They were charged with having caused the
death of Mr.. Duncan by locking him up in
bare cell, on a cold wintry night, with wet
clothes and without the least protection from
the freezing north wind, the grated window of
his cell being open. The trial occupied almost
the entire day, the Attorney General and Dis
