tifieat'es, , but, from the fact, that the
}UI hung Up t??i a while,
he was j?ure that some at least on
the jury fott that the defendant
should . have been convicted; that
whilst h?* was not attempting to j
01 it ietf.o the jury it was bound to
have, taken one of two views, either
the.s had to disbelieve the evidence
of the oirieors. of the law and be
lieve the testimony tif the defendan' ,
ahd that the jury must have go no
outside of the evidence, to arrive at
their verdict, and he left in duty
bound to give these good men, the
officers, the stamp and approval of
the court.
At the conclusion of Judge Heniy's
remarks Geo. W. Williams, one <?f the,
.iiiMu ; , uniM' and requested to be
allowed to make a statement and
Judge Henry refused his request,
stating that he could not say any
thing that transpired in the jury
room. Whereupon, Mr, Williams in
formed him that he would necessarily
have to refer to what transpired there
in making his statement, but that,. ;f
he was not allowed to make a state
ment, he wished to say that he would
render the same, verdict were ho to go
back into the jury iftom at that tune.
.judge Henry also stated that oiv
of the jurors on the panel that w.ei:
and a pi i nvnent t'itlzeu <?f this town
had come to him while the jury w;as
in their loom and stated that the de
fendant \\a.-; not well balanced an i
that he had replied tnat if found
guilty he w^uld take that jjito
sidbration and if tine would make 'hv
sentence o????".ibl?* but ?">??
fact was not betoie ihe jury and uv
had no i rght to lake that into con
sideration it' we did so.
The judge also added that he did
not intend to criticize the jury as the\
were sole judge.s of the facts.
AVe do not undertake to say what
his hoiioi intentions as to criticizing
the jury were, but, 'if his language
had any meaning at all. it could he
construed only as a severe criticism
of the jury which tried this case. If
tlie jury, as his honor stated, were
the sole judges of the facts, wc-'would
like to in?|uiie what authority the
judge had for criticizing and holding
up to scorn the jury who did what
?the law says they must do, to wi':
pass upon tin* facts in the case. As
we understand the law the judge,
under the constitution, is prohibited
from charging on the facts or ever
intimating his opinion a- to t ?}..*?
weight to be given tin- t< 'inionv
any wit ih-.-s.

If Judge Henry had wished to be
fair and ju?t, ho could have issued
it rule requiring the jury to show
cause why ii should not be discharged
as either corrupt or incompetent, and
at least given i? the opportunity to
vindicate it* action, but his honor re
fused to permit even a statement
from a juror, and- he admitted in his
remarks that at least the father of
tile defendant Mated that he was tak
ing no part ill the manufacture o(
whiskey. If, as the judge stated,, tin?
jury was the sole judge of the fact-tit
they had a right to accept. the state
ment of any wi\ju*s^ and to reject thu
statement of a dozen other Witnesses
Our attention has been tailed by
a member of the bar "to the recent
cane of the State vs. Harrison, which
went up from Greenville ' on u)?peal
from Judge Memminger, In Which
Justice F raser rendered the follow
ing Opinion which is pertinent to
this, matter.
The solicitor, in a very able argu
ment in this court, said:
"From the state's point of view,
the conviction of Tom Harrrson was
a tiriumph of decency in Cireenvill-'
county, and the reversal of his case
would be nothing short of a calamity
for law enforcement in the com
munity."
?lust ice Frames said: "There is m
greater-, calamity - till, that may oc
?i:iir, . and that is for the courts to
sanction a conviction of the worst
hi men by the destruction of tho.con
? ' ut 'onal protection granted t:?
? . y ci; :;'cn tn th > trial, by jury/'
Ills honor t In* jncsiding judge, in
chaining the jury mm to the defeat
of i ust ice by the frequent mistrials
siiat were occurring over the state,
used this language:
"Now, if there is somebody on thai
jury that is absolutely iixed and made
up his mind, and determined that he
will .not decide this case, then 1 ami
going to find -it-out; it will be known,
and there will be some notice taken
of it. 1 am addressing you. gentle
men, as fair and honorable of this
kind,, and I have had no occasion to
believe at any time -when 1 have held
court here that a man went on the
jury and behaved otherwise. 1 am
satisfied you will give it a fair and
deliberate and careful consideration,
and not stay there and hold out, just
bent on a conviction of some idea that
you have got to serve one side or the
other. A conviction is something that
arises out ??f the testimony in the
< a ?
Proceeding .Justice Fraser said:
"It i* true his- honor told the jury
that ho believed that they wore fair
and honorable, but he left that trtftt
?ter open. The charge Contained a
throat to invade the secrecy of the {
jury jfoom and punish the juror 61
jurors responsible for a mistrial. |
^fhe honesty of the juror or jurors
responsible for the mistrial depend ? -
not on their own estimate, but thai
of the court.. This was clearly des
tructive of the right to tjial by jury.
"Th? judgpn-nt of conviction is re
versed and a new trial ordered."
His honor, Judge Henry having
?stated that the jury evidently went
| out of the record to arrive at i* ->
conclusion, and - stated that one of
the jurors on the panel had discussed
with him the weak-mindedness of the
defendant on trial as stated above, it
seems to us from the case of the
State vs. Harvey that his honor was
clearly without his lights in dis
cussing this case with an outsider and
before a .verdict had been reached.
In the said Harvey case Chief Justice
Watts used this language:
"Judge . Hownmn did not under
stand the facts of the case and call
ed for information before passing;
sentence, as he had a l ight to do, j
but that information should have
been obtained in open court or in the i
i presence of the defendant or his j
' counsel.
j "Judge Hownmn was in. error in
j carrying the solicitor and llass. into:
his room, and discussing the case with
, them, in the absence of the defendant
i or' his couivselr *
"Where The liberty <<f a defendant ?;
1 is concerned and lie is to be sen- >
? tenced by the. judge, he has a right '
that everything appertaining to the;
case, in the way of evidence affecting
I the same open and above and public. ;
I as under the rules of court, when a
I party pleads guilty to an indictment,
i he can only introduce affidavits in
j mitigation, of sentence; for this rcn
j son alone th<> sentence of Judge Bow
| man should be set. aside."
1 It scorns to us absurd to hold that
j if the language of Judge Memminger
was error on the ground that it in-j
? vaded the secrecy of the jury room,
! that Judge Henry or any other judge
would have the right to criticize and
i brow-beat a jury without giving it
a right to defend itself. j
We have never known but two)
judges to be guilty of crit ici/.ing aj
. jury for i;> verdict.' We take oc- j
? vasion to say that we have no sym- t
; pathy whatever with the violation of i
: any law and especially have we no

sympathy, with the violation of the
prohibition law, hut while this is true,
we feel that we would be guilty of a
crime if we found any citizen guilty
contrary to our convictions .and
against what we conceived to be the
\yeight ttf the testimony.
Jurors who are empaneled to pa vs
upon either the personal or property
rights of a citizen ought to be free
from intimidation on the part of the
court or anyone else. If the judge
i.^ permitted to denounce a jury be
cause it does not render verdicts in
accord with his desire, we will n:> -
longer have jurors who are free and
inde pendent.
In the' future, it' the jury is ever
subjected to ridicule by a presiding
judge we~ trim they will demand that
they be ruled to show cause why they
should not be dismissed, which we
would have done in this instance had
it not taken place within ten or fif
teen minutes before we were reg
ularly dismissed for the term.
