ESCAPED FINE:
As Only Four of the Coin
Tossing Jury Could Be
Found Judge Higgins
Inflicted Rebuke
Only.

Allan Terwilliger, Bernard ]. King,
Philip Wolf and Emilio Peterson, four of
the juryinen who decided on d verdict of
guilty by tossing Il coin in the case of
Peter Eckhoff who was acquitted by an
other jury yesterday on 4 charge pre-
ferred by Annie Coblack,o Morris street,
We're subjected to a scathing denuneiation
by Police Justice Higgins in the First
Criminal Court this morning. They were
the only four members of the coin toss
ing jury who could be found. and they
were lucky in getting off with denunci-
alton, severe as it was, instead of heavy
fine or imprisonment Justice Higgins
told them when they We're arraigned that
it was his intention to infct such pen
atty had the entire jury appeared, but ne
said it was hardly fair that one third of
the jury should be punished and the other
two-thirds be allowed to escape. The JUS
tice said that he would see that no mem
ber of that jury should ever render jury
service in that court while be was on the
bench; that they had not only violated
their oath, but had by such practice in
a measure brought the court into disrep-
ute. He said that they ought to have
had intelligence enough to carry out their
oaths.
II very much regret that all the jury
men in the case are not present" said
the Justice. 1T appears to be impossible
to get them all here, for some reason un-
known to the Court. Several of the
missing jurymen were frequenters of this
Court, but now, when wanted, they cam
not be found. 1t is beyond the compre-
hension of the Court how men can take
a solemn oath to render a verdict accord
ing sto evidence and then deliberately
violate their oaths and do injustice to a
defendant and make a mockery of the
whole proceedings, to say nothing of
bringing the Court into disrepute."
