took
two steps and placing his arm about
his faithful helpmate, attempted to
comfort and soothe her. The woman's
sister did not show any emotion and
shot look Of defiance at the direction
of the jury and the court. Mabray's
face was study. In it one could de-
tect conflict of emotion. That he ex-
perienced a depth Of feeling for his
wife, was evident, and at the same time
he plainly strove to prevent the slight
est indication of regret over the out
come Of the case His was the gam
bler's face. He looked like the man
who had taken the chance and who had
lost, yet who had the nerve and the self
control not to disclose his innermost
feeling.
Interest Was Intense.
The orders Of the court were short
