could the jury consider the question
of character of the defendant This
verdict was set aside and all former
decisions of the court to this effect
was overruled by the higher court In
suring Daniels a re-hearing on the
charges preferred against him by Viola
Yeatman. The new trial will be
brought at the next term Of court by
Josiah Marvil. his counsel.
