Juror Burch was asked by Mr.. How
ard II he had eyer told any ono what he
would do II no were on the jury. He
said no had not. Juror Lcwedag, in an-
swer to Colonel Arnett, denied that he
had ever told his father, Bernard Lowe-
dag, that if ho were on tho jury he
would hang DR.. Garrison or give him
the worst OF it. A subpoena was issued
for Mr.. Bernard ewcdaY and in about
twenty minutes the old gentleman ap-
peared. Asked by Colonel Arnett ii
his son Henry had ever said anything
about the. Garrison case, he replied
that he had, and had said DR.. Garrison
ought to be hung. 10 Captain Dovener
he said that Nilsson at that time did not
say II hegot on the jury he would hang
DR.. Garrison; nothing was said about
the jury. Juror Lewodag said that his
father surely must be mistaken /; he did
not remember ever having made such n
remark. His father was very old and
sometimes Eighty. The juror further
testified that no had said
IF IT WAS coin BLooDED MURDER,
the man who did it ought to be hung:
he was still Of that opinion, but he
could go into the jury box and give the
prisoner a fair and impartial trial. The
defense challenged the juror, and the
court refusing to accept it, an exception
was made. Old Mr.. Lewedag having
said that his son had made use Of the
expression in the presence of himself
and other members Of the family, Col.
Arnett asked that subpnnas be issued
for them, but afterwards withdrew the
request.
The state struck off two iurymen from
the panel and Col. Arnett and Senator
sommerville retired, to one side with
