Foreman Millard said: Zone man has
as much right to his opinion as another,
and he may stick to it,
1t was believed from this there was one
man between the verdict of guilty or
not guilty, and it was conceded that only
one juror was then for concviction, and it

The crime with which the men are
charged by confession of a third man,

approached stealthily and that of the
Registers shot the men through a win
