WHY THE VERDICT WAS GIVEN.
The Jurors were In hurry to get away, but enough
of them caught on the wing to give the history
of their ballotlrg Juror McKenna said
When took the FIRST ballot there eleven votes for
the psnun asd for the defendant rhe was said to
ballot were UNANIMOUS
for the plaintiff Then came the question Of the amount o
damages We bsloted times that The highest
put down $4,000 On the third ballot
tile amounts and agreed on $4,000.
Juror Grcenbaum declared after good deal of per
suason that of the jurors wanted 10 give gh
a. 100000. bnt when It came to casting ballots thoy
did not make their estimates on his and rs as high
We not one hour I'm arriving at or dccision,'
said he, although We were out one hour. We arrived
at the verdict within half an hour after going out
II seems that the jury had thought OF presenting
"A
saving that there was nothing IN the evidence to re
feet in any way on Miss Campbells character con
duct. They refrsined from this finally because 1t
would be unusual course
John +. Parsons had nothing to say. Mr. Tilney

Twas only long rendering and then with great reuc
tancs determined TO bring the SUIT But my position
among my friends and relatives well As nv good name tie

male.
When asked as to whether She would remain In
this city. Miss Campbell replied that she was I'M
certain II would depend great deal what was done

retro from the gaze OF The public. II has been most
