There's a Joy for every sorrow.
There's cure for every pain.
There's sweet for every bitter.
And for every loss gain.
There is light beyond the darkness,
There Is hope beyond the grave,
II we only Will remember
That Lord Jesus came 10 save.
IT'S he sun that throws the shadow,
lis tn cloud that gives the rain,
But The sun and weeping raindrops
Bring US fields of golden grain.
When We reach that distant river,
We shall safely cross the wave.
If we only VIII remember
That Lord Jesus came TO save.

cidental. but respondent, at this point, be-
pan To realize that he had made mistake
in mentioning the matter to Mr.. Lotus,
and did ask him if he was interested IN the
case as stated in Mr.. LOTUS affidavit, out
in doing so his intention was to drop the
conversation all together.
Respondent further admits to Your
Honor that in answer to Mr.. Lotus ques-
ton as to what the verdict would De- ne
did say. joeularly, six and 1ourtn Genus,
but he did not say which side OF the case
should have the verdict; nor did he say
ANYTHING that could be construed by Mr..
LOTUS into the language be puts into re-
spondent's mouth, viz: Adding the doctors
bill to the 614c verdict, which ne 1ocuIarly
mentioned.
correspondent further admits that after
he had gone further in conversing about
the case, than he should have done, and al
ter Superintendent Lotus admitted that
he was interested in the case, respondent
did say to him that the case was dollars
and cents with him, but respondent ols-
tinctly said that he (respondent), was not
concerned as to which way the YER
dict would go, that he would
get nothing out of it, and
furthermore that he wanted nothing out OF
il. not even a ride on the cars. Superin-
tendent Lotus language, on this point, is
very plain. He says in his atndavlt: 1
(respondent) don't want nothing. l don't
even want a ride Respondent had no
thought of soliciting bride, directly or
Indirectly. and he insists that the language
attributed to him by Superintendent Lof-
tus cannot properly or justly be construed
TO mean that your respondent was seeking
bride.
am view Of the facts stated, your re-
spondent prays Your Honor to dismiss the
charges of contempt and seeking bride,
made against him oy the Superintendent
of the Wheeling Railway Company, and
he will ever pray, etc.
The reading of the answer having
been concluded, Mr.. Atkinson addressed
the Court, but before he began be asked
that Mr.. Golf be sent out OF the room In
charge of a deputy sheriff. This Mr..
Golf refused to do, and stood near the
Clerks desk while Mr.. Atkinson made
brief plea, in the course OF which he
suggested that Mr.. Golf was at times
mentally irresponsible.
Judge Campbell then reviewed the
facts In the case, pointing out that the
evident purpose OF the juror was to
show that he was open to CORRUPTION,
and that, too, within an hour after
the Court had cautioned the jurors.
No other inference was TO be
drawn from the action OF the
Juror. Before passing sentence, the
Court referred to the fact that such cases
were very rare. and said it was fortu-
nate and q good thing that was the
case.
Golf did not seem to care particularly
about the punishment given him, al
though he listened closely to all that
was said, both by his counsel and the
Court.
