it smells or not.
Mr.. Highton-I suppose it is unnecessary
for any to read this except the jury. don't
suppose it is necessary for any one else to
read it. -
Mr.. Campbell-We are perfectly willing
that that paper should go into the jury, but
we claim the right to comment upon the
pamphlet or to read any portion of it.
Mr. Highton-Yery well, then. Let the
jury read this now.
Mr.. Campbell = They can't read that
pamphlet until after they retire.
Mr.. Highton-I don't want any part of
this pamphlet to get into the records OF this
case. 1t would be manifest injustice.
The Court-They can't have 1t until they
go to the jury-room.
Mr. Highton-Then l will take charge OF
it until the jury retire.
Mr.. Campbell-No, sir. 1t is in the pos
session of the Court.

attack was made it would result in his death

taliate. He would not keep quiet. He
would retaliate, and then / had reason to be,
lieve that there would be serious trouble.
Taking all this into consideration, was very
