After a short pause Bywaters was brought from below and placed in the dock, He stepped firmly to the front of the dock, with his shoulders squared, glancing first at the jury and then at the Judge. Mrs, rhomp- son was in a pitiabdle state of colinpse and had to be almost carried into the dock by two wardresses, She crum pled into an apparently unconscious heap on a chair in the dock, When the Jury pronounced their verdict of gullty upon him, Bywaters didn’t flinch or give any other sign of emotion, but when the same ver @ict was given against Mrs. Thomp- & moan came from her lips as she sat in the dock, with head thrown back and eyes cioved. Bywaters turned toward Mrs. Thompson and replied in clear tones: “IT eay the verdict & wrong. Edith Thompson is nov guilty, | am no 4m no assassin.”* Mrs. Teompson, eight years older, had wo be lifted to her fet. At first ghe could not speak, then murmurect. “am not guilty, God, 1 am not gullty.” A whisper of sympathy ran through the court a she was carried away. Bywaters walked firmly down ‘the stairs. Mr. Justtes Shearman took two hours In summing up the evidence. By way of preface to Nts analysis of ‘the case he sald: “This charge ts an ordinary, com- mon charge aguinst a wife and an adulterer of murdering the wonmn husband.” He was antaxed, he sald when he treard t-suggested tirut mesar before tn tim htatory of crime har any ome been cli ab with muri when he or ste was uat the person’ who took and in inflicting the! biow.

The evidence showed that Mrs. Thompson met at 5.30 in the after- noon of the day on which Thompson was killed, and at 12.30 the husband was lying dead. Two minutes after the murder happened Mrs. Thompson was sbielding the man, and was not speaking the truth, It was perfectly clear that she was concealing things om was practising « series of decep- tons. “You will not convict her,’ said the Judge, “unless you are satisfied that he and she agreed to murder the man ‘Thompson; that she kn Bywaters was going to do it; that she directed ‘im to do it, and he was doing it by arrangement between the two of them.” Both prisoners had been described an of excellent character by thn'r >a0- Mrs. Thompwon. a bookkeepe ora city Hirt, was highly thought of The Judge in his charge bore heav-]hy her employers.
