Caverly agreed with the attorneys, therefore, to hear such evidence, both as to facts and mental responsibility, as the two sides might wish to present to him for his in- formation. Judge Caverly, realizing the grave responsibility which the sudden turn in the notorious Placed upon him, told the atorneys he would let nothing interfere with a speedy con- clusion of the hearing as possible. After advising the defense counsel that the plea of guilty “made pos- sible the extreme penalty" of which the defense attorney signified cognt- zance, Chief Justice Caverly allowed the plea to be entered. The defense move was a surprise to the state counsel, who anticipated a motion for continuance.

In presenting the defense motion, Attorney Darrow informed the court that the only action of the defense would be to present evidence tending to demonstrate “the degre of respon- sibility and also evidence of a re- sponsibility and insanity tn the two defendants. - “Having presented this evidence,” Darrow said, “we will throw our- selves on the mercy of the court.” At another point Mr. Darrow said “The defense fully realizes that the defendants should be permently {so- lated from society.” Aside from their first greeting to counsel, and their initial glances about ths crowded space before the bench, they gave little evidence of curiosity In the proceedings.
