of jurors, as they listen to the evidence, do
receive impressions more or less positive, but
they frequently are effaced as the cause pro-
crosses. Experience teaches that few per.
sons can keep their minds unbiased when
hearing strong one-sided statement.
No case has been found which would au-
thorise the court to set aside verdict for
such conduct on the part of a juror, but on
the contrary in % Ind. 1913, Harrison u.s. Price,
the court refused so 30 do, when it appeared
that during the time of hearing the evidence
juror while at dinner, asked stranger,
Chow he thought the case would CO., to
which the reply was, "That from outside
rumor the jury ought to find for defendant,
but from the appearance of the jury, he
thought it would find for plaintiff" to
which the juror made answer, eyes, by God,
l know it will" The court in refusing the
motion say "The juror could not help the
involuntary action of his own mind, but he

| trial was completed"
