UMrED SrArgs vs.. JOHN DAFT is well
known that 10 this case, in this city, the defend
ant was, on Saturday last, convicted Of the mur-
der Of his wife, when his counsel made motion
for new trial. In support OF this motion, they
allege the following reasons, which were filed by
Mr. MoeoAH, on "Wednesday afternoon, in the
CLERKS Office, viz
Fint- That N. l.. Adams, one OF the jurors
in said case, did, before he was sworn as such,
form and express ali opinion; he having said,
With "A oath, to Richard Brooks, that 4 man
who would shoot his wife, or had shot HIS wife,
a. John Day had done. should be hung without
Judge or jury" or words to that effect This
knowledge has come to the knowledge Of de-
fendant'x counsel since said trial
Second That the wife aud daughter of Mr..
WardelI, one Of the jurors in said case, did visit
him. the said Wardell, in private, alter the jury
had retired to make up their verdict and upon
one or more occasions. during said visits, did
talk with the said Wnrdel concerning the said
trial
Third.--Thnt the said Wardell did communi-
cate part or the whole Of these conversations
to Mr. Mann, one of the jurors in said case, tell
ing him that the people had said to his WAR
dell's) wife and daughter, that he (Mann) had
perjursd himself on this case, and urged this on
the ssid Mann IA reason why he should con-
vict the defendant.
Fourth--That ne wsplpers containing remarks
concerning said case were freely obtained by the
jury after they had retired TO make up their YER
dict; and that one or more of said papers con-
tanned what was believed to be reflections on
him for his answering mot guilty when the
jury were polled in court; and the said refec
lions were pressed upon his attention by some
Of said jury, as reasons why he should convict
the defendant.
Fifth-That the knowledge that there was
hereditary weakness of mind, or insanity, 10
said Days ancestors, has come to the knowledge
of the defendants counsel since the trial, this
being new ard important evidence
