We hope to see all the mothers there. 6:80 p. m.--The' Epworth Laagtw Crowds at Court X The corridor outside the courtroom was jammed with waiting men and women long before the doors were opened at 9:45 a. m. Hoover appeared between two deputy sheriffs shortly before 10 a. m. He was well-groomed and wore a natty new suit of dark gray. His face was rather drawn as the result of a sleepless night, and he had a look in his eyes like that of a cornered animal. During a short wait for the arrival of Dist. Atty. Eugene Wengert, he sat gazing fixedly at Judge Reid, frequently wetting his lips with his tongue and occasionally nodding at the whispered remarks of encouragement from his counsel. Irving T. Touhey, attorney for the defense, had entered a motion for § new trial before the court recessed Friday night. Roland Steinle and Raymond J. Cannon, counsel for the defense, renewed the motion Saturday morning, contending that the court had erred, first, in admitting the tesdmusy of. the drug store clerk who told of remarks concerning women made by Hoover the night before the murder; second, in admitting Mrs. Bosshard's letter and the Christmas gift she had prepared for her husband, both of which, it was argued, had no bearing on the guilt or innocence of the defendant and were introduced for.the sole purpose of prejudicing the jury; third, in not acquitting certain medical testimony; and, fourth, in his instructions concerning circumstantial evidence. Judge Maintains Stand The judge discussed these points briefly, remarking that all had been brought up before and decided by him and that he was still of the same opinion. "The lustful nature of the defendant," he said, "is better shown by his conviction of adultery than by any testimony concerning remarks*^he has made. "The motion is overrulled." The judge ordered that Hoover be brought before him. „ ' *Have you anything to say?" he asked. "I have not, no sir," replied Hoover. / Then the judge denounced the crime and the prisoner's attitude and passed sentence. The verdict of the jury of six men and six women was returned at 5:1? p. m., just 1 hour and 32 minutes from the time it retired to the jury room a$ 3:45 p. m. Only One Ballot - t "We took only one ballot," said Mrs. Elsa Bartels, 1099 Eighth-st, "but we didn't take it right away after we went into the jury room. "We considered everything carefully. We sent out for some of the exhibits in the case and we looked over j his clothes and Mrs. Bosshard's clothes. We found what we expected te&find --the bloodspots on his clothes, not very big, but there. "Then we talked the matter over. No. one seemed to have $he least doubt that he was guilty, from what they said during the discussion. At last, we took a ballot and everyone voted that he was guilty, so we didn't have to take any more ballots." Other Jurymen Concur Herman Gerlach, William Schneppmueller, and Herbert Johnson, who were in court to hear Hooyer sentenced, concurred in what Mrs. Bartels said. "Wf,, had no difficulty in reaching our verdict," said* Mr. Gerlach. "One strong point we considered was the brazen effontery of the defendant." Yes, and his preposterous story," added Mr. Schneppmueller. The other members of the jury were Mrs. C. Gerbeck, Mrs. Mollie King, Gladys Spindler, Hattie C. Mehring, Elsie Schraeder, Fred Simon, Gilbert C. Bleck, and the foreman, Fred Kas ten. Royal H. Bosshard, husband of the slain'woman, brushed past Hoover, after the jury's verdict had been read, and shook each juror by the hand. He complimented them on their verdict and declared he was sure they had done justice. Mr. Bosshard Satisfied "There is no'doubt in my mind that Hoover is guilty," said Mr. Bosshard later, when interviewed. "The jury could do nothing else on the evidence. I am satisfied. Justice has been done. "I was sure from the beginning, the djur I learned of--of the crime, that tms man was guilty. I hesitated t^> say that because I felt there might be something. about it which I didn't know and that might make a difference. Nothing was brought out in court to change my opinion. "I am sorry for Hoover's father and mother and his wife and babies. They are innocent sufferers." Will Live in City Mr. Bosshard is living at the Stratford Arms hotel. He has no intention of leaving Milwaukee, he said, until ordered elsewhere by his employers, the Travelers' Insurance Co. Neither the defendant's wife nor his mother was in court when he was sentenced. His father, C. G. Hoover, dentist, 298 Kensington-blvd, ajid his brother, Kenneth, chemist, of Buffalo, N. Y., sat well back in the courtroom with the Rev. Charles H. Hutchinson, dean of All 'Saints cathedral. Dean Hutchinson sat talking quietly to the prisoner a few minutes before the judge took the bench* The elder Mr. ftoover and the brother, Kenneth, refused to discuss the trial or the verdict. Sheriff Charles Reichenback said Saturday Hoover would not be taken to. Waupun until Monday. The delay FOR RENT---Three rooms and garage L. N.
