It is interesting as an example of the modifications which independent opinions must- undergo before agreement on a verdict: The first three ballots stood two not guilty to ten guilty. The fourth and fifth stood one not guilty to eleven guilty; thus you will perceive that it was not until the sixth ballot that all concurred in his guilt.

The grave question of punishment now us', and was thus disposed of: The first and third stood three for hanging, the fourth and fifth dwindled down to two and one respectively, the unanimous concurrence in a sentence of imprisonment occurring only on the sixth and last ballot. The length of the term of imprisonment now presented its difficulties which may be best understood by the following statement: The ballots are given from the first to the For life, eight, for term of years, four 18, for life ten, for term of years, two voting 80, 80; life ten, term of years life ten, term of years life eleven, term of years, only one, 70; life eleven, term of years, 80; life eleven, term of years, 80; life eleven, term of years 80; life eleven, term ninth ballot all voted for imprisonment for life.
