Foreman Miliard said:
"One man has as much right to his

1t is believed from this that there

The dominant faction evidently eX-
pected acquittal. There was at least
one juror who held out against this.
The scene after the announcement
was in no wise exciting. Some who
started to clap their hands were stop
