Sir Atholl then reviewed the evidence given in all its details ana reminded the jury that in re- turning a verdict in either way they must be unanimous. If there was any doubt at all that beneft of the doubt must be given to the defendants. *****

As the prisoner was being led away he held on to the dock rails and pathetically pleaded that he was innocent of the charge and had been falsely accused. He challenged the widow to take an oath with him.
