Chief Justice White interrupted at this
point to ask Il there was anything In
the record or the original motion for a
new tria, which suggested that there
might be fear OF mob violence on the
part OF the trial Judge
"Not a word replied Mr.. Dorsey
promptly. "ln that early procedure ref
erencs was made to the effect Of fear
on the part of the jury, not on the
Judge. The Judge WAS not mentioned In
this connection until the procedure eight
months later. As to tho influence OF
fear on the Jury, as q matter OF fact the
record shows that the jury was not in
he Jury room at the time OF the disorder
referred to by defendants counsel.
Counsel for IN. defence omitted to
state that every time tho courts atten-
ton was called to disorder the crowd
was cautioned and tho Sheriff was or
dered TO move the crowd back. Under

There was no coercion OF the pria-
oner," he said. ~, was simply the case
