Eleven to One Against the Judge.

who is noted for his fondness for con-
veying to jurors in his charges to them
his own opinions with regard to
the merits of the case. In one
case he had done so with much
plainness, but to his amusement
the jury remained out for hours with
out coming to an agreement The
Judge inquired of the officer what was
the matter, and learned from him that
one juror was holding out against the
other eleven. He sent for the jury at
once. and stating to the jurors that he
had plainly intimated how the case
ought TO be decided, said he understood
the-one juror was standing out against
the other eleven. He proceeded to re-
buke the juror sharply. The obstinate
juror was o nervous little man, and ~
soon Is the Judge was done he arose
and said: Your honor, may I say .
word?" "Yes. sir" said the indignant
judge. what have you to say?"
"Well, what wanted to say ID. am
