"Some years ago while I was resid-

William H. Afford, 81 vas called to
Hanford to defend a petty offender in a
Justices court. Tie defendant had de-
manded a jury trial, and we put in half
a day trying to get a jury, only to ind
out at the end of that time that we
had one lone juror in the jury box.
"'Well, I'm willing to try the case
with n juror said the attorney for
the prosecution.

"And we proceeded with the trial.
The arguments were howlingly funny,
for the reason that the attorney for the
prosecution persisted in addressing the
lone Juror as gentlemen of the jury
and I succeeded in swelling the jury
with a feeling of pride and satisfaction
by some timely comment on the self
evident honesty, intelligence and integ'
rity Of the body. l really thought l

constable led him out to the jury room,

turned with the announcement that no

"'What!' Numbered the Justice OF

and reach a verdict
"The jury was out twenty minutes

About the latter part of July my whole
