feet on the side OF the delendent to DIS

What would people have ! The effect OF
the evidence on the Jury's mind was
such as 10 produce conviction OF his gulI'.
Should they then pronounce Webs'er'Not

honest men they could not. The demand
made by some wrongheaded Northern
Newspapers for one sort OF testimony as

TO premium upon cool and deliberate
