The True Northerner was in error
last week m stating that the jury in
the Dalton Carpp trial stood ten
for acquittal and two for conviction
throughout the many hours of their
deliberation. We are informed by one
of the jurors on the case that the
vote varied considerably during the
twenty-eigh ballots taken in ar
effort to agree. That at one time
the jury stood seven for conviction
and five for acquittal. Not until
Monday morning, the last day Of
their deliberation did the jury stant
ten to two, as stated last week.
