Tha United Statos Court-room was well filled yostarday morning, long befors tho hoar of ag- sombling, by » crowd of people nterosted in the casca of Ifeeing, Rohm, and oyt It was ex- pacted that theso gontlomen wonid bo prosout, and that thoy would give bLall, and motives of curiomty, perhaps, more than anything cleo, drew together a largo sudience sagor to seoliow such men would look under misfortuse. Tho oynosura of all eyos was, of coureo, A. ©, UCYING, Ho eat at ons of the lawyers' tablos boside ife counsel, Col. Edmund Jueseon, and was drossod in a scrupulously clean suit of plain black broad- cloth, 1liis general demesnor was that of n thoroughly good-patured man upon whom a cloud was reating, Lut who was confident of dis- polling all tho baze aud mist, snd of finally standing forth fu the clear light of day, his zoputation unobscured. Buch-was his outward appoarance. Ills fomost thoughts may have beon of a sadly conflicting nature, but to the outer view ho maiutained Lis usunl mpponrance of Liearty good-uature sud easy coutent, Now and then ho would loan over and joiu in the conver- eation golng on betweeu Col.

On the other ride of Col. Jucssen sat Mr. Qeorgo C. Campboll, tho attornoy for Alr, Kehm, Tho latter was not o prompt in "bls spuesrauce in conrt aa wau Mr. Hesing, but he camo in a {aw wmnntey after court Lisd opened aud took his meat next to Mr. Campboll, whero he maintained, during the subsequent proceeditifd, an BPPEALs auce uf the most blank and stolid inditerence.

Thoy were usually polite and affablo, and sacized prepared for business.
