Judge Hart began his charge to the
lury at 9:30 a. m. and finished »t
11:15, at wulch time the twelve
men retired to deliberate. The type-
written charge ot sixty-two pages,
about 400 words to the page, was
handed to Juror J. Hyde, and ac-
cording to custom in this country
this makes him the foreman. The
twelve deliberated quietly until 12:-
30, when they asked for luncheon.
Immediately after the meal they set-
tled down* to their task again. For
a long time ther-> came only the mo-
notonous sound of one reading—

twelve began to argue and at times
