An astonishingly number of seemingly
intelligent cltiaens had decided whether
the sallow-faced Dr. Meyer Was guilty
or not without ever having heard a
word of evldenc or ever connected with
any one of the persons supposed to know
anything about the ease. Many others
had declared that they had conscientious
scruples against capital punishment;
others were exclu led from the Jury-box
because they were very much prejudiced
against circumstantial evidence; one or
two because they were distrust ful of ex
