the evening and the judge had in
structed the jury and officials when to
appear for the next session, one man
arose and informed the court that his
religious scruples forbade him working
at jury or other service from sunset

have been perfectly willing to return
and sit over Sunday. His case was
quickly disposed of, the attorneys in
the case agreeing to let him off entirely
and irving the case with eleven jurors.
