Mr. ED1roR:-I your issue Of today under
the item of San Intelligent jury you make
an unjust and uncalled for reflection upon the
jury which sred the case of Ferguson Goodwin
The defendant at the flag raising or celebration
mentioned, fired rocket, and the question pro-
posed to the jury was to elicit an answer from
them whether this rocket hit the defendant, d.
rectly causing the injury, or whether it indirect
ly did SO, by igniting another rocket. The ques-
tion was not in the alternative, as the presiding
judge distinctly stated, and he positively in
structed them that if they found either fact
affirmatively true, in the inquiry, to answer
s'yes," if neither trae, answer no." The jury
on this case were intelligent and good men and
very good grammarians also.
