Although Myra Nell sent him daily

was hard put to dispose Of, she, never

and came to see him but seldom When
she did call her attitude was most UNI
usual: she overlooked with gossip, yet
she talked with nervous hesitation;
when she found his eyes upon her she
stammered, flushed and paled. and he
caught her stealing glances of miserable
appeal at him. She was very different
from the girl he had known and mad
learned to love in big, impersonal way.
He attributed the change to MS own
failure in responding to her timid al
vances. and this made him quite un-
happy.

On the opening day the courtroom was

Then began the long, tedious task OF Sc
lecting a jury. Public opinion had run
so high that this was no easy undertake
ing AS day after day went by in the
monotonous examination and challenge
of ta1eSmen, as panel after panel was ex-
hausted with no result, not only did tpe
ridiculous shortcomings of our jury Sys-
tenn become apparent but also the Iact
that the Malta had, as usual, made full
use of its sinister powers of intimidation
In view Of the utrocious character of the
crime and the immense publicity given It,
those citizens who were qualified by IN
telligence to act as jurors had Of neces-
sity read and heard sufficient to form an
opinion and were. therefore, automatical-
ly debarred from service. 1t became
necessary to place the final adjudication
of the matter in the hands of men who
were either utterly Indifferent to the pub
lie veal or lacked the intelligence to read
and weigh and think.
A remarkable wave of humanity SEEM
ed to have overwhelmed the city. Four
out of every five men examined professed
disbelief in capital punishment, which.
although it merely covered fear of the
Mafia's antagonism. nevertheless ex-
cused them for cause. Day after day
this mockery went on.
