speculation, brought in a verdict of
guilty shortly after 10 o’clock Tues
day, and the court fixed punishment
at six years in the federal prison at
Atlanta, CJa.
When Chisolm was asked if he had
anything to say as to why sentence
should not be pronounced, he arose
and said that he regarded the verdict
a just one, that he was not crazy and
never had been insane, but he regret
ted the affair very much.
Sentence was then pronounced.
When the jury came in and the fore,
man read the word “Guilty,” Chisolm
listened without a change of counte
nance. He never so much as twich
e'd a muscle. His face was color
less as a marble slab, but this has
been his appearance throughout the
trial. It was- then In response to the
Inquiry of the court that he arose and
made his statement, which he con
cluded by pleading for the mercy of
the court. A death-13ke silence pre
vailed throughout the court room as

very painful though not serious wound
