By ancient ritual the Cardinals offered Pius XI loaves of bread, kegs of wine and water, cages of doves, pigeons, nightingales and other birds. The Holy Father, 76, appeared pale towards the end, but not otherwise affected by muggy heat and four and one-half hours of ceremonial during which many people fainted. At one point a madman jumped on a chair, began haranguing the crowd in a loud voice, was removed by the police...

At the other side was a third table where rigidly upright sat Defendant Louderback, flanked by Attorneys James M. Hanley and Walter H. Linforth. Judge Louderback's hands were folded over his paunch and his pale drawn face, with its puffy, unblinking eyes, was a mask of haughty indifference. Senators, exalted from their role of legislators to that of judges in a court from which there is no appeal, listened hour after hour to the flow of evidence, but could make no speeches. Now & then...
