Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1850-12-28

an anecdote Of earlytImes in West Tennessee
which we will attempt TO repeat even at the
risk of losing the graphic simplicity OF his
conversational narrative.
Some eighteen or twenty years since,
well.known resident Of Upton equity was
put OH his trial, charged with The murder of
his wife. As usual in such cases, popular
feeling was largely against him, AMI all The
eloquence and ingenuity of his counsel were
required 10 make any impression in his favor
might desire 10 be in the consciousness Of
sworn duty, could not but see, the waves of
popular prejudice surgiug in upon it.
The case was ably argued The counsel for
the defence made most vigorous and impas-
stoned appeals The case was submitted TO
the jury, and they retired to make up their
verdict. Time passed, and as the setting sun
warned all of the approaching night, the large
throng in attendance, the judge, COUNSEL SC,
retired all anxious, the accused not least 50, 10
learn The verdict of the jury, and some Won
dering that the jury hestated for one moment
TO bring in a verdict Of guilty. In the mean
lime the jury had come 10 a point beyond
which they could progress no further. The
appeals Of the counsel for the defence had not
been without their influence, and the jury
stood unchangeably six for conviction and six
for acquital. Something had to be done. In
