It is debatable whether or not Raulston allowed his personal support for the prosecution to affect his decisions during the course of the trial. He was said to have liked the attention that came with being a part of the trial, especially having his photograph taken. He was very religious and quoted scripture during the trial, as well as beginning each day with a prayer. Raulston also attended sermons prior to the hearing in order to witness William Jennings Bryan's speeches. The judge would always make sure that he and his family had first-row seats.
