ons and jails. 1t is also your duty TO
keep secret all transactions OF the jury
room, and not make known any indict-
ments or other matters OF duty. Ii you
desire any further instructions at any
time, you may apply to the District At

ascertain the truth, and no fear or timid-
ity must actuate you in your decisions,

business will follow him, let him make it
known now

turbed right to belief, but when in an
overt act he breaks the laws of his coun-
try 1t becomes punishable crime. In the
discharge Of your duty nothing can harm
you in this world or the world to come.
