A NICE JUROR.

family. although he did not believe the
man was guilty. In passing on the affidavit

an affidavit impeaching his own verdict and
commit perjury by taking an oath to decide
a case according to the evidence is utterly
unworthy Of belief. The motion in arrest
of Judgment will-be heard Tuesday.
