THE SWIFT TRIAL,

Our limited space last week forbade any
extended remarks in regard to this case.
II is not conceivable how the jury, from
the evidence, could have brought in a ver-
dict Of less punishment; and here we may
say That more intelligent looking jury We
never saw. They are all men of in,egri-
" aud charactcs, and all temperance men.
We state this because, rs an yone having a
knowledge Of courts oil justice knows,
such happy circumstance IS ono rarely
found. They ar divided politically, ir we
mistake not, into eight Republicans and
. four Democrats. They were oft ten hours,
but their vcrlict was made up in half the
timc,-,hc remaining time being a delay
owing to a misunderstanding in relation to
the law Of ,nanslaughlcr.
The defense was managed by Messrs.
Hubbard and Fairfield with admirable tact
and skill, aud the prisoner need feel well
assured that her counsel dill nll for hcr
that counsel could bc expected to do. The
argument by T.. %. Hubbard, Esq., senior
counsel in the defense, exceeded the cx.
peciaiion Of his friends, aud marks him rs
promising criminal lawyer worthy Of no
mean iocman. Ills effort IN behalf Of his
client did him great crcdt. and will be
read with much interest.
The argument by Hon. &. W. Goddard,
acting Atty. Gen. in this case, was what
we hal right to expect from his previous
efforts, AMI was clear. concise and brilliant.
Roth Of these able arguments were phono-
graphically reported for the UsioS Il JouR-
