room, the jurors considered the matter
and in about one-half an hour returned
and stated to His Honor that they did
not wish to be excused inasmuch as
most of them lived long distances from

planned that he ina sined he was in Ho-
nolulu and that he was doing them a
great favor He rescinded his previous
| order and told them to report every
morning.

ment in a cattle-stealing case in which
