hands clasped on his legs and his
eyes fixe6 on his hands or on the
floor just before him. No testimony
has affected this bearing. no charge
made by the prosecution moved him
and even when eye witnesses told
the story of the shooting he was
as unmoyed as if he were totally
deaf and unaware of the whole pro-
ceedings. The halting entrance OF
the mother of the victim, who her
self was still suffering from weak
ness caused by wounds inflicted
by him at the time of the murder,
