During the arguments of counsel there was a high tense of expectancy and excitement. riiinte men almost went into hysterics, while great, strong women, inured to al most any degree of privation and suf fering, went" into the dini nsr rnntn and prepared a repast in keeping with the happy denouement. There is talk, however, of taking an appeal. The fact must be con fessed that fSe jury consisted of only four, instead of six as by law pro vided, and moreover it was a packed one of suffragettes. There are also rumors of tampering with the testi mony, some of those present being ready to affirm that they overheard H. R. Lamkin, star witness for the prosecution, conversing very earnest ly, outside of the witness box, with a young woman over important mat ters considered relevant to a case in court. The judge has taken this new phase of the matter under advise ment, and in the meantime will con sult the work of Robert Louis Steven son and other authorities as to his further jurisdiction in the premises. In the meantime the defendant, Mr. Chattin, is in Texas, under pa role, investigating a business propo sition, he having left early in the week with the understanding that he would not place himself beyond the pale of due process of lawshould his merry neighbors conclude to have him undergo the ordeal of a second trial. t t i i t UKAT MINORCA HKXS.
