 Court then adjourned, and there was a rush for the enclosure where the attorneys and prisoners stood. The crowd grasped the hand of Fred ericks to congratulate him on the manner in which he had conducted the case. He smiled. but it was not the smile of exultation. but of re- lief
 .'I do not want the pound of flesh" he said ''I look at this from two viewpoints As lawyer. l wanted these men to plead guilty. because they were guilty. as the evidence gathered showed them guilty beyond all question. But as a man, I want to say that if l can recommend pun ishment less than death. ar he merci- ful in any way. and at the same time rid union labor of its desires to use violence to obtain its ends. want to do that thing"
 Around Attorney Darrow gathered a crowd also. From him they wanted to know how it happened and why. Darrow was pale The long wrinkles in his cheeks were deeper even than usual and he talked in a low and husky voice that indicated fatigue.
 Tt was a hard struggle to bring this about but it is the best thing that could have happened" he said 'I did the best I could"

McManigal was appraised of the plea of the McNa- . rIara's ard said with q chuckle, he vas glad to hear of. the action as II | confirmed his assertions. He thought the public would now regard hin: 
 ''I suspected something was wrong. said McManigal with a, smile. and his little black eyes snapped. when J. | did not go to court as early as usual | this afternoon When J. !. was taken ! over I was positive. I could not tell ! just what happened. however, until | some time later I heard the newsboys ! around the jail calling out.
