1t was the continuous, rapid beat of

for what it was-the roar of the colo

Charlotte's face went white with ter

grim straight line as he dashed TO the

With one quick swing of his power

Getting n Verdict.

\ Texas correspondent tells Law
Notes" how an obstinate juryman was
circumvcnted by his fellow judges OF
the facts The offence charged was as
Sault with intent to murder. After the
jury had been out about two hours
they returned the following verdict:
We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of aggravated assault. and as
sess his punishment at SO fine. and
herewith pay the fine" On inquiry as
to the meaning of the last clause of the
verdict, il came out that eleven of the
jurors had agreed that the defendant
was not guilty. but the twelfth logged
~ hung out for conviction for aggra-
waited assault. and would not consent
to punishment less than a fine of So.
Finding 1t a hopeless task to bring
over the obstinate one to their way of
thinking. the eleven finally decided TO
agree with him. and 'chipped in
enough to pay the fine.
