The opening
i
(1884 - 1886.)
Ty the great hall of justice, while the proceedings in the Melvinsky suit were at a standstill, the members of the board and the prokuror held a re-union in Ivdn Yegordévitch Shebek’s private room, and the conversation turned on the famous Krasovsky suit. Fedédor Vasilyévitch talked himself into a passion in pointing out the men’s innocence; Ivan Yegorévitch maintained his side; but Piotr Ivanovitch, who had not entered into the discussion at first, took no part in it even now, and continued to fix his eyes on the copy of the Vyédomosti which had just been handed to him.
‘*Gentlemen!” said he, “ so Iv4n Ilyitch is dead!”’
‘¢’ You don’t say so!”’
