lMRS.ROSIER'S ARRIVAL

in the courtyard since the trial began

more than an hour until the Sheriff. =
van arrived: then after Mrs. Roster had
been taken TO the prisoners tower. dis
appeared from their observation post.
The jurors got only heeting glimpse
Of the young woman. if they saw her
at all. The crowd in the courtyard
watched in vain, because Of the zeal Of
the van driver. who backed his vehicle
in so close to the door that few more
inches would have taken it inside.
Mrs. Roster was the first off. Then
the van was moved ont to its usual DO
sition, several feet from the tower door.
and the other prisoners descended. Mrs
Roster was one Of three women, one Of
the other two being colored. There
were sixteen men in the male compart-
ment of the van.
1t was just q n'cOck when the
Sherif's van entered by the west gate.
People passing through ran after it
and formed the nucleus of large
crowd, estimated at between four and
five hundred PERSONS, who pressed
around within a few moments. A strong
force Of City Hall guards. as on pre-
viOus days. got on the job instantly and
soon had the crowd moving.
