But no! He is still presumed in the eyes of the law, and theoretically in the eyes of his fellows, to be as innocent as a babe unborn.

And now the grand jury take up and sift the evidence that has already been gone over by the police judge.

They, too, call witnesses and take additional testimony.
They likewise are convinced of Robinson's guilt and straightway hand down an indictment accusing him of the crime.

A bench warrant issues.
The defendant is run to earth and ignominiously haled to court.

But he is still presumed to be innocent! Does not the law say so?
And is not this a "government of laws"?
Finally, the district attorney, who is not looking for any more work than is absolutely necessary, investigates the case, decides that it must be tried and begins to prepare it for trial.
As the facts develop themselves Robinson's guilt becomes more and more clear.
