 The court sustained the motion and the prosecution summed up briefly the testimony introduced in support of the charge.
 Working with a speed that had be- come unusual in the trial the court then took up the roll call. The cham Der was intensely quiet as one sen aye" many with voices that were kept steady with difficulty. Twenty eight votes were necessary to convict and as the clerk read down the list each name called adding a vote against the executive, the ten sion increased as the decisive vote drew near.
 Galleries Cheer. Senator c. D. Leedy or Arnett, was the twenty-eighth man on the roll. With the determining vote in his power he arose and told the court he would vote mo" unless given tho stiffness.
 "All right, go ahead and vote"
 "Then I vote Aye" Senator Leedy said. and as the words left his lips burst of cheers and applause came from the galleries, 1 When the roll was complete the clerk read the result and Chief Jus ] al. preme court who presided at the trial, announced the verdict. Guilty as charged in article 1s," the chief justice said.
