The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-06-21

Oh S1O W uOlt.
There are substantially but two
questions in this Indictment: plots "a
conspiracy. On that YOU have a
right to say whether defendants. OF
any OF them, were concerned with
Reerdell in that conspiracy. If Won
decide there was conspiracy with him
you must say who was engaged in il.
put That Is not all. You must find at
least one overt act following. III YOU
ilnd conspiracy and one overt act, it is
your duty OF render the verdict as TO
the parties found guilty. You can
not say you found conspiracy and no
overt acts. or an overt act and no
conspiracy. A verdict of guilty must
be a general verdict. In that way a
verdict OF not guilty, of course, COW
ers the whole ground, and that is the
rule us to the whole or any number
of them.'
The foreman complained of the
nigh temperature of the jury room
and asked to be permitted to walk in
the city hall park, to which request
the court acceeded. He says that he
would treat the jury well at present,
but lntimating that resort might be
had to common law, deprivation of
| llght and food If a verdict were not
forthcoming.
The deputy marshal was instructed
to allow Juror Vernon to drink a lit
Tie but to prevent the circulation of a
whisky bottle among the jurors, and
the court took a recess until ii a. m.
tomorrow, with the understanding
that 1t would meet to receive the yer-
DICT II the jury should agree upon one
before that hour.
Dorsey in the Thanking Business.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-S. w. Dor
sey was serenaded late this evening
ut his residence by the colored Re-
publican club of this city. He made
brief speech in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the courtesy, in which hessfd. 81
thank you for the heartfsft symnatby
you hTvt--l0Wn IN /6stlling here this
evening, and l thank YOU
not only for myself but
for all the defendants. | thank YOU
not only for the defendants and their
families; / thank you for the courage
You have shown in presence of all the
dishonor that the government has
tried toput on me in plaStering graves
OF mothers and cradles of babes with
lnfamy. You are brave enough, you
are strong enough to raise up your
voice and your right hand against
this attempted injustice. | thank
you for the courage that
you have shown; l thank you
for the pluck, manlike that Won
can show, looking in the face of pow
er. But over and above all that, this .
verdict has told story in whose
humanity
possibly not this year. or next, but the
ed to as Macauly pointed TO the
trial of Warren Hastings.
The trembling wires that bore the
message of acquittal to Berlin, Mos
COW and Dublin told the poor, the
lowly and the hopeless that there
were yet twelve men who could be
found who would deal justly by them.
There was not a government large
enough; there was not public treas
ury fruitful enough; there was not
leads of gold thick enough, and there
was not executive power great
enough to seduce the Judgment OF
twelve honest men, N .Arsa,t. care
about myself. 1t is matter of hrrfF~
consequence who is convicted or
who is not 1t is matter
Of great consequence whether
there is any government powerful
enough, or whether there is any
treasury full enough to bow down a
citizen however humble. This trial
and this verdict has placed upon the
books of justice Il splendid record of
the manhood of men and jurv
made up of Democrats and Republi-
cans, colored men and white men,
Protestants, Catholics and Atheists,
all agreed that the men charged were
not guilty. So it turns out that in
the District of Colombia where
the cloud of power casts
its shadow over every individual.
twelve men could be found who
would not bend the pregnant hinges
OF the knee that thrift might follow
fawning. A halo of glory and truth
will hang about them as long as they
live, and it will decorate every
thatched cottage that has been built.
or will he built, in the next thousand
years. Good bye. | thank you"
Two cases Of rupture of the drum
of the ear, caused by diving have
come under treatment at one of the
Philadelphia hospitals. The explana-
tion of these cases is that the water,
forcibly impinging upon the column
of air in the external auditory meatus,
suddenly increases its pressure upon
the membrane, while the normal
pressure upon the inside remains un-
changed; the Eustachian tube per-
mits the air to escape from the
middle, and thus there is no
resistance given to the internal
column of air, and, the internal force
of resistance being suddenly exceed
ed by the external impinging force,
rupture ensues. To prevent, when
diving, the pressure upon the men,
brance from without should be COM
pensated by an equal resisting pres
sure from within; that is, a full in
spiration should be taken prior to
diving, the mouth being kept shut,
and, to prevent the escape of air by
the nose, the posterior mares to be
closed by elevating the soft palate.
