He looked exceedingly well physically
and smiled a greeting to his wother,
his wife and his sisters and brothers
F He then turned to where the three
commissioners sat and gased fixedly at
theta for several minutes.
Justice Fitzgerald in discharging the
Jury until next Monday warned them
to be careful not to discuss the case In
ADy way or to read any newspaper ac-

“When you honored me by asking
me to consent to become a member of
the commission in re Thaw and sug
gested that Dy-so dolog 1 would be
