Rh Mr. Hays—May I, as one of the counsel for the defense, ask your honor to allow me to send you the "Origin of Species and the Descent of Man," by Charles Darwin?

(Laughter.)

The Court—Yes; yes.

(Laughter and applause.)

The Court—Has anyone else anything to say.

(No response.)

If not—

Officer Kelso Rice—Now, people, when court is adjourned—

The Court—Wait, do not adjourn yet.

(A train whistle blows.)

The Court—Go ahead, officer.

Officer Rice—Do not crowd the aisles. When the court has adjourned move slowly, do not be in a hurry. But move slowly, everybody, when court is adjourned and do not block the aisleways at all. Keep moving.

The Court—We will adjourn. And Brother Jones will pronounce the benediction.

Dr. Jones—May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion and fellowship of the Holy Ghost abide with you all. Amen.

The Court—The court will adjourn sine die.
