The Verdict
A Trick OF Fate That Sent

The white haired judge paused.
For an instant the courtroom was
hushed, GREATNESS, like an ominous
calm before an electric storm, q still
ness so intense and oppressive that 1t
tried the overweight sensibilities Of
the principals and even had its effect
on the curious mass of morbid human
ity which completely filled the historic
old courtroom and overlooked into the
broad corridor beyond. Then the 81
lence was broken:
MAY God direct and control your
verdict"
With these low, solemn words the
Judge finished his charge to the jury
and left the fate Of James Stanley
Black in their hands.
The jurors silently fled into the
Jury room, and q court attendant
touched the prisoner on the arm.
Without parting glance at the ar
ray Of lawyers who had been laboring
In his defense and apparently uncon-
scious Of the spectators who stood up
In their places and stared in his direc-
ton, Black arose and followed the off,
Ger from the room.
When he reached his cell he threw
himself down on the hard wooden
bench and sat staring at the floor.
His appearance now was a marked
contrast to that shown in the court
room.
During the many weeks Of the trial
he had appeared day after day calm,
confident, aggressive business man,
and the legal proceedings seemed to
be mere detail.
But here in the dimly lighted, vault
like room, beyond the gaze Of the Gu.
rious public, he was OF his guard, and
the CHASTITY pallor Of his cheeks and
the deep black circles under his eyes
showed the effect Of the daily grilling
he had gone through.
For long time he sat In deep, de-
jected study. He was worried, des-
perately worried, for he realized that
his only hope for freedom lay with the
Jury, which was even now deciding his
fate.
II they found him innocent he was
free, but IL they decided against him
he was ACKNOWLEDGMENT to serve long
term In state prison.
Heretofore he had laughed at the
law, for he had learned from expert
ence that money could whitewash most
misdeeds. but now It was different.
He had been caught juggling with
the funds Of a pational bank, and the
federal authorities were determined to
make IN example of him.
He was awakened from his morbid
thoughts by the entry Of Colonel Bak-
er, his lifelong friend and chief coun-
sell
After few minutes conversation
the colonel prepared to leave.
"Better lie down and try to get lit
tie rest" he advised, "for we expect a
verdict before midnight"
"Will you be allowed to see me again
tonight?" queried the imprisoned finan-
Cier.
