Others Show Little Emotion

Lefty" Louie had been looking at
| the Jury. but not a muscle Of his face
moved when the verdict was rendered.
He turned his gaze on his pals for
a moment, and then looked straight
al Justice Golf. "DaGo' Frank and
! "Gvp" the Blood had their heads
straight to the front. "Dago's' mouth
twiched little, but that was the only
sign of emotion. "Gyp" reached into
his pocket for his handkerchief, with
which he brushed his forehead a
moment. and then relaxed into
stoical attitude.
The mother and young sister oil
"Dago" Frank were in the courtroom
and they began TO sob softly. The
spell was broken by Clerk Pennys
voice again. The jurors took their
seats and he walked over near Mr.
Montgomery, inquiTing:
"As to each Of the defendants? As to
all Of the defendants?"
Mr. Montgomery, in unison with sew
eral other jurors, answered:
! "All Of them"
"Of murder in the first degree?"
asked the clerk.
Yes" responded the foreman.
Mr.. Wahle, the gunmen's counsel,
arose and addressed the court, with a
grave face. He did not ask that the
irrors he DoIled. as counsel for Charles
! Becker had done.
May 1 reserve my motions for the
day fixed for sentence?" he asked the
court.
! Il will hear them tomorrow morn
ing" said Justice Golf, after comforting
with Clerk Penny. The defendants
are remanded until tomorrow morning
at 1870 o'clock"
| The handouts clicked as they were
/ fastened by the deputies upon the
wrists Of the prisoners, and the little
| procession started back through the
courtroom. "Gyp," as he was being
| led away, turned and said something to
Lefty" Louie in sneering manner.
"Dago" Frank turned toward his coun-
sci and said:
Come over right away; we want to
see you"
Justice Gofr left the bench at once
and the courtroom was quickly cleared.
Crowd Seeks Glimpse of Men.
A large crowd had collected in
Franklin street on either side Of the
| Bridge Of Signs, evidently for the pur-
| pose Of getting a glimpse Of the four
( prisoners as they were taken back to
/ their cells. The heads Of the deputies
/ and the prisoners could be seen from
1 the street as they marched across the
mournful covered entrance which con-
meets the court building with the city
I prison. The police had a scufle with
1 several men who ventured up on the
| mezzanine floor where the prisoners
| had to be taken on their way to the
Tombs.
| Another crowd Of several hundred
men and boys had collected on the
I White street side Of the building, where
the large green auto bus stood at the
door waiting for the jurors The jury,
in charge Of Captain Tierney, Lieu
/ tenant Brady and a score Of uniformed
men from the Elizabeth street station,
with Captain Lynch and the court
squad acting as escorts, were taken
4 ID tot To hn
building and out to the waiting auto
mobile.
| The crowd pressed so closely that the
machine could not be started until the
police charged the throng. The ma
/ chine finally got away and took the
| jurors to the Murray Hill Hotel, where
] they have been living during the trial.
There they had luncheon, and after
collecting their belongings departed
for their homes.
No one was allowed to get to the
| jurors after they rendered their YER
dict, until they were safely in the auto
bus. The police fairly surrounded
/ them in their short walk through the
| building. II was learned, however,
! that after a brief discussion they took
one ballot, which resulted in a unan-
| imous vote for murder in the first
| degree. The verdict was reached in
twenty minutes after they entered the
| jury room, it was said.
As Mr.. Wahle was leaving the court
room he was asked what he thought
Of the verdict What more could we
do than make a good fight" he said.
"Of course, we will appeal"
Gunner Want Appeals Rushed.
Counsel for the defence said he did not
consider Justice COTS charge to the Jury
unfair TO his clients He declared, how
ever that some Of the exceptions taken
by the defence, both during the trial and
20 the courts charge. would furnish good
grounds for "A reversible error and a new
trial lie hurried over to the Tombs TO
see his clients and conferred with them
