Brown, former salesman connected with Red- mond & Co., stock brokers, on trial for forgery. The court told the jurors the law in the case was simfe, and the facts, while conflicting, were not_difficult of adjustment and determination. He ex- plained to the jurors their duties under the law, which requires a person having & different view from the majority to listen with aftention and with a mind willing to be convinced to the argu- ments of his fellow jurors. Attorneys T, Morris Wampler and Robert E. Lynch, representing the ac- cused. took exception to the statement by the court. Brown is charged with forging the name of Maj. Clifford C.
