Saturday, when the jury entered to
give the verdict. he slumped down in
his chair.
His manacled hands pressed u hand
kerchief to his lips. A tear swollen
face bespoke his comprehension Of the

fate. An officer sat nearby.
There was no change in the defend

his feet by the officers who took him
back to Jail.

In an adjoining room sat . white.
faced woman, her lips compressed
tightly. She was the prisoners moth

Four brothers Of the defendant
awaited the outcome quietly.
As Ferdinand passed from the
court, the mother tried to reconcile
herself. To those who understood
