more.
The jury of four women and eight men had been absent 40 minutes considering their ver- dict.
"Guilty," said the foreman. "Have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?" the Clerk asked, in the formal challenge.
Paul pulled his left hand from his jacket pocket and held it high for the judge to see. Around his wrist and hand was entwined a Rosary of black beads, with 1 Crucifix,
"I mm not guilty, my lord," he said in Arm, clear tones,
Mr. Justice Asquith began to pro- nounce the first sentence of death since he has been a judge, and obyl- ously he felt the strain of it.
"You have had a fair Bald. His voice dropped and he hesitated...

RUBBER QUOTA
RAISED
MINCING LANE IN THE DARK AS TO REASON
STOCKS SHOULD STILL FALL 24,000 TONS
Commenting on the decision of the International Rubber Regulation Committee Increasing the export ul- lowance for the first quarter of next year to 50 per cent, of basic quotas, Symington and Wilson, London, "In their report write:-
One is of course in the dark as to the reasoning which led the Com- nittee to their decision. In view of the agitation which has been going on in America for an increase to GG per cent. it is to be presumed that the American manufacturers put for- ward high estimates of American consumpülon in the early months of next year.
On more than one occasion pro- vlously estimates have been put for ward on behalf of the manufacturers which have afterwards proved to be entirely illusory. One must-bedeve that the Committee have by now learnt to regard these estimates with a certain amount of scepticism and is therefore forced to the conclusion that on this occasion the Advisory Panel of Manufacturers have been able to show good reasons why their estimates are likely to prove correct.
