A Jury Queered

ITIakPo Serions Iiartrpx. In hts motion tor a new trial in the gackett - Daneer case, Mr. A. J. Sawyer, makes some very serious chargts. Among the.se is an aüivadit by Mr. Davenport, tho court house janitor who says that the jury was in charge of Diputy M. G. Peterson and at certain honra were taken into the oourtroom; thut some of the jury reviewed the judge's charge to the jury that they had access to snme of the 4les; that the jury had eider; that several of the jury men went down to the eioset in the basement with Deputy feterson; that during the time of their going back and forth to said closet one had a conversation with Sheriff Brenner in Germán; that the said ueponent found the screen on the closet window cut and a whiskey bottle with but a trifle left in it, still standing on the window Bil!, and that the window was cioaed and secure before that time. The deponent goes on and says that in the court house corridors were a great many Dexter peopli', among them the defendant; that the keys to the court roña wüer; thi ju'v wn, w re in his pos8ession for about on hour or thereabouts, being turned over to him by Deputy Peterson, who, together with Sheriff llrcnner, went away, sayisg that they would be back soon, and that if the jury wanted anything he, DaTenport, should give it to them. He further says that during the time he had the keys the defendant, Dancer, wanted togo into the jury room, which was refused him. Whereupon he used profane language and talked so lont! that the jury could casily hear him. F. (x. Weissinger and Ernest Warner make affldavits corroborating the story of ianitor Davenpon, at least in some particulars. If these things are true , it is more than likely that a new trial will be grantec!.
