Having heard the evidence, the members of the court will now vote on the verdict.  This will be by secret written ballot.  The trial judge advocate will pass out the voting papers, and collect them.
This took less than one minute.  The prosecutor handed each of the five members a slip of note paper.  The members of the court all looked at the defendant before and after marking their votes.  The prosecutor then collected the ballots, and after shuffling them in his hand about as adroitly as a five-year-old with his Old Maid cards, handed them to the captain.  Wegener unfolded the ballots and set them on the table in front of him.  He made a note in his yellow pad before speaking?
