 Dear Sir-Please allow me portion of your valuable space. in order that 1 may exOnerate or place myself aright before the people in regard to tho ac- ton of Judge Green in sxcusing me from the jury when the case of the State vs Frank Robinson was brought up.
 In the first place, will say, without any fear of contradiction, that when tke question was asked if l hHd any conscientious scrup!es in regard to rem penalty is death, provided the law and the evidence justified it, I answered. iu case 1 was thoroughly convinced the party was guilty. would have none. but that would have to take into con- ssderation the character of the witness. his reputation for veracity, bis general appearance and manner of testifyiDg. The judge then stated that when man was tcstifyiug the law presumed he was telling the truth. I answered, but all men don't do it. To make . gener al application of the matter, he then asked. if I would let this run into other matters. I answered to some extent I would, whereupon he excused mo from the jury.
 Now the judge made an unqualified assertion that the law presumed, when . man is testifying he is tellioR the truth, which according to the cOnstruc- ton of the English language includes all men. If this be true, can neither Sccept not act upon the presumption 0f the law in all eases. However. would not question the testimony of . repu- table citizen, yet have known soeac isolated cases of testimony upon which l would not inf1ict punishment upon . person whom believed to be innocent, although warranted in 90 doing by the presumption of law. and if there can be no exception to this unqualified pre-. sumption rule. am not competent juror.
 This is a matter between me and my God, and if the law gets between me and Him. l will bc governed by the Higher Authority.
 believe Judge Green to be consci. ontious christian gentleman, but have no faith in his infAllibilitv, to which bs makes no pretentions. know that stand approved in the position l occupy in this matter, by the greet Jndge Q, Jsdges who cannot err. and will never ignore Hin laws in order to stand ap proved by the litti judge who is subject to err. Very Respectfully.
