every chance for a conviction, 1t would
not surprise me to learn that the jury
was unable to agree. There are three
or four men on the jury who may not
be absolutely convinced.
You must remember that they will
be told to give the defendant the benefit
of every reasonable doubt, and juror
therefore when not absolutely certain
on any point will give the mayor the
advantage. That is the law.
The point upon which the case de-
