Objectionable. He was noisy, ungentle-
manly. insulting and offensive. He
threatened to fix and get square with
some OF the jurors. and he threatened
to injure the business Of one Of the
jurors. His language was vulgar and
disgusting. He was in truth bully.
And during the deliberations he produced
a revolver, took It from its holster.

ridges, exhibited the revolver and then
reloaded 1t. Driscoll had the right to
carry a revolver, as he was a so-called
railroad policeman. But. of course. he
had no right to take the revolver into

the other Jurors was in itself a threat
even though the other jurors may not
have so regarded it, -
Referring to Cochran. Justice Cropsey
said:
Cochran violated his oath to decide
the case according to the evidence by
voting not guilty although he admitted
he was satisfied Plant was guilty. He
said. however. that he felt sorry for
him. and 20 convict him would spoil his
future career"
