purchase of vault for the county. and
for the safe-keeping OF the county records

contention wss that United States sena-
tors ought not TO be unseated unless the
exclusion was plainly right. 1T is bet
ter that one hundred guilty men should
escape punishment than that one innocent
man should be punished" so in cases

Senate, those reasons ought to be held in
SUFFICIENT to Justify the unseating OF the
chosen. representatives Of sovereign
State. Nobody is willing to hang a man
upon the verdict Of seven men out OF the
twelve who compose the Jury.
