Tim Casey, a juror, rose suddenly from his seat and hastened to the door

of the courtroom. He was prevented, however, from leaving the room, and

was sternly questioned by the judge.

finished his talking me mind was clear all through, but whin Mr. Evans

begins his talkin' I becomes all confused an' says I to meself, Taith,

I'd better lave at once, an' shtay away until he is done,' because, your

honor, to tell the truth, I didn't like the way the argument was going."
