But
the
eyes
of
the
auditory
are
no
longer
fixed
upon
him
.
They
know
that
his
tale
is
completed
;
or
,
if
not
so
,
they
need
no
further
testimony
to
guide
their
conclusions
.
They
do
not
even
stay
for
the
deliberations
of
the
Court
,
now
proceeding
to
sift
the
evidence
.
Its
action
is
too
slow
for
men
who
have
seen
justice
so
near
being
duped
--
themselves
along
with
it
;
and
--
swayed
by
a
bitter
reactionary
spirit
--
revenge
,
proceeding
from
self-reproach
--
they
call
loudly
for
a
change
in
the
programme
.
The
Court
is
assailed
with
the
cries
:
--
"
Let
the
Irishman
go
--
he
is
innocent
!
We
do
n't
want
any
farther
evidence
.
We
're
convinced
of
it
.
Let
him
go
free
!
"
Such
is
the
talk
that
proceeds
from
the
excited
spectators
.
It
is
followed
by
other
speeches
equally
earnest
:
--
"
Let
Cassius
Calhoun
be
arrested
,
and
put
upon
his
trial
!
It
's
he
that
's
done
the
deed
!
That
's
why
he
's
shown
so
bitter
against
the
other
!
If
he
's
innocent
,
he
'll
be
able
to
prove
it
.
He
shall
have
a
fair
trial
;
but
tried
he
shall
be
.
Come
,
judge
;
we
're
waiting
upon
you
!
Order
Mr
Calhoun
to
be
brought
before
the
Court
.
An
innocent
man
's
been
there
long
enough
.
Let
the
guilty
take
his
place
!
"
The
demand
,
at
first
made
by
some
half
dozen
voices
,
soon
becomes
a
clamour
,
universally
endorsed
by
the
assemblage
.
The
judge
dares
not
refuse
compliance
with
a
proposal
so
energetically
urged
:
and
,
despite
the
informality
,
Cassius
Calhoun
is
called
upon
to
come
before
the
Court
.
The
summons
of
the
crier
,
thrice
loudly
pronounced
,
receives
no
response
;
and
all
eyes
go
in
search
of
Calhoun
.
