the attack ON Juror Field
Mullett did not call any witnesses. Address
ing the jury in his own defense, he repeated
that his case had been prejudiced by leading
articles in newspapers and by speeches of
ministers and ex-ministers. He was proceed
ing to mention the name of Sir William Har-
court the home seceetary, when the judge in
terposed. Mullett then refused to continue
his address. The judge then charged the
