In Pickens Superior Court last week, a
jury had been out some time trying to
agree on verdict in an arson case. In
order to get little exercise they were per-
mitted to walk up and down the street in
charge of an officer. During this exercise,
an old Baptist preacher slipped up near
the jurymen and in low voice whispered ::
Stick to him boys, stick to him; you know
am your preacher, and you must do as
tell you" The jary on returning to the
court room informed Judge. Gober how
they had been approached. Judge Gober
had the old preacher summoned before
him, and sentenced him to Jail and to pay
fine of 5000.
