A tragic feature of the Hagel West Ike Case which brought a hush to the packed courtroom occurred Lite yesterday afternoon when Robert j.

He had just com pitted the first six weeks confinement 5f a seven year term for his self con leased complicity in the plot for the jail delivery. Xvi h the continuous clash of counsel and witness and the play of wit which has been a Day by Day feature of the trial the court Habi tues were inclined to Overlook the fact that the Liberty of two men was at stake. They were forcibly reminded of this when Reid err ered the court room. His every action showed that the big genial hearted Farmer boy of other Days was thoroughly broken in spirit. He gave his evidence in subdued undertones that were hardly audible at times and Peke almost listlessly. His entire hearing showed that he had already learn a the terrible lesson of what it Means to be separated from the world. Hii manner was in direct contrast to the bold and Brazen Buxton who had Judi preceded him.
