IN 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 Iván Yegoróvitch Shebek's private room, and the conversation turned on the famous Krasovsky suit. Feódor Vasilyévitch talked himself into a passion in pointing out the men's innocence; Iván Yegoróvitch maintained his side; but Piotr Ivánovitch, 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, 66 "You don't say so!" so Iván Ilyitch is dead!" "Here! read for yourself," said he to Feódor Vasilyévitch, handing him the paper, which had not yet lost its odor of freshness. Heavy black lines enclosed these printed words: "Praskovia Feódorovna Golovina, with heartfelt sorrow, announces to relatives and friends the death of her beloved husband, Iván Ilyitch Golovin, member of the Court of Appeal,1 who departed this life on the 1 Sudyébnaya Paláta. |
