NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT
Verdict Brought In by Jury Certainly
Was Not FIattering to the
Accused.

A Wheeling CIV Va.) lawyer says
that he has heard many queer YER
diets in his time, but the Quaintest OF
these was that brought in not long
ago by jury of n1ountaineers in a
sparsely settled part of that state.
This was the first case for the ma
jority of the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over it In
the bare little room at the rear Of the
court room. AT last they struggled
back to their places, and the foreman,
a lean, gaunt fellow, with superla'
lively solemn expression, voiced the
general opinion:
The jury don't think that he done
it, for we allow he want there, but
we think he would have done 1t Ell
he'd had the chanst. "-Harper's Mag
