egates to the National Democratic Couvcn

juryman was holding out agaiust eleven.
That he could not stand, and he ordered
the twelve men to he brought before him.

that tue verdict ought to be unanimous,
and the man who permitted his individual
opinion to weigh against the judgment of
eleven men of wisdom was unfit and dis
qualified ever again to act in the capacity
of juryman. At the end of this excited
harrangue a little squeaky voice came from
one ol the jury. He said: “Will your
Honor allow me !o say a ivoid ?" Permis¬
sion being given he added: “May it please
your Honor, I am the only man on yout¬
side.’'
“Yes Sir” said the witness, “Mr. So
